The Green Bay Blizzard was selected as the Indoor Football League Franchise of the Year and Community Relations of the Year for 2024, becoming the first franchise to win the awards in back to back years.
The IFL Franchise of the Year is selected based on their performance on the field, dedication to improving the league, how they represent the IFL, game attendance, community involvement, marketing efforts, sales, etc. The award is highly regarded in the IFL. Last year, the Green Bay Blizzard was named the Franchise of the Year after its 20th anniversary season concluded.
In 2024, the Green Bay Blizzard had a historic season of football with a regular season record of 13-3, the best in franchise history and the best in the Eastern Conference. The team moved on to the postseason and hosted two playoff games in Green Bay, which means Blizzard fans filled the stands at home 10 times during the 2024 season. Green Bay finished with an 8-2 record when playing at the Resch Center.
By working with organizations such as Schreiber Foods, Desert Veterans of Wisconsin, Ribbon of Hope, and more, the team gives back to the Green Bay community and those in need. In addition, Blizzard players, coaches, staff, and mascots appear at many events during the year. This includes visits to many schools in and around the Green Bay area, youth football camps, farmers’ markets, local businesses, and more.
After more than 50 community appearances, 14 wins, eight theme nights, two home playoff games, a post-game laser show, a post-game concert, an indoor snowstorm, 10 Beach Ball Battles, and so much more, the Green Bay Blizzard has been named as the 2024 IFL Franchise of the Year.
