TRAARVTEL MORE THAN JUST FOOTBALL Green Bay, Wisconsin By Margaret Word Burnside and Aaron R. Fodiman Photography by Gram and Noraa NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2016 | TAMPA BAY MAGAZINE 157 A trip to Green Bay is not complete without trying some locally crafted beers and wines. The name Green Bay will probably always be associated with the National Football League’s most winning team, the “Packers.” After all, Green Bay is the smallest city in the United States to host an NFL team, as well as the only one now owned by its fans. Although the football team dates back to 1919, the city of Green Bay began long before that, when fur traders settled there in the 1600s. Green Bay is located at the end of the Fox River, which flows north and empties into Creed Bay that leads to Lake Michigan. The United States Government had built Fort Howard there by 1816. The town began to grow, due to its natural resources and waterways. It became the center of paper milling and is even the place where splinterless toilet paper was developed. During the summer, over 30,000 annuals and 200 different kinds of roses are on display in the tranquil setting of the Green Bay Botanical Garden. ��
