Did george halas lend green bay money?
No, George Halas did not loan the Packers money - the Packers
actually loaned George Halas money.
The Packers were in serious financial trouble after the 1922
season and were saved by making the ownership of the franchise
public, an effort led by Andrew Turnbull.
In 1932, when George Halas was having financial difficulty
meeting the Bears payroll (during the Depression), Halas borrowed
money from his mother, his mother in law and ($1,500) from the
Packers.
In 1956, with the Packers facing the threat of NFL relocation
unless city residents approved a new football stadium (now Lambeau
Field), Halas spoke forcefully at a rally to encourage local Green
Bay voters to approve public funding for reconstruction of their
football field. The referendum measure passed, and some give Halas
at least some credit for promoting it for the Packers.
