Murphy New Packers President

For the first time since 2000, the Green Bay Packers organization lost money in fiscal year 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The team reported $409.8 million in expenses compared to $371.1 million in revenue — the main cause being no spectators during home games in the regular season.

Team CEO/president Mark Murphy is optimistic that last year will be a blip on the radar moving forward.

“The pandemic had a significant impact on our finances. But that said, I think the Packers remain in a very strong position financially,” Murphy said Friday in a news conference.

The Packers are the NFL’s only publicly owned franchise and disclose their revenues each year.

In 2019, the team pulled in a record $506.9 million.
