Today we present a page from the September 3, 1962 Bishops Charities preseason game program. This was a re-match between the Packers and the New York Giants, who had squared off for the NFL title game nine months earlier in Green Bay. The Packers won that match-up 37-0. On the day this program was sold at the stadium, the Packers once again beat New York 20-17 in front of 38,669 fans.The page we’re featuring today depicts the Packers’ administration and directors, etc., as well as the corporation’s finances for the year of 1961. Being the only “publicly” owned team in professional football, they make their finances known each year, whereas the other teams guard these items of information.
This is particularly interesting to anyone who is a Packers’ Shareholder today and sees the costs and income of the modern NFL compared to the early 1960’s.
