GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - The Green Bay and Brown County Stadium District has called for Lambeau Field lease negotiations to restart between themselves: the Green Bay Packers and the city of Green Bay.
The Packers announced in October that they would be ending negotiations with the city and engaging only with the stadium district.
Shortly after, the common council backed Mayor Eric Genrich and called for the Packers to continue negotiations with the city.
The Stadium Board’s Executive Director, Brian Dworak, says the board had a productive conversation amongst themselves and they believe that all parties need to be at the table to continue Lambeau lease talks.
Dworak says the conversation led to board members agreeing on priorities for the district as they move forward in the negotiations.
Dworak believes restarting with all three groups will help get everyone back on the same page.
The Packers sent a letter to the stadium board back in October, inviting them to meet about the lease negotiations.
Dworak said on Tuesday the board is looking forward to meeting with both the city and the Green Bay Packers in the near future.
There are still eight years remaining on the current Lambeau Field lease, with five additional two-year options, should the Packers choose to use them.
We also reached out to both the Packers and the Mayor’s office for comment.
Both parties electing did not provide comment at this time.
