Thanks to the unique ownership structure of the Green Bay Packers, this time of year gives people the only chance to see exactly how much money is coming into an NFL franchise.
The Packers released their 2017 financials yesterday, and there were a few interesting things to note.
First, revenues rose to a record level but so did expenses. Revenues rose $13.5 million while expenses increased $44.8 million. The latter is due to ongoing construction in the Titletown district plus increases in player salaries and travel expenses. Revenue meanwhile grew due to increase payouts from television contracts and new sponsor agreements.
