Twice in the history of the franchise they were bailed out of tough economic times by folks around the state, particularly in Milwaukee. No, the Packers don't NEED to do a lot of things, but offereing 2 tickets per year to the Milwaukee fans is the showing respect to that important part of the fan base and is simply the right thing to do. That said, Green Bay could NOT sustain a team on their own, they need the backing of a base well beyond what is available in Brown County. Sure, they'd probably still sell out the stadium but they'd be killing their revenue base for things beyond what they get at the gate and these days that is a small piece of the pie. I was all for taking the games out of Milwaukee for 2 reasons. 1 - County Stadium sucked for football and 2 - no reason the home team should ever have to travel ANYWHERE for a game - it was a competative disadvantage to the Packers. That said, the Packers are doing the right thing offering tickets to the Milwaukee folks and I am glad they do it. I couldn't care less that my family gets 2 less games per year.</blockquote>
