Appleton author Thomas Nelson is joining Bound to Happen Books at The Annex for a discussion on his new book "The Green and Gold Standard: A People's History of the Green Bay Packers ." In Green Bay, football isn’t just a game—it’s a way of life. At a moment when professional sports are defined by billionaire owners, stadium subsidies, and the growing influence of private capital, the Green Bay Packers remain a striking anomaly. The NFL’s oldest team and its winningest franchise is also the only major professional sports organization owned entirely by its fans. More than half a million shareholders around the world claim a piece of the Green and Gold, transforming a small Midwestern town into the epicenter of one of the most passionate and far-reaching fan communities in sports. The Green and Gold Standard: A People’s History of the Green Bay Packers traces how this small-market, nonprofit, publicly owned franchise became one of the most successful and widely admired teams in North America. From Curly Lambeau’s first snap under center at Hagemeister Park in 1919 to the nascent Jordan Love era, Thomas M. Nelson offers the first comprehensive account of the Packers as both a football dynasty and a civic institution. Beyond the playing field, it is the story of a fan base that bridges politics, generations, and geography—and a case study in how local values and democratic stewardship can endure in a multibillion-dollar industry. THOMAS M. NELSON Thomas Nelson is the Outagamie County Executive (Appleton-Fox Valley, Wisconsin) and former majority leader of the Wisconsin State Assembly. He has written for, or has been covered by, numerous national publications including; Washington Post, New York Times, The Nation, Politico, NBC News, Chronicle of Higher Education, NPR, The Progressive and American Prospect. Thomas writes on various historical topics with The Green and Gold Standard being his most recent published work. He is a graduate of Carleton College and the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/stevens-point/author-event-the-green-and-gold-standard-by-thomas-nelson/200030547598540 - **Event Categories**: sports, art, literary-art, football - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 23 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Stevens Point - **state**: WI - **country**: United States - **location**: 1124 Main St, Stevens Point, WI 54481-2861, United States - **lat**: 44.5236 - **long**: -89.583 - **full address**: 1124 Main St, Stevens Point, WI 54481-2861, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Author Event - The Green and Gold Standard by Thomas Nelson - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/af4100f6f010c00c76ecdb3eb4cf953711580c5782f5e6c559042a12868403f2-rimg-w1200-h630-dcc89808-gmir?v=1787390991 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Author Event - The Green and Gold Standard by Thomas Nelson being held? - **A:** Author Event - The Green and Gold Standard by Thomas Nelson takes place on Fri, 04 Sep, 2026 at 06:30 pm to Fri, 04 Sep, 2026 at 08:00 pm at 1124 Main St, Stevens Point, WI 54481-2861, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Author Event - The Green and Gold Standard by Thomas Nelson ? - **A:** Author Event - The Green and Gold Standard by Thomas Nelson is organized by Bound to Happen Books. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
