Green Bay Packers suggest 'major litigation' if Lambeau Field district is disbanded

GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers offered their strongest opposition yet to Rep. David Steffen's proposal to disband the Lambeau Field stadium district during his presentation to the Green Bay finance committee.

Steffen, a Republican who lives in Howard, proposes the elimination of the Green Bay/Brown County Professional Football Stadium District and its seven-member board, which co-owns Lambeau Field with the Green Bay Packers and the city.

His legislation would transfer assets and liabilities of the district to the city of Green Bay, except for $81 million set aside for operations and maintenance of the stadium through at least 2031.
