[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 590766, member: 10441"] why shouldn't the city of green bay and their population help fund the stadium? That city is nothing to write home about, take away what the Packers Generate for that city and they'd be even less. The fact they didn't want a half percent sales tax to help keep a giant revenue generator in terms of jobs for the citizens and tax base for the city tells me a good portion of the residents don't value big picture visions. and i'm not belittling anyone. I don't think Harlan should get any more credit than he does. It would be like me saying Wolf got lucky with "Favre" and everything else is the result of that luck and i most definitely am NOT saying that. Thompson, like Wolf have worked within the rules they have to work with extremely well in building good teams capable of competing in December and January when it counts. Just like I think Mark Murphy is doing ok, that's about all I thought Harlan did. He hired the guy that built the team. I think the success built by Wolf and Holmgren had more to do with funding that stadium than early morning meet and greets by Harlan. The guy was part of the success, i recognize that, but when writing the story about the 90's Packers, he's a part of a chapter and names like Wolf, Holmgren, Favre and Reggie are the book. [/QUOTE]
