Super bowl champion packers sell more shares

The Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers will sell shares of stock next week offering no dividend, no chance for appreciation, practically no transfer rights and not even a shot at a highly-prized season ticket.

But the offering announced on Thursday by the Packers does give fans the opportunity to own a piece of the defending National Football League (NFL) champion, undefeated through 11 games this season.

The Packers were founded in 1919 and became a publicly-owned, non-profit organization four years later. It is the only team permitted by the NFL to have that structure.
