While the team's performance contributed to the strong financial results, Murphy said the team benefited from the fact that labor issues were resolved just before last season's training camps began - meaning fans didn't miss anything.
The Packers are reinvesting profits into the stadium and other efforts, Murphy said. He mentioned the ongoing $143 million expansion to Lambeau Field that includes a new sound system, two high-definition video boards, new entrances and about 7,000 news seats in time for the 2013 season.
He said the team is also working to engage fans through its website and social media.
"You're not going have years like this every year, but we just want to be a consistent organization that performs well on and off the field," he said. "... We couldn't have been more pleased with the way fans supported us."
