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.
