Which NFL team is based in Green Bay, Wisconsin?

The NFL team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, is the Green Bay Packers.

The Packers are one of the NFL’s oldest franchises and were founded in 1919 by Earl “Curly” Lambeau and George Calhoun. Lambeau worked at the Indian Packing Company, which inspired the team’s name. Green Bay is the smallest market in the NFL, yet the club has maintained a national following for more than a century.

The Packers play their home games at Lambeau Field, which opened in 1957. It is one of the most recognizable stadiums in American sports and is famous for frozen-weather games, devoted fans known as “Cheeseheads,” and the team’s traditional outdoor setting.

Green Bay is also unusual because the Packers are publicly owned rather than controlled by a single private owner. Community stock sales have helped support the franchise, although the shares do not function like ordinary publicly traded stock. The team’s major rivals include the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings, all members of the NFC North.
