I think it was 1997 when stock for the team was sold last. I was 13 at the time and didn't know what stock and shareholders even meant. When will the day come that the option to buy stock in the team reemerges?
I wouldn't hold my breath. They only sell stock to raise capital for large projects, like re-doing the stadium. But look at the bright-side, you were 13 when they last did it so you may come a time in your life they do. Unfortunately I did not have the money to buy the last time, otherwise I would have at least 1 share.I think it was 1997 when stock for the team was sold last.

Not in the foreseeable future. The rest of the NFL hates the fact that to raise money we simply sell stock and the cows and sheep come to the tank. That's not something and independant owner can do. It comes directly out of his pocket or his business and in todays NFL their accounted differently. In fact we'bve have to be on death's door step and then you'd have a contingent from both coasts against it. When we used the last one in conjunctioin with PSL's and taxes it still really pissed off most of the NFL. Son't look for it anytime soon.
Other teams don't want to make their teams public because it's their playtoy. I'f I'm a billionair like Jerry Jones and dumping my money into a team why would I want a team gathering money from the masses? They don't want to answer to a board or stockholders. They want GB to be the same....not aout sellling stock to drag up cahs. The NFL would never allow it anyway. They like the good old boy network where they drink scotch and smoke Cubans. I doubt Mark Murhpy gets invited to thatWell, when they make their teams "public," they too can sell stock to make money. Otherwise they should ****.
