GREEN BAY, WI (Metro Source) – Retired quarterback Brett Favre is hoping his Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame induction will be held inside Lambeau Field so more fans can attend.
The Packers Hall of Fame has scheduled a July 18th ceremony inside the atrium and all 1,600 tickets have been sold to sponsors with none available to the general public.
Favre tells Fox News he hopes the Packers Hall of Fame will reconsider and give everyone the chance to attend by having the ceremony on the field.
The Packers Hall of Fame currently plans to broadcast the ceremony the next day throughout Wisconsin on stations that carry Packers preseason games.
Favre will also have his number 4 jersey retired.
The three-time NFL MVP spent 16 of his 20 seasons with the Packers and is the league’s all-time leader in passing yards with just under 18,000.
After spending one season with the New York Jets in 2008, Favre retired following the 2010 season with the Minnesota Vikings.
