Brett Favre returned Saturday to Lambeau Field, where a sold-out crowd witnessed his induction into the Packers Hall of Fame.

The event sold out in less than two hours, something Favre told reporters was extremely meaningful to him earlier on Saturday.

Favre's No. 4 is also being retired.

When Favre took the mic, he told the crowd: "I've played elsewhere. There is no place like this place. Where else can you get this many people when there's no game?"
