Yeah Green Bay has always been a very small market area which is why the club had to go public in order to survive. Rare instance of a small market team being treated as a "big market" team due to both the parity of the league and the historic status as one of the original NFL teams.
Fan-wise, they are a lot higher since they are spread out all over the US like every other old and successful NFL teams.
Every other area either is a multiple sport city, a big market (or near one), or has some tradition in football due to college.
