The team invested more than $1 billion in Lambeau Field in the last 24 years, including the 2003 renovation. That renovation, which cost $295 million, was paid for by a half-cent sales tax in Brown County. The tax was retired in 2015. The Packers made another $600 million-plus in investments in Lambeau Field without public funding.

The Packers organization sent a formal request Wednesday to the Stadium District to get involved with Lambeau Field lease negotiations after the Packers say Mayor Eric Genrich refused to meet over an extension to the lease agreement that ends in 2032.
