[packers website stock offering.mov] THE NFL TEAM IS OFFERING OWNERSHIP SHARES FOR JUST THE SIXTH TIME IN HISTORY. [i’ve included the pdf which has a letter to future owners, also a screen record (tagboard) of a video showing images of lambeau field that’s downloading in asset folder now. There’s also an image of an old the stock certificate in that screen record video] WISCONSIN’S FOOTBALL TEAM IS FAMOUS FOR BEING OWNED “BY THE PEOPLE.” AND NOW THOSE PEOPLE NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR SOME STADIUM IMPROVEMENTS OVER AT LAMBEAU FIELD. SO IF YOU HAVE 300 DOLLARS TO FULFILL YOUR DREAM OF OWNING A FOOTBALL TEAM - NOW’S YOUR CHANCE. [text: $90 million in stock /// 300,000 shares /// $300 apiece] THE PACKERS ARE OFFERING 90-MILLION DOLLARS IN “STOCK,” THAT’S 300-THOUSAND SHARES AT $300 APIECE. [if we want to feature the years it’s been offered before, it’s: 2011, 1997, 1950, 1935, 1923] IT’S THE FIRST TIME IN A DECADE STOCK’S BEEN OFFERED {2011}. AND AGAIN, JUST THE SIXTH TIME EVER.

THERE ARE NO DIVIDENDS, YOU CAN’T SELL YOUR STOCK, EXCEPT BACK TO THE TEAM FOR A FRACTION OF THE PRICE. AND YOU CAN ONLY GIFT IT IN VERY RESTRICTED CIRCUMSTANCES. [certificate for “little more than a piece of paper + fans in stadium after] IT AMOUNTS TO LITTLE MORE THAN A PIECE OF PAPER. BUT FOR DIEHARD FANS WITH 300 DOLLARS TO BURN, THAT’S ENOUGH TO BECOME A PART OWNER. THE PACKERS SAY THE STOCK SALE WILL GO THROUGH FEBRUARY AND IF YOU’RE INTERESTED, THE INFO’S ON THEIR WEBSITE.
