GREEN BAY/BROWN COUNTY
PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL STADIUM

For Immediate Release:
February 21, 2003
COMMEMORATIVE BRICK AND TILE SALES RESULTS
Sales Exceed Quarter Million Dollar Mark and Show
Nationwide Interest
GREEN BAY, WI -- The Green Bay/Brown County Professional
Football Stadium District today announced sales results
for its commemorative brick and tile sales program,
which was launched January 14, 2003. Sales topped the
quarter million dollar mark on February 17th. Through
this date, there were 1,439 orders processed and 2,128
items ordered resulting in gross revenue of $250,950
and an average order of nearly $175.
“Sales data show a strong national interest,
as nearly one half of the orders are from outside the
State of Wisconsin”, said Greg Kuehl, Deputy
Director of the stadium District. He also indicated, “Orders
have come from 46 other states, Washington D.C. and
Canada, and this widespread geographic interest definitely
is a benefit to sales”.
Wisconsin sales figures produced some interesting
results. Of the 783 orders placed from within the state,
214 were from Green Bay—showing strong local
support. Kuehl noted, “I am somewhat surprised
by the fact that only 33 orders came from Milwaukee.
This is less than the number of orders from a number
of individual states including Illinois (76), Minnesota
(79), California (42), Texas (36) and Michigan (47).
Milwaukee is definitely Packers country; obviously,
we need to improve awareness of the sale in that area.”
Fans or businesses can purchase either a commemorative
brick or tile. Bricks will be installed in a walkway
outside of the north end zone of the stadium. Tiles
will be installed on walls in the Titletown Atrium.
Prices range from $75 for a 4-inch by 8-inch brick
to $2,500 for a corporate/business display.
