GREEN BAY-- A frigid cold snap wasn't enough to keep hundreds of fans from lining up for 1,000 tickets to see Donald Driver's retirement ceremony in person. Fans wore several layers under their coats and used blankets to try and keep warm. 

Hailey Marks of Oshkosh was the first in line, arriving at Lambeau around 2:30a.m. "There were people in their cars, like 5 cars, but I put out my chairs right away so and then everybody started to line up. I wanted to make sure that I could see him on Wednesday," Marks said.

For fans who've watched Donald Driver in green and gold for 14 years, having a public ceremony means the world to them.
