The Packers will contribute for some of the costs of holding the game and pay $3 million to Wisconsin. In exchange, Green Bay will take game revenue. Since the contest is officially considered a Big Ten home game, Wisconsin and the conference will make some TV money, too.
In addition, UW will receive two complimentary 24-person suites and receive a minimum of 40,000 tickets from the Packers. Of those 40,000, 300 complimentary tickets will be given to the players’ families; up to 475 tickets will go to the UW Band; and 7,500 tickets will be made available for sale to students at a discounted rate of at least 40% off the lowest price general-admission ticket.
After meeting Thursday, the Board is expected to approve the deal Friday, according to Walker’s report.
