In an age of multi-millionaire athletes, and even richer owners, there’s a sports team in Green Bay, Wisconsin that anyone can own a share of.

And for only the fifth time in their history, shares of the team are hitting the market. ESPN Radio Wisconsin host Mitch Nelles tells us more about the team’s decision.
