The Lambeau Field Atrium is not big enough for all the Packers fans who want to cheer on Brett Favre when he has his number retired this summer.
After the 1,600 tickets for the ceremony at the Atrium quickly sold out, the Packers have announced that fans can also sit inside the bowl at the stadium and watch the Favre jersey retirement ceremony on the big screen. Those tickets will cost $4, with proceeds going to Favre’s foundation.
Favre said this month that he was hoping the ceremony would take place in the stadium so that as many fans as possible could see it. That won’t happen -- the tickets for the more intimate Atrium event are already sold -- but this ensures that tens of thousands of fans can be there at Lambeau for the event.
The ceremony, which takes place on Saturday, July 18, will also be shown on NFL Network and streamed at Packers.com.
