2000 IN REVIEW
After the quick failure of Ray Rhodes, the Packers turned to former assistant coach Mike Sherman who followed Mike Holmgren to Seattle. The Packers would get off
to a slow start under Sherman and sat at 5-7, after an 0-2 start. With the playoffs all but out of reach the Packers closed the season on a strong note winning their
final four games including two against teams bound for the postseason. Following the season GM Ron Wolf would retire, as coach Mike Sherman was given his
responsibilities.
THE PACKERS FINANCIAL DOWNWARD SPIRAL
After weathering numerous financial storms in their history, the Green Bay Packers found themselves in another monetary crisis in the late 1990s. After making a
profit of just over $7 million in 1998 and just under $7 million in 1999, the team lost $419,000 in the 2000 fiscal year. It was Green Bay's first operating loss in more
than a decade. The situation was made worse, as the Packers had to dip into the team's cash reserves, which declined to $49 million, compared with $52.4 million
in 1998. With the reserves being drained, and no new sources of revenue, the franchise was projecting that reserves would fall to $7.9 million by 2004 and that a
negative cash reserve would require the team to borrow almost $10 million to fund operations by 2005. In 2000, the Packers dropped to 17th of the 31 NFL teams in
overall revenue. Two years prior, the Packers were ninth in the league in revenue, and the team was 15th with $102 million in revenue in 1999. In January 2000, the
Packers announced plans for a $295 million referendum to renovate, modernize and enlarge Lambeau Field. Packer president Bob Harlan went out and pressed
the case for the referendum everywhere he could. Harlan was going through a personal nightmare at the same time the Packers were facing a financial nightmare.
Harlan’s mother suffered a brain stem stroke in December 1999, and, according to later report, his own health deteriorated during a very contentious public battle
over the referendum. In a Green Bay Press-Gazette article in 2009, Harlan said he would travel every weekend eight hours to Des Moines, Iowa, to visit his mother,
who was paralyzed, couldn’t speak and didn’t recognize him. She died a month before the stadium vote was taken. The project's voter-approved financing came in
the form of a half-cent sales tax in Brown County to support over $160 million in bonding. The state of Wisconsin approved funding of an additional $9.1 million for
stadium infrastructure improvements. The Packers, the city and the NFL contributed $125.9 million from a one-time seat user fee. And, the club pledged to cover any
project cost overruns in consideration of its authority to direct the design of the building and stadium construction. Their plan won voter approval, by a 53-47 margin, in September 2000, and construction began early the following year, insuring the Packers would remain competitive into the 21st century.

AHMAN GREEN JOINS THE PACKERS
* Seattle Seahawks (1998-1999) - Green was drafted in the third round (76th overall) of the 1998 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks. Although Green produced a high rushing average (6.0 in 1998 and 4.6 in 1999) he had difficulty earning significant playing time behind established veteran Ricky Watters.
* Green Bay Packers (2000-2006) - In 2000, Green was traded along with a fifth round draft pick to the Green Bay Packers for Fred Vinson and a sixth round pick. He was selected to the NFL Pro Bowl every year from 2001 to 2004 and broke several franchise records. From the time he joined the Packers in 2000 up through the end of the 2004 season, Green gained more yards from scrimmage (9,036) and rushing yards (6,848) than any other NFL player. In 2003, he had his best year as a professional and set the Green Bay franchise record by running for 1,883 yards in the regular season. He threw a touchdown pass on October 17, 2004 vs. the Detroit Lions. During his time with the Packers, Green became one of two players in NFL history to have two touchdown runs of 90 or more yards (Bo Jackson is the other). Despite his injury-shortened 2005 season, the Packers re-signed Green to a one-year, $2 million contract, with an extra $3 million in incentives. After the 2006 season he became a free agent.
* Houston Texans (2007-2008) - On March 4, 2007 Green signed a four-year, $23 million deal with the Houston Texans. He was reunited with his former head coach and former Texans' assistant head coach Mike Sherman along with former Packers running back Samkon Gado. He was asked to handle the bulk of the load at running back after a 2006 season in which the Texans used a "running back by committee" approach, with a lot of success. On February 10, 2009, Green was released by the Texans.
* Green Bay Packers (2009) - Ahman Green officially re-signed with the Green Bay Packers on October 21, 2009 after the Packers placed running back DeShawn Wynn on injured reserve. With his former number, 30, taken by fullback John Kuhn, Green chose to wear No. 34 in honor of former Chicago Bears running back Walter Payton. On November 8, 2009 Green broke Jim Taylor's record to become the all time leading rusher in Packer history.
* Omaha Nighthawks (2010) - In an interview on radio station KOZN, Green publicly campaigned to join the Omaha Nighthawks of the United Football League. Green was subsequently included in the Nighthawks' 40-man protected roster.
* Montreal Alouettes (2011) - On February 7, 2011, the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League announced they signed Green to a tryout contract. On March 9, 2011, it was announced that he had signed a two-year contract with the Alouettes. Green was released on the first day of training camp on June 5, 2011 after failing his physical due to a hamstring injury.

Another stock sale (1998): The Packers raise more than $24 million in a stock sale and commit the proceeds to improvements to Lambeau Field and player training facilities. Packers' executives meet with architects to determine what renovations can be made to the aging stadium.
Renovation halted (1999): The team puts on hold a major renovation of Lambeau Field, saying it can't afford it, given the rising cost of staying competitive. Packers President Bob Harlan says a new stadium may be needed within a decade. Fans press for another look at renovation.
Another request (2000): Harlan announces plan to renovate Lambeau Field for $295 million, funded largely by a 0.5 percent Brown County sales tax and a seat license fee paid by season-ticket holders. An atrium would be built to accommodate year-round use of the facility. On Sept. 12, Brown County voters pass the sales tax 53 percent to 47 percent.
Let the renovation begin (2001): Work on the renovation begins in January, but the official groundbreaking is delayed until May 19 in deference to warmer weather. As part of the ceremonies, 872 people form a semicircle from the south end zone to the 50-yard line for a group hug, coming just short of a world record for group-hug participants but raising almost $30,000 for Special Olympics.
Almost done (2002): The preseason welcomes fans to a new-look Lambeau Field. The luxury boxes are finished, the upper and lower concourses are open except on the north end, and the Atrium forms a new main entrance to the stadium, although many of the Atrium's amenities will await the 2003 season.
Party time! (2003): A weeklong series of festivities marks the stadium's rededication. The fully renovated Lambeau Field hosted its first regular-season game on Sept. 7, against the Minnesota Vikings with the Vikings beating the green and gold 30-25.
May 15th 2000 - Gov. Tommy Thompson signed legislation Saturday inside Lambeau Field that allows taxpayers to decide if they want to pay a half-cent sales tax to help finance a $295 million stadium renovation, ending a lengthy legislative battle. "Today we're putting the future of Lambeau Field in the hands of the people of Brown County," Thompson said as he signed the bill on the football field. "Lambeau Field is old by professional sports standards but we are not going to let it go. We're going to rebuild this stadium." The legislation -- stemming from negotiations between the team, local officials and lawmakers -- allows a Brown County referendum in the Sept. 12 primary on a proposed half-percent sales tax to finance $160 million in construction bonds to pay for the project.

10 years after sales tax vote, public is still divided over financing of Lambeau Field renovations (Green Bay Press-Gazette - October 24th 2010)
Renovation/Redevelopment
2001-03: The $295 million project added 12,032 seats, pushing present capacity to 73,142.
Lambeau Field Upgrades
Tickets - Increase in stadium capacity from 60,890 in 2001 to 73,142 presently. The Packers are making available 4,000 tickets per game to Brown County residents 18 and over who do not hold season tickets; the program began in 2003. The team was able to further reduce its season-ticket waiting list, which still contains more than 83,000 people; roughly 3,500 names have come off since 2001.
Club Level
166 state-of-the-art private boxes featuring increased square footage and high-end custom finishes. Club seating increased from 1,920 indoor seats to approximately 3,000 indoor and 3,000 outdoor seats. An exclusive club level can be accessed by private box and club seat holders on game day. Available to the general public during the year for functions.
Amenities
Concession points of sale doubled (to almost 300). Dramatic increase in women's restroom facilities (180 to 556); men's restrooms increased from 436 to 708. Disabled seating increased from 56 to 733. An upper concourse was added and existing concourses were widened.
Redevelopment Financing
Total cost: $295 million
Referendum passed by Brown County voters Sept. 12, 2000.
$160 million in bonds from half-cent sales tax in Brown County. $9.1 million for stadium infrastructure improvements from the state of Wisconsin. $125.9 million from the Packers, the city of Green Bay and the NFL... Team asked fans for one-time seat user fee ($1,400 for seven-game 'Green Package' ticket holders, $600 for three-game 'Gold Package' ticket holders) in 2001... Proceeds contributed from the 1997-98 stock sale and an NFL loan... Additionally, the club pledged to cover any project cost overruns in consideration of its authority to direct the design of the building and stadium construction.
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila entered college weighing less than 200 pounds, but set the career sack record at San Diego State with 33. But he measured 6-foot-3 1/2, 245 pounds at the Combine, too small to play on the defensive line. The Packers were confident he could put on weight and play defensive end. They were right, and Gbaja-Biamila quickly became one of the league's top pass-rushers.
