But for many, being an owner is about more than just the perks - it’s about being part of a legacy and tradition that dates back to 1923. As Jennifer from Middleton, WI, puts it, “I believe our presidents have done a stellar job of balancing league business with what’s best for GB, because they can.” It’s a sense of trust and faith in the team’s leadership that gives owners a sense of pride and ownership in the team’s success.
