Packers Sales, Profit Reach Records in Year After Super Bowl Win
This article is for subscribers only.
The Green Bay Packers’ fiscal 2012 profit more than doubled to a record $42.7 million as costs fell and retail sales climbed a year after they won the Super Bowl.
Net income in the year through March eclipsed the previous record of $25.4 million set in 2005, Chief Executive Mark Murphy said yesterday on an conference call. In fiscal 2011, the Packers had earned $17.1 million, as benefits from winning the National Football League championship were offset by uncertainty surrounding a four-month player lockout that ended in July 2011.
