On July 18th 2015, Brett Favre returned to Lambeau Field to have his number retired in the Lambeau Field Atrium. Upon walking out of the tunnel for the first time in five years, Favre was greeted to 65,000 ecstatic Packers fans and a five minute long standing ovation which left him in tears before even having a chance to speak. He had returned to where it all began. To the home of the team he won a Super Bowl with. To where he won three consecutive Most Valuable Player Awards. To where he broke countless records, including his Iron Man 297 consecutive starts (321 including post-season). It was the perfect closure to years of uncertainty regarding the relationship between Favre and the Packers organization and its fans. Through all the questions that had come about after Favres departure from the Packers and his subsequent stints with the Jets and Vikings, the most important question had been answered. Brett was home.
