    Yup, my share of Packers stock allows me to go to the annual "shareholders" meeting in Lambeau, and I can purchase some "owners only" swag from the Packer's pro-shop, but other than that it's basically like a voluntary tax and a chance to put something on your wall. The funny thing is most fans are cool with that since they all know it's wink-wink-nudge-nudge.

    Yah, I would invest to make money, in fact as a long term investment it would be a rock for anyone to bank on. Basketball teams are better that real estate for stability and values going up over the long haul.

    Would you buy stock in any Paul Allen business post-Microsoft?

    My Grandfather was from Appleton.

    I got a Lynn Dickey Jersey thrown on my back when I was 8 without knowing how much misery I was going to be in for, until the Ron Wolf/Mike Holmgren/Favre resurrection in the nineties. That said, the last twenty years have been pretty 'O-rite'.
