Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers compete in the National Football League as a member club of the league’s National Football Conference North division. It is the third-oldest franchise in the NFL, dating back to 1919, and is the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team based in the United States. Home games have been played at Lambeau Field since 1957.
The Packers are the last of the “small town teams” which were common in the NFL during the 1920s and 1930s. Founded August 11, 1919 by Curly Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun, Green Bay was awarded an NFL charter on August 27, 1921, making it eligibile for the 1922 NFL season. Between 1919 and 1920, the Packers competed against other semi-pro clubs from around Wisconsin and Michigan.
In 1921, the club was renamed to the Green Bay Packers, after Lambeau’s employer Indian Packing Company. The team played against other semi-pro clubs from around Wisconsin and Michigan until 1922 when they joined NFL as charter members. The Packers have had success throughout their history; they are one of only five teams to win three straight league championships (1965–67), have won five Super Bowls (I, II, XXXI, XLV, XCVII), eight NFC championships (NFL record), have nineteen divisional championships (third most in NFL history), and have an overall winning record (regular season + playoffs) of .569 – 29th best among all NFL franchises as well as being first overall with 33 playoff appearances out of 88 possible seasons since 1921 (counting any year in which at least one game was played). All of these accomplishments occurred under head coach Vince Lombardi during 1960s; between 1961 and 1967 seasons inclusive Lombardi led Packers to five first place finishes in NFL’s Western Conference; winning three straight league championships during 1965–67 seasons inclusive as well performing last second victories within 1964 & 1967 NFL Championship games that would serve as preludes towards winning respective I & II Super Bowl titles for those very years – with former win being considered by many historiansfootball historians being one of greatest moments within professional football history despite having been decided upon play happening with just seconds left onto clock
