They are the only "community owned" team in American professional sports; however, shares of stock have only face value (they do not pay dividends nor do they provide free tickets to games) and can only be sold back to the team.
The team plays its home games at Lambeau Field, named after team founder Curly Lambeau. Prior to 1994, they also played some home games in the nearby city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. They are the only publicly owned professional sports team in America, with over 112,000 shareholders.
