PackersnewsPackersnewsThe Green Bay Packers are the winningest team in NFL history with 12 championships. They are also the only non-profit, community-owned professional sports franchise in the USA. The Packers have a huge fan base that extends far beyond the borders of Green Bay, a small city (pop 100,000 ) in northern Wisconsin. The Green Bay Press Gazette, a local daily paper, hosts Packersnews.com, the ultimate Packer' fan site. Starting with this season there is also a mobile edition of Packersnews (m.packersnews.com) with a selection of top stories and photos from the PC website. There's a lot of Packer lore on the site but as a mobile site it's rather uneven. About half the content is formatted for mobile but many links lead to pages on the full site that are too large to load on most phones.
