If you want to own a piece of the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers, now's your chance. The Packers, the NFL's only publicly owned team, announced details Thursday about their first stock sale in 14 years and fifth in team history. The money will help pay for $130 million in renovations at historic Lambeau Field in Green Bay. Own just one share and technically you're a team owner.
