Packers could consider dissolving ownership to adopt new structure

The Green Bay Packers have a potential ownership option should their current structure become uncompetitive. During a shareholder meeting later this week, team president Ed Policy highlighted rising financial pressures faced by the franchise due to wealthy private owners of other teams. Policy mentioned that if significant changes were necessary, the team might dissolve and sell its assets to an expansion franchise, with profits going to charity. This radical change would only be considered under dire circumstances, should competitiveness be compromised. The team’s unique ownership model makes alterations complicated, but there are discussions about what might happen if traditional ownership becomes necessary.
