Mark Murphy: 'I hope that I have left the Packers in better shape than when I started'
Retiring Green Bay Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy might regret not winning more than one Super Bowl during his tenure, but he's hopeful his contributions -- both in terms of improvements to and around Lambeau Field and within the community -- have left the Packers in a much better place than when he officially started in 2008. In his final Q&A column at Murphy talked regrets and triumphs but focused on the good of his incredible run as the team president and CEO. "I hope that I have left the Packers in better shape than when I started," Murphy wrote. It would be difficult to argue otherwise. Thanks in part to Murphy, the Packers are as stable on and off the field as they've been in the franchise's history. Murphy is hitting the mandatory retirement age of 70 this month. Ed Policy will take over as the new CEO and president. During Murphy's run, the Packers won Super Bowl XLV, updated Lambeau Field and improved spaces for both players and staff while also building out Titletown around the stadium and bringing the 2025 NFL draft to Green Bay. "I think the improvements we have made to Lambeau Field (South End Zone, concourse renovations, new football and administrative offices, and (opening in a few weeks) a new locker room for the team) have been enhancements that have not taken away from what makes Lambeau Field special," Murphy wrote. "I am also proud of the impact we have had in the community – both through donations to nonprofits and with the development of Titletown (and more recently, with hosting the NFL Draft). I think we have left the organization positioned for continued success with the leadership of Ed Policy, Brian Gutekunst, Matt LaFleur and Russ Ball. Lastly, I am very proud that we have strengthened the connection that our fans have with the team through two stock sales (adding more than 426,000 owners) and the creation of the Packers Everywhere program (thanks to my daughter, Emily, and Blue State Digital)." In terms of most memorable moments during his tenure, Murphy pointed to winning Super Bowl XLV in Dallas and getting to announce Matthew Golden as the Packers' first-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft outside Lambeau Field in Green Bay. "For both, they were rewards for all the hard work that so many people in the organization put forth," Murphy wrote. Murphy called Packers fans "the best fans in all professional sports" and called the Packers president job "the best job in the NFL." "It has been an honor and a privilege to work for you," Murphy finished.

Green Bay sees record tourism year, with Lambeau and Resch Expo leading the way
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – Discover Green Bay released data from 2024, showing a record-breaking year for both economic impact and visitor numbers in Brown County. A significant part of this success was credited to key venues like Lambeau Field, Titletown, and the Resch Expo Center. 'The Resch Expo has been a huge, huge addition to the tourism mix in the area,' said Brad Toll, president and CEO of Discover Green Bay. Family & Childcare Resources of Northeast Wisconsin holds monthly diaper giveaway Since its opening in 2021, the Resch Expo has helped attract major events to Green Bay, but Toll emphasized that visitors often overlook local businesses that contribute to Brown County's popularity. 'We have great attractions here,' Toll said. 'This year, looking at the botanical gardens, they've got an awesome exhibit—that is plastic that has been collected from promotions—that has been turned into art. Our attractions give us something to promote.' Visitor spending in 2024 broke down into five main categories: Food & beverage – $209.7 million Lodging – $178.7 million Retail – $165.5 million Recreation & entertainment – $163.2 million Transportation – $130.2 million These figures helped place Brown County among the top five tourism destinations in the state. Fairchild Equipment delivers refurbished forklift to church in Green Bay to help serve families in need 'It's just in their DNA to do things like that,' said Gov. Tony Evers.
