The Green Bay Packers are offering shares of "ownership" for just the sixth time in franchise history and the first time in 10 years.
The stock, which will be sold for $300, will have no value, pay no dividend and allow no say in team matters.
The early stock sales (1923, 1935 and 1950) were done out of necessity to keep the team afloat financially. Additional stock sales followed in 1997 and 2011 to raise money for stadium expansion and projects.
The NFL allows the Packers to periodically conduct such sales to make up for the fact that the team has no deep-pockets owner who can invest into the franchise.
