Lambeau Field Renovation Update
Good News: the effort to preserve Lambeau Field has passed its first hurdle!!! On friday the 24th of March the state assembly passed Assembly Bill 892. The Bill will enable Brown County voters to decide in a referendum whether or not to impose a half penny sales tax to help removate Lambeau Field.
The Bill is a product of Consensus among the Team, Brown County elected officials and State Legislators. And here's what they came up with.
Under the Revised Bill
* Residents who want to can contribute to Lambeau Field on their taxes.
** What you contribute would increase any tax due or decrease funds
* Season ticket Holders
** recoup the cost whenever they surrender their tickets
*** the next person on the waiting list would have to pay
the cost before he or she gets the tickets
* TV Blackout Ban
** on a 7-5 vote , Rep. John Ryba won approval of an amendment that would require
the Packers to purchase any unsold tickets to ensure live local telecasts of games.
* Brick Sale
** to help raise money the district could sell engraved tilies or bricks that would
be displayed in the renovated stadium.
