Guest column: LZ Lambeau stayed true to budget

As residents of Green Bay and members of the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board ? one of the entities that oversees Wisconsin Public Television ? we are proud of the success of LZ Lambeau.

In May, 70,000 people took part in events on the Lambeau Field grounds and throughout Green Bay. On the evening of May 22, more than 26,000 people came together to thank the state’s Vietnam veterans and pay tribute to the 1,244 service people who were killed or are missing in action.

Unfortunately, recent news reports and community conversations erroneously have reported on the LZ Lambeau budget, claiming that it resulted in a financial shortfall or deficit. This isn’t the case.
