Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. to induct team President/CEO Mark Murphy

Posted

The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. will induct Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy at the 54th  Hall of Fame Induction Banquet, announced today by Packers Hall of Fame Inc. President Don Sipes. The  banquet is scheduled to be held Thursday, Aug. 28, 2025, in the Lambeau Field Atrium.  

Information about tickets for the banquet, which begins with a cash bar at 4 p.m., with the dinner and  program to start at 5:30 p.m., is still being finalized and will be released in the near future.  

Packers President/CEO Mark Murphy is currently in his 17th and final season as Packers President and CEO.  

During his time as President and CEO, Murphy has overseen tremendous growth for the organization and led  the team through numerous milestones. Under his leadership, the Packers have continued to rank as one of  the NFL’s premier franchises, with highly successful operations both on and off the field. The club has made  12 playoff trips during his tenure, including a team-record eight straight (2009 to 2016), advanced to five NFC  title games and earned a victory in Super Bowl XLV.  

Murphy has also directed the organization’s master plan involving the Lambeau Field campus, with the  organization investing more than $600 million in Lambeau Field, all financed without public tax money. He  has prioritized enhancing the fan experience through stadium additions and renovations, while also ensuring  the player and coach facilities remain at the top of the NFL. Murphy led the creation of Titletown, a vibrant,  45-acre development that opened in 2017 and has become a destination for visitors and residents alike.  Titletown offers public, year-round programming, as well as residences; food, beverage, entertainment and  hospitality offerings; and TitletownTech, a joint venture between the Packers and Microsoft aimed at driving  economic growth and job creation through technology and digital innovation. Murphy has also worked to  increase the number of outside events utilizing Lambeau Field, including concerts, college football, soccer  matches and the NFL Draft in 2025.  

His time with the Packers has complemented his prior career achievements, including an eight-year playing  career with the Washington Redskins, time spent as assistant executive director of the NFL Players  Association and trial attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice, and a combined 16 years as director of  athletics at Colgate University and Northwestern University. Murphy is believed to be the first person in NFL  history to achieve a Super Bowl win as a player (XVII, 1982) and as a CEO (XLV, 2010).  

Murphy, who will be the 171st individual inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame, will formally retire in July  2025 when he turns 70, the mandatory retirement age for the position as required by organizational by-laws.  While former players must be retired for at least four seasons before they are eligible for induction, other  contributors are eligible for induction at any time. Murphy’s induction will come just one month after he  formally completes his duties as Packers President/CEO.  

The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame Inc. is a nonprofit corporation independent of the Green Bay Packers  that guides the Hall as a historic national sports venue and educational resource to the Green Bay community  and the state of Wisconsin. The Hall raises funds through its annual induction banquet, Golf Classic and other  events to preserve the history of the Green Bay Packers and expand its archives. Historic memorabilia  donated by individuals to the Hall may qualify as tax-deductible gifts.  

Originally established in 1967 as a temporary display in the concourse of the Brown County Veterans  Memorial Arena, the Packers Hall of Fame moved into its own facility in 1976 near Lambeau Field. In 2003,  it was relocated to the lower level of the Lambeau Field Atrium. After renovations beginning in 2013, it  reopened in August of 2015, and is now located on the main floor of the Atrium across from 1919 Kitchen &  Tap.
