How Green Bay Packers got their name?

Answer 1

They started in Green Bay! "Packers", referring to the Indian Packing Company was decided by one of the orignial owners. In the early days of professional football, most teams played in small Midwestern cities. It only seems unusual today because Green Bay is the only small-town team to survive from those days. In addition to having teams in places like Chicago and New York, the NFL was once dotted with clubs from places like Muncie, Indiana, and Dayton, Ohio.

Answer 2

The Packers were founded in 1919 by Curley Lambeau and George Calhoun of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. Lambeau asked his employer, the Indian Packing Company, for money to buy uniforms. They gave him $500 on the condition that the team be named after the company. Lambeau named the team the 'Packers'.

Answer 3

Actually, the Packers would play 3 to 4 of their home schedule games at county field in Milwaukee. The traditional was started back in the 1930's as a way to expand their fan base and to generate much needed revenue. For a team that has the smallest market in the NFL, the games played in Milwaukee allowed them to attract the fan base reserved for much larger markets. This was a tradition, for over 60 years, until 1994 when the Packers decided to end it. Mostly due to fears that the league would attempt to relocate them to Milwaukee, which at the time was the 11th biggest city. The people of Milwaukee will always be loved by and are a crucial part of the Packers nation. To this very day, many residents of Milwaukee still consider the Packers their home team.
