It looks like season ticket holders only get tickets for 6 of the regular season home games. One of the pre-season games along with the second and fifth regular season home games are sold to a separate list of fans who apparently live in the greater Milwaukee metropolitan area.

That seems to me like it is pretty far. I guess it does depend a bit on the circumstances but Orlando and Tampa are 85 miles and 1.5 hours apart. The farthest in my "sort of cities" is San Jose, I think, which is 40 miles from Oakland and 48 miles from San Francisco and definitely within the same metropolitan area.

I've heard that season tickets for the Packers are split evenly between Green Bay residents and Milwaukee residents.
