2012 Shareholders Meeting

As promised, here is an update on today’s 2012 Packers Shareholders meeting. We arrived at Lambeau Field about 7:45 a.m. this morning, and she looked like this on a lightly overcast day.

Fellow shareholders make their way to the Lambeau Atrium gate. 

The Atrium didn’t open until 8:00 a.m., and the lines were long. But once the doors opened, it took only a few minutes to clear the courtyard area.

Oh yeah. 

People milling about in the Atrium before heading to the seats in the Lambeau bowl.

Our first look at the inside view of the 6,700 new seats being added in the South end zone.

Lambeau Field awaits the football season. Coming soon, thankfully.

Hardcore: Sitting in your season ticket seats during the annual meeting. By his age, this must be a third-generation season ticket holder.

The stars of the day are the men in suits, who entered the playing field to applause. 

Team president Mark Murphy addresses the gathering. 

GM Ted Thompson gives his football report. 

Another look at the new construction where it meets the existing structure. 

The meeting is over... time for a brat!

How great for the Packers... people lined up to give them loads and loads of cash!

Brisk sales in the Packers Pro Shop today, and we did our part as well.
