Why would you donate money to a professional sports team so that you can claim that you are a "part-owner?" That's hilarious, Fish. You won't even buy dinner without a coupon, but now you want to buy shares of the Packers that will never pay you a dividend? You are losing your edge, buddy. Go have a beer and hit the match-plays on the Strip.
First off, thanks for the info many provided in this thread thus far.......especaially zip with the email information.
Illini, if the Cards sold stock you would sit in a pup tent for a week in front of Busch Staduim to get shares.........give me a break.
It's not hilarious to own stock in the Packers in the least if one is a Packer fan and supporter(and precisely why I intend to buy more stock soon)...........bought stock back in 1997 and the money helps support the team and its facilities.........not to mention the other benefits listed earlier in this thread.
I can't imagine a real Packer fan not wanting to own stock in the team(the figure of 115,000 or so total shareholders seemed really low to me and anticipate this figure rising quite alot with this new offerring).
By the way, buy many dinners without a coupon or comp............even though I wouldn't need to do such with the comps I've accumulated around the city at many different venues. Speaking of such, the comp sitution in Vegas at the moment is the best I've ever seen it...........led by the Silverton($80 a day in food comp for 18 minutes of video poker), and more than a few other venues that are not far behind(actually some are as they give unlimited RFB for a few days at a time.) I'm still amazed that more people don't play machines on these forums, be it slots or video poker........guess that's a good thing.
