Green Bay is the county seat of Brown County in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. The city is located at the head of the Bay of Green Bay and the mouth of the Fox River, at an altitude of 581 feet (177 m). It is 112 miles (180 km) north of Milwaukee. According to the 2004 census estimate, Green Bay has a population of 101,100. The Town of Green Bay is located several miles northeast of the city.
The city of Green Bay is a port on the Bay of Green Bay, an arm of Lake Michigan. Green Bay is home to the National Railroad Museum, the Neville Public Museum with exhibitions of art, history, and science, and to the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
The Green Bay Packers professional football team has been based in the city since 1919. Green Bay is by far the smallest city to have an NFL franchise, with the arguable exception of Foxboro, Massachusetts, home of the New England Patriots. (Foxboro is about equidistant between Boston and Providence and qualifies as an outer suburb of Boston. Several other NFL teams also play in the suburbs of their home cities.)
Green Bay is by far the smallest US market to have a major league team of any kind, although the Packers' fanbase stretches across the state of Wisconsin and beyond. Green Bay is nicknamed "Titletown, USA" for the number of NFL titles (12) it has won over the years. An af2 arena football franchise, the Green Bay Blizzard, was recently awarded to the city.
Together with surrounding communities, the Green Bay metropolitan area was, according to the 2000 census, home to 195,099 people. The city forms the core of the United States Census Bureau's Green Bay Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes all of Brown County (2004 population: 237,166).
