No doubt Milwaukee helps Green Bay but so does the upper Peninsula of Michigan.

People in Milwaukee do not support the Bears, insinuating that will get you in a fight. And the UP, really? It's a sparsely populated area that would have very little impact on attendance in Green Bay.
It's funny how people always want to point at Green Bay as if it's a comparable example. There are virtually no parallels beyond the population of the immediate area. The economics of the league, the structure of the schedule, the surrounding area etc. etc. etc. are all completely different. But yes, let's point at Green bay and pretend we have made an argument.
