The Green Bay Packers postseason will be an additional money maker for Northeast Wisconsin, including Door County. Studies show that each Packers home game generates about $15-million for the region's economy. Jon Jarosh, Communications Director for the Door County Visitor Bureau, says Door County businesses see the benefits of home regular season and playoff appearances.
The Packers playoff game is tentatively set for the weekend of January 11th. Jarosh says with final playoff matches unknown until after the final regular-season games it's difficult for tourism businesses in Door County to offer any promotions on short notice. He adds some fans make it a point to take in the game and a visit to Door County.
