Green Bay Packers quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers isn’t simply an impactful player when he’s on the football field. The former NFL MVP continues to drive up interest in the team’s product in the smallish Wisconsin city.
Now likely lost for the season after suffering a collarbone injury in Week 6, Rodgers’ impact is being felt in a big way. Resellers in the area are seeing a dramatic drop in ticket prices for Packers games moving forward this season, with a ton of fans looking to sell their tickets.
“Taking perhaps the hardest is Ticket King in Green Bay which says retail ticket value for the upcoming home game has already gone down at least 50%,” WBAY in Green Bay reported.
Green Bay’s Super Bowl aspirations took a major hit when Rodgers went down against Minnesota on Sunday. It’s readily apparent that fans understand this full well.
Even then, to see a mass exodus of those wanting to attend games isn’t a good thing. Green Bay is known as a football town. It’s all about the Packers. Lambeau was rocking even when the Packers weren’t contending.
If that’s not going to be the case moving forward this season, the environment itself is going to be pretty strange.
