MILWAUKEE -- The Green Bay Packers announced Tuesday that they had a record year financially, driven in large part by their 13-0 start to a season in which they were the defending Super Bowl champion. The Packers said they had $42.7 million in net income in 2011-12, an increase of 150 per cent over the previous year. Total revenue was $302 million, up 6.9 per cent, largely driven by enthusiasm over a season that included a 15-1 regular-season record, team president Mark Murphy said. "It was such a great season," Murphy said. "It kept the excitement level at a very high level." As the NFLs only publicly owned franchise, the Packers are the only NFL team required to reveal detailed financial data. The latest report didnt include $64 million raised through a six-week stock sale around the Christmas season. The stock sale was the fifth in the teams history and first since 1997. Murphy said it added some 250,000 shareholders, which he predicted would help the team down the road in terms of being revenue generators. The teams income was helped by a 4 per cent drop in expenses to $259 million. A year earlier, the team played all four of its playoff games, including the Super Bowl, on the road. The Packers lone playoff game last season was at home, a loss to the New York Giants. Green Bay had national revenue of $171.6 million. That includes revenue sources divided among all teams, such as broadcast deals and road receipts. The team also reported local revenue of $130.4 million, which includes revenue from home gates, local media deals, Pro Shop sales and tours of Lambeau Field. So-called local revenue was up 9.3 per cent in part because of a record number of tourists, Murphy said. There were 156,000 visitors to the stadium, and 137,000 people took the tour. While the teams performance contributed to the strong financial results, Murphy said the team benefited from the fact that labour issues were resolved just before last seasons training camps began -- meaning fans didnt miss anything. The Packers are reinvesting profits into the stadium and other efforts, Murphy said. He mentioned the ongoing $143 million expansion to Lambeau Field that includes a new sound system, two high-definition video boards, new entrances and about 7,000 news seats in time for the 2013 season. He said the team is also working to engage fans through its website and social media. "Youre not going have years like this every year, but we just want to be a consistent organization that performs well on and off the field," he said. "... We couldnt have been more pleased with the way fans supported us." Wholesale Jerseys from china . Peralta has appealed, and can continue to play until the process is complete.
