MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – If you want to see Brett Favre scramble one more time, you’ll get your chance this summer in Madison.
Promoters Wednesday announced details for the “Legends Game,” a flag football game featuring the incoming Packers’ Hall of Famer and other former NFL players.
It will played at Camp Randall Stadium on Sunday July 19th at 4 p.m. It’s the day after Favre will be inducted into the Hall of Fame and have his green and gold Number 4 retired.
An expected full house at Lambeau Field will watch the banquet on the big Tundra Vision screens.
Tickets for the Legends Game go on sale June 3rd. Part of the proceeds will benefit the quarterback’s “Favre 4 Hope Foundation.”
Favre said the flag football game would cap off a big weekend for him. He said it would be an understatement to call it a “whirlwind.”
Former Badger Ron Dayne is scheduled to play in the game along with ex-Packers Mark Chmura, Frank Winters, Andre Rison, and Javon Walker. NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb is expected to compete against Favre’s ex-Packers — along with running back Roger Craig and receivers Willie Gault, Anthony Carter, and Herman Moore.
