Default Re: Effectiveness of spread a petition to get Pats v. Giants on TV?

The above is the map of the Wisconsin area getting the game.

From WIKI...An exception to the 75-mile rule is the market area for the Green Bay Packers, which stretches out to both the Green Bay and Milwaukee television markets (the team's radio flagship station is in Milwaukee, and two Packer home games a year were played at Milwaukee County Stadium until 1994). However, blackout rules rarely come into effect for the Packers, due to a four-decade long streak of sellouts and a decades-long season ticket waiting list.


Edit: I believe Milw gets the best of both worlds. I believe they get to be GB local for NFLN purposes, but for gamedays they are not subject to the "Can't show a 2nd game at the same time as a home game" rule that other home markets are a part of.
