Football Team Banks Future On Real Estate Investment

Filed under: Sports

The publicly-owned Green Bay Packers football team can't rely on a deep-pocketed owner for help and so one of the ways that the team is looking out for its future is by investing in real estate. A recent article from WBAY says that the team has picked about around 20 acres to the west and south of their stadium, Lambeau Field. The team is hoping that the investment will bring revenue to the team in the years to come. Businesses like K-mart and Big Lots sit on land the Packers own and the Packers are planning more development. A mix of hotels, restaurants and retail spaces are being created for the surrounding Ashwaubenon area. The village has a population of around 17,000 but Lambeau Field and the practice fields draw many tourists each year.

Brett Favre's Wisconsin Home, Estate of the Day

Here we are again with another sports celebrity selling a home in the town they used to play for. You might think that former Green Bay Packer quarterback Brett Favre would have one of the most lavish homes in the Green Bay area. You would be wrong. The Real Estalker Mama led me to the listing for Favre's home in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin which reveals a simple ranch style home in a quiet neighborhood.

One of the Real Estalker's able commenters reports that Favre's main manse is in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and this is just the home he stayed in during the football season. He and his wife, Deanna bought the four-bedroom home in 2005 for $416,000 so it was likely just a temporary home in a town that he was planning not to stay in after he retired from football. This likely explains the decor which seems to have been shipped straight from the local furniture store. It is listed at just $475,000.
