All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

How does the Green Bay Packers organization run their team?
How does the Green Bay Packers organization run their team?
from an ownership standpoint? Why can't we do the same thing. From what I understand, they are the only non-profit, community owned major league pro-sports team in the U.S.
How did they get there? And is that something the Bills can do once Wilson passes on?
My faith doesn’t make me perfect, it makes me forgiven.

Could a potential group of shareholders potentially sue the NFL over this policy?
I doubt it- there are no grounds. The NFL is a private entity and can structure however they want, as long as they don't discriminate based on race, sex, religion, etc. They could make the whole league publicly owned if they wanted to, or they could let one guy own every team. There are no laws governing it.
Re: How does the Green Bay Packers organization run their team?
The Packers have a Board of Directors that is in control. They elect a 7-member Executive Committee that does all the corporate management of the club, including hiring the GM and coach. The only member of the committee who is paid is the President, the rest work for nothing.
They are privately held, the only club that is so. The NFL only allow private ownership, but Green Bay is grandfathered in. The corporation currently has 111,921 stockholders, who collectively own 4,749,925 shares of stock. There have been four stock sales, in 1923, 1935, 1950 and 1997. Shares in 1923 sold for $5 apiece, which in 1997 the shares were issued at $200 each.
Current Executive Committee
* Robert E. Harlan, President, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
* John J. Fabry, Vice President
* Peter M. Platten, III, Secretary
* Larry L. Weyers, Treasurer
* John F. Bergstrom, Member
* Carl W. Kuehne, Member
* Edward J. Martin, Member
Re: How does the Green Bay Packers organization run their team?
the only lawsuit you could have against the NFL is suing them for breach of violating their congress given "monopoly". I forget how it works, but back in the day, the NFL was granted the ability to be a monopoly as long as it provides the games on TV for free. Now with the thursday games only being on their network, it should be a violation of their agreement.
NFL is getting too cocky these days. very soon they'll realize that its teams like Buffalo and Greenbay, and kansas city that helped build the hype. Just cause larger cities can afford more luxury boxes doesn't mean the real fans sit in those boxes.

but the fans with real money sit in those boxes and in the end, those are the only ones that matter to the NFL.
