GREEN BAY (WLUK) — The Green and Gold are full speed ahead as they look to punch their ticket to the postseason against the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football at Lambeau Field.

But tonight’s game is about more than just watching the Packers play for a playoff spot. Fans will also see a special tribute to one of the organization’s long-standing and influential leaders – a man responsible for some of the team’s successes on and off the field and for the good it does in the community.

Packers president and CEO Mark Murphy will retire in July 2025, meaning this season will be his last with the team. To honor his legacy, the Packers will host a ceremony during halftime of Monday’s game.

In addition, he is featured on the cover of the game program, his face will appear on the coin used for the pregame coin toss, and the Packers Pro Shop is selling a special commemorative pin in Murphy’s honor.

FOX 11 spoke with fans who are sad to see Murphy go. He has been President/CEO since 2008.

“Under Mark’s leadership, we were the NFL’s winningest organization in the smallest city. “Yeah, we didn’t win as many Super Bowls as we wanted to, but man, the Packer family keeps growing,” Entwalden’s Steve Tate said.

Jon Hufford of Indianapolis added: “It’s a shame that Mark has to step down because he led us too much. He’s had some great draft picks, he’s done a couple of saves for us in free agency since (general manager Brian Gutekunst) came in.” “Having to step away after 13 years is a good job, but also kind of scary for the future.”

Ed Policy, the team’s chief operating officer and general counsel, will succeed Murphy.

The Packers made 12 playoff trips during Murphy’s time as president/CEO. He was instrumental in stadium expansions and renovations to improve the fan experience at Lambeau and also helped build the Titletown campus. Murphy has also worked to increase the number of outside events using Lambeau Field, including concerts, college football, soccer games and the NFL Draft in 2025.
