History of Green Bay

Titletown, USA RoadyGoat

Green Bay is the smallest city with a major pro sports team, and it wears the nickname 'Titletown' because no franchise in the NFL has won more. The Packers hold thirteen league championships, the most in league history, including the first two Super Bowls and titles in 1996 and 2010. They're also a genuine oddity: the only community-owned, nonprofit team in American major pro sports. More than five hundred thousand shareholders hold Packers stock, but it pays no dividends, can't be traded, and grants no real equity, it's pride on paper. No single person can own more than a tiny sliver, so there's no billionaire owner to threaten relocation; the town literally owns the team. They play at Lambeau Field, where the bleachers freeze and the legend of the 'frozen tundra' was born. In Green Bay, the team and the town are the same thing.

The Brown County Potter's Field RoadyGoat

1931

On Curry Lane on Green Bay's east side lies the Brown County Potter's Field, also called the County Home Cemetery — the county's pauper burial ground. 'Potter's field' is a Biblical term, from the clay field the priests bought with the silver Judas returned, set aside to bury strangers; in America it came to mean a public grave for the unknown and the poor. This is the second of two such sites in Brown County. Opened in 1931 and used until 1973, it holds residents of the old Brown County Poor Farm, Insane Asylum, and Mental Health Center, along with the destitute and unidentified — men and women, from one day old into their nineties. By the 1990s it had vanished under trees and brush, until the Winiecki VFW Post 9677 reclaimed it, restored the markers, and raised a memorial dedicated in 2015. All but two of those buried here have now been named.
