I would of thought that the Packers would be the only one with no public funding, but I would be wrong. It appears that only two stadiums were privately funded.
NFL STADIUM FUNDING INFORMATION
Stadiums Since 1997
Lambeau Field (renovation) Green Bay Packers 2003
57%
Gillette Stadium New England Patriots (Lowest Public Funding) 2002
17%
Average Public Funding 56%

NFL stadiums have received an estimated $6.7 billion from taxpayers
According to an analysis from ESPN, the total price tag to taxpayers for building new stadiums and renovating old ones has been $6.7 billion since 1997. That includes 19 new stadiums and three major renovation projects.
Not every team has received public money. The stadium the Jets and Giants share in New Jersey was financed privately, and the stadium the Rams and Chargers will share in Los Angeles is being financed privately as well.

Lambeau Field is owned by the city, as is the team.

The Packers have been a publicly owned, non-profit corporation since August 18, 1923. The Packers are owned by the fans, not a wealthy owner operating with a profit-at-all-costs (PAAC) philosophy. The Green Bay Packers are a publicly-owned non-profit with a unique stock ownership structure. Green Bays bylaws state that the Packers are a community project, intended to promote community welfare. Today, 360,760 people (representing 5,011,558 shares) are owners of the iconic franchise.
Lambeau Field Owner: City of Green Bay and Green Bay/Brown County Professional Football Stadium District (operated/maintained by the team).
So Lambeau Field is owned by the City / County while the Packers are a non-profit owned by 360,760 people, many in the Green Bay area.

Did you vote for Hillary?
Do you and your fellow “Democrats” have anything to say about how the DNC operates?
Same thing!

I promise NEVER to watch the Seahawks again. Ever. And I am from the Seattle area.
