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 say Green Bay is taking an "obstructionist approach" to negotiating a new Lambeau Field lease. Green Bay says "the Packers are grossly mischaracterizing our views and actions."
