Lambeau Field brick sales
COMMEMORATIVE BRICK AND TILE SALES
RESULTS
Sales Exceed $1.5 Million Dollars
June 25, 2007
GREEN BAY, WI -- The Green Bay/Brown County
Professional Football Stadium District today announced
sales results for its commemorative brick and tile program,
which was launched January 14, 2003. The program enables
fans or businesses to have a brick or tile with a personalized
inscription installed at Lambeau Field; replica products
are also available for direct shipment to an address
specified by the purchaser.
Through May 31, 2007, gross sales equal $1,502,505.
There have been 8,350 orders placed for 12,338 items--7,341
for installation at the stadium and 4,997 for replica
products. Items sold include 8,232 bricks and 4,106
tiles.
Greg Kuehl, Program Consultant for the Stadium District,
stated that, "Sales have remained strong but not
at the pace experienced during the grand opening of
the renovated stadium in 2003. However, fans remain
interested in the program and purchase items to memorialize
a loved one or commemorate special events such as: weddings,
anniversaries, birthdays, and holidays like Mother's
or Father's Day and Christmas."
"The geographic distribution of orders is interesting
and truly shows that Packers fans are everywhere",
said Kuehl. He noted that, "Although the State
of Wisconsin accounts for 55% of the orders, items have
been sold in every state and several foreign countries.
We are very pleased that there have been 3,784 out-of-state
orders contributing 46% of our program's revenue."
Within Wisconsin, sales display exceptionally strong
local support. Kuehl reported that, "There were
1,039 orders from Green Bay accounting for over one
fifth of the revenue from in-state sales."
Pat Webb, Executive Director of the Stadium District
stated that, "Net proceeds from brick/tile sales
help accelerate retirement of the debt issued to fund
the Lambeau Field renovation. Our program's success
is largely due to the result of our excellent working
relationship with the Packers. The Team has been very
easy to work with regarding promotion, installation
and customer service, and this working relationship
has enabled the program to become one of the most successful
in the country."
Fans or businesses can still purchase commemorative
bricks and tiles. Bricks will be installed in a walkway
outside of the north end zone of the stadium. Tiles
will be installed on exterior walls of the stadium.
Prices range from $75 for a 4-inch by 8-inch brick to
$2,500 for a corporate/business display.
