Or, more accurately, that’s the game in which they’ll unveil Favre’s name on the inner facade of Lambeau Field next to those of Bart Starr, Reggie White, Don Hutson, Ray Nitschke and Tony Canadeo — the five other Packers to have their numbers retired.
The number will technically be retired when Favre is inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame on July 18. Of course, only corporate sponsors will actually be able to get a first-person glimpse of Favre on that evening. The game is an opportunity for actual fans to be a part of a Brett Favre event.
