(WFRV) - The Packers sent a letter on Wednesday to the Green Bay/Brown County Professional Football Stadium District asking them to step in, as they say that Mayor Eric Genrich has "refused to meet over an extension to the lease agreement for Lambeau Field." The Packers are looking to come to a long-term commitment to utilize Lambeau Field to go forward with roughly $1.5 billion in renovation and upgrade projects without any taxpayer funds. 29-year-old Wisconsin man earns UFC contract after ‘astonishing’ 36 second victory "We are frustrated and disappointed, so we need to discuss with the district the lease and move forward in that respect," Packers Director of Public Affairs Aaron Popkey said.
