The Green Bay Packers might be acquiring more land around Lambeau Field.

A sign on the Citgo at 1922 S. Ridge Road, across the street from Lambeau Field, says the service station is closing.

Packers spokesman Aaron Popkey declined to comment on possible land purchases, but the gas station is one of four parcels the team would need to give it unbroken ownership from South Ridge Road to Marlee Lane one-half mile west. As of June, the Packers owned more than 42 acres in that stretch.

The team plans on developing land along Lombardi Avenue in much the same way it did the Cabela's outdoor sports store site at Lombardi Avenue and Argonne Street, near U.S. 41. The Packers have not provided specifics on their redevelopment plans.

"We continue to work on potential development concepts for the land which we own west of the stadium," Popkey said.

The development would be part of a long-term strategy by the team to provide it with non-football sources of income.

A real estate transaction for the property has not been filed yet with the Brown County Register of Deeds.

Press-Gazette Media reported in June that the team owned 62 parcels, mostly south and west of Lambeau Field, totaling nearly 62 acres.

The Packers have said land south of the stadium will not be developed for commercial use. It currently is used as grass parking. A portion of Barberry Lane that runs through the properties is closed to public use.
