GREEN BAY - The Green Bay Packers are
getting ready to break ground on a project that will add 6,600 seats
at Lambeau Field in time for the 2013 season.
The team will hold a groundbreaking
ceremony Thursday at 11 a.m. Packers executives Mark Murphy and
Jason Wied are among the officials who will attend.
The project will also include
building a new rooftop viewing terrace that club-seat holders can
use on game days. There will also be new gates, elevators and access
points for people with disabilities
The Packers said last week that they
— not taxpayers — will cover the $130 million cost. The team
says it's considering raising money by having another stock sale.
That would give even more people a chance to be part-owner of the
storied franchise.
