True, but the Packer fan base covers the entire country. States/cities that don't have teams have a lot of Packer fans. My company has events in Green Bay every home game weekend and it's amazing how many people fly in from around the country just to see a game at Lambeau. Obviously Bears fans hate the Packers but you have to admit it's a unique thing to have an NFL team in such a small city, something that will never been seen again, in any major sport.
It's true that the Packers have a lot of fans spread throughout the country. But seeing a game at Lambeau is the equivelant of seeing a game at Wrigley except it's more exclusive due to the supply of only 8 games a year. Even being a Bears fan, and having gone to college just outside GB, I would always jump at the chance to go see games there. That doesn't necessarily equate to there being more Packer fans, though.
I equate it more to older generations and the success the Packers had years ago.
