I'm guessing putting the team in the maritimes and quebec would do better than expected.

Green Bay isn't a profit generator. They only make ends meet through revenue sharing. Selling out eight home games a year wouldn't come close to meeting payroll, let alone stadium maintenance costs. Without the shared national TV deal the NFL has, many NFL teams would go under. Just look at major league baseball. How many times do teams like Kansas City, Milwaukee or Seattle win the World Series?
