Titletown avoided programming events this winter while the Packers learned the ebb and flow of the parkTITLETOWN
The Packers are "pleased with the first winter season at the Titletown District" near Lambeau Field and estimate "more than 60,000 people used the park from late November to mid-March," according to Richard Ryman of the GREEN BAY PRESS-GAZETTE. The number has "no context now, being the first time the park was used, but it sets the baseline for following seasons." The Packers "opened the Titletown District skating pond on Nov. 30 and Airens Hill snow-tubing began on Dec. 21." Titletown District is a "nearly 45-acre development," and its 10-acre park/plaza features an "activity strip that includes areas for horseshoes, shuffleboard, bocce, table tennis, bean-bag toss and other activities; playgrounds for three age groups; a 40-yard dash course with a timer; the snow-tubing hill and ice-skating pond and trail, and full-sized football field." The Packers "avoided programming events this winter while they learned the ebb and flow of the park." That likely will change next winter, as it "certainly will this summer, when there will be daily events." The team acknowledged that "prices for tubing, in particular, were a complaint that seemed to most often come up." They did tweak those prices "throughout the season." Titletown District Program & Events Manager Jackie Krutz said that community days, which "offered large discounts, proved popular." Titletown is "shifting into its spring/summer programming now" (GREEN BAY PRESS GAZETTE, 3/31).
