But according to a new report, the Packers are considering what many would consider an “unspeakable” change to Lambeau Field. Green Bay is considering a naming rights deal, which would change the name of the legendary venue.

In a recent interview with Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, Packers president and CEO Ed Policy shared that he was considered about his franchise’s ability to compete moving forward. The Packers could be at a disadvantage, given that they are owned by the fans, while private equity money is being funneled into other teams.

“If you think about, any other team, they’ve got deep-pocketed owners, most of them are worth significantly more than that, and they could sell less than 10% of their team, give up no controlling interest, and raise a heck of a lot more than that,” Policy told Fischer.
Something that is on the table: a naming rights deal for Lambeau Field.
“We’re soon to be the only stadium without naming rights,” Policy said. “That’s not a threshold we’re looking to cross any time soon, but we might be a little more aggressive with some of the other entitlement inventory we just hadn’t taken advantage of in the past, including things like training facility entitlements and the Titletown campus.”

Miller Stadium at Lambeau Field, or Lambeau Field presented by Amazon, is something that could be coming soon.
“Finance and economics really don’t play into our football decision-making right now, and it’s my job to ensure that it never does,” Policy told Fischer. “Given the pace that the expenses have accelerated over the past few years, if we find ourselves falling behind, it’s going to be really hard to catch up. So, we have to keep ourselves in a position where we’re not falling behind.”
NFL fans already dreading potential change
“This is unspeakable. Don’t do it!” one fan wrote.

“As one of the last remaining unnamed venues, we MUST keep LAMBEAU field. It’s way too iconic to tamper with,” one fan added.
“Not selling the naming rights is part of what makes the Packers so unique in the NFL and American sports,” one fan added.
“The quote says it’s not happening anytime soon but the idea of the Hutson Center, Hinkle and Nitschke Field losing their name was enough to kill my vibe when I read this yesterday. Big red flag,” one fan added.

“If Policy is starting his new position like this he’s not going to be in Wisconsin very Long. You should Respect what’s worked for 100 years before you came, Policy!!” one fan added.
NFL fans are rightfully already getting upset about the possibility.
