(WTAQ) – The WTAQ morning guys of Matt Z and Rob Sussman get together with The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman to talk about each Packers game.
Monday’s topic was the win over the Bears – the good, the bad and the Bears still … well, you know.
Packers Hall of Fame to induct Mark Murphy:
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.
Packers coach Matt LaFleur talked about Murphy’s pending induction into the Hall of Fame.
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.
