The Packers are currently the only non-profit, community owned major league professional sports team in the United States. Currently, a total of 4,750,925 shares are owned by 111,967 stockholders — none of whom receives any dividend.
The Packers are now the only publicly owned company with a board of directors in American professional sports (although other teams, such as the Atlanta Braves [Time Warner], the Chicago Cubs [Tribune Company], New York Rangers [Cablevision] , the Seattle Mariners [Nintendo of America], and the Toronto Blue Jays [Rogers Communiations] are directly owned by publicly traded companies). Typically, a team is owned by one person, partnership, or corporate entity; thus, a "team owner." It has been speculated that this is one of the reasons the Green Bay Packers have never been moved from the city of Green Bay, a city of just over 100,000 people.

The Packers are a publically owned team. Through the years, people bought shares of stock in the team (it was $200 a share I think the last time I heard the team offering it...that must have been about 7 years ago)
