Packers announce additional viewing opportunities for Favre jersey retirement

Green Bay fans will now be able to watch Brett Favre's induction into the Packers Hall of Fame and jersey retirement on the big screen at Lambeau Field.

The Packers announced Friday that they will be broadcasting the July 18 ceremony live on the video boards and will be bringing Favre out to address the crowd. Tickets will cost $4 each, with net proceeds going to Favre 4 Hope.

Favre's jersey will be unveiled inside Lambeau Field at a 2015 game yet to be determined.

An estimated 1,600 people are expected to attend the 45th Hall of Fame induction banquet, which sold out before tickets could be offered to the public due to high interest from sponsors. Favre recently expressed disappointment over the ceremony being held at the atrium and not inside the stadium.

The induction ceremony will also be shown live on NFL Network and streamed at Packers.com. Tickets go on sale May 12 at 10 a.m. and will be available through Ticketmaster.
