GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers plan to make $140 million in renovations to the Lambeau Field Atrium, starting this offseason.

The Packers plan to expand their Pro Shop and move it as part of a shuffle involving the Hall of Fame and Curly’s Pub.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports the Pro Shop will double in size and move to a new ground-floor location. The Packers Hall of Fame will move from the atrium basement to the second-floor site now occupied by Curly’s Pub. The pub will move to where the Pro Shop is now.

Work is expected to be completed in 2015.

The project is the final phase of stadium renovation work that began in 2011 and included a new sound system, new video boards and about 7,000 new seats.

carlitosway - Because liberals think those shoveling the snow should be making 30 dollars an hour and it should be permanent employment even if there's no snow.

If they keep 'adding on' to that stadium it is going to start looking like a pile of legos. It is a great stadium right now, I fear they will go over the top at some point.

"Funding for this phase will come from the $85.5 million in private financing raised by the Packers and a $55 million loan from the NFL. In total, including the current project in the south end zone, renovations to the stadium will cost $286.5 million, with no funding coming from public tax money."

First you have to know if you need a right hand or left hand shovel and the difference between snow and shinenola. Give em credit I heard they had to turn away 500.

This from a team that can't afford to have snow removed from the field professionally.
