  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

    PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME TEACHER ACTIVITY GUIDE 2020-2021 EDITIOn quarterback Brett Favre - Hall of fame class of 2016 GREEn BAY PACKERS Team History The incredible saga of the Green Bay Packers began in August 1919, when the Indian Packing Company agreed to sponsor a local pro football team under the direction of Earl (Curly) Lambeau. In 1921, the Packers were granted a membership in the new National Football League. Today, they rank as the third oldest team in pro football. The long and storied history of the Green Bay team is one of struggle, until comparatively recent, for financial survival off the field and playing stability on the field. The Packers’ record has been punctuated with periods of both the highest success and the deepest depths of defeat. Many great football players have performed for the Green Bay team but two coaches, Lambeau and Vince Lombardi, rank as the most dominant figures in the Packers’ epic. Between the two, Lambeau and Lombardi brought the Packers 11 NFL championships, including two record strings of three straight titles, the first in 1929, 1930 and 1931 and the second in 1965, 1966 and 1967. Those last three championships completed the Packers’ dynasty years in the 1960s, which began with Green Bay also winning NFL championships in 1961 and 1962. During the late 1930s and early 1940s, the Lambeau-led Packers were annual championship contenders. They won four divisional crowns and 3 NFL titles. Individually, Lambeau, Lombardi and 24 long-time Packers greats are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

  • Packers Strong All Year Long
    2016/2017 ANNUAL REPORT PACKERS STRONG ALL YEAR LONG. VISION STATEMENT To become and remain the standard of excellence against which all other organizations in professional sports are measured. MISSION STATEMENT To win championships and deliver excellent guest experiences while being guided by our core values. Secondary Mark PRESIDENT’S LETTER Dear Shareholders: The Packers had another exciting year in 2016, with an electrifying, eight-game winning streak that propelled us to the NFC Championship Game, our second such appearance in the last three seasons. It marked the eighth consecutive season we made the playoffs – a team record – and we captured the division title for the fifth time in the last six seasons. This continued success in a very competitive league, spearheaded by Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy, gives me confidence that we’ll continue to be in position to compete for the Super Bowl championship. On the field, our players are among the most talented in the league, led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers. On both sides of the ball, we are fortunate to have a balance of veteran leaders, versatile playmakers and up-and-coming young players that we expect to contribute to another extraordinary season. Off the field, our business operations have continued to be successful, with revenue surpassing $440 million on the strength of increases in both national and local revenue. Our net income and profit from operations remain strong as well, with our net income positively impacted by relocation fees from the three teams moving to different cities. We continued to host fans year-round for Lambeau Field Tours and visits to the Packers Hall of Fame, Packers Pro Shop and 1919 Kitchen & Tap.

  • Diocese of Green Bay
    Diocese of Green Bay FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Packers partner with Catholic Charities for 53rd annual Bishop’s Charities Game GREEN BAY, Wis. (July 22, 2013) – On Friday, Aug. 9, 2013, the Packers will host the Arizona Cardinals for the 53rd annual Bishop’s Charities Game at Lambeau Field. Over the years, the Bishop’s Charities Game has raised approximately $3.7 million for Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Green Bay. General ticket sales should be directed to Packers.com, the Packer ticket office or any Ticketmaster outlet. The charitable contest began in 1961 when the diocese approached Vince Lombardi with the idea. “It is hard to believe that we are celebrating 53 years of partnership between the Diocese of Green Bay and the Green Bay Packers,” said Bishop’s Charities Game Steering Committee Chairman Denis Hogan. For 34 of those years, the Bishop’s Charities Game committee – led by Denis’ father, the late Jim Hogan – sold tickets for the game and produced the game program, including the sales of all advertising for the program. These efforts were so very important not only to those in need, but also to making the preseason games a success for the Packers. The efforts of many who served on the committee created tremendous fundraising success for Catholic Charities. Beginning in 1995, the Packers took over responsibility for all preparations. Over the past 19 years, the Packers organization has generously continued to support Catholic Charities through an annual contribution supporting those in need in our community. “We take this opportunity to thank the Packers for their ongoing support of the charitable works of the Diocese of Green Bay,” added Hogan.

  • Packers Annual Report
    GREEN BAY PACKERS ANNUAL REPORT 2019/2020 VISION STATEMENT To become and remain the standard of excellence against which all other organizations in professional sports are measured. MISSION STATEMENT To win championships and deliver excellent guest experiences while being guided by our core values. PRESIDENT’S LETTER Dear Shareholders: As I write this Green Bay Packers Annual Report, we are all being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Packers’ facilities were closed on March 13 (and we just recently re-opened some of our businesses) and the majority of our staff has been working remotely into July. Like many of you, we have faced multiple challenges brought on by the pandemic, including those related to our friends, families and work. Our Packers Family – players, coaches and entire staff – has managed the trying circumstances well. I am very proud of how our employees continued to focus on preparing for the upcoming season. Our football operations deftly transitioned to online operations, including conducting the NFL Draft and the offseason program in virtual manners. There is great uncertainty regarding the season, and we have planned for a variety of different scenarios. In addition to facing the pandemic, our nation has witnessed the tragic killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many others. These horrifying events highlight the systemic racism that still exists in our country. There is obviously the need for real change in the areas of racism, economic inequality, police brutality and social injustice. I am impressed by how our players are bringing attention to these crucial issues.
