The Green Bay Packers will be the only NFL team without a naming rights deal on their stadium in a few years. Currently, Lambeau Field stands as one of just two stadiums in the league without a naming deal, Soldier Field being the other. But whenever the Chicago Bears manage to figure out their future home \u2014 whether that\u2019s in the Illinois or Indiana suburbs \u2014 their new playing field is sure to have a corporate name of some kind.<\/p>\n
That will inevitably put some pressure on the Packers to find ways to supplement a source of income that every other team in the league has. But according to new team president\/CEO Ed Policy, that won\u2019t be happening \u201cany time soon,\u201d in his own words.<\/p>\n
Policy took questions this weekend in his monthly mailbag and addressed that one in particular. The short version of his response is that Lambeau Field will remain Lambeau Field for the foreseeable future. But don\u2019t be surprised if other facets of the team facilities get some corporate sponsors. Yes, the Don Hutson Center and Ray Nitschke Field could well end up with some new names to bring in a bit of extra cash. If so, here\u2019s hoping that those Packers legends still keep their names associated with those facilities in some capacity.<\/p>\n
But Lambeau Field? That\u2019s not going to be touched. At least not for now. And that\u2019s the way it should be.<\/p>\n
