Kramer and filmmaker Michael Merideth, son of former Cowboys quarterback Don Merideth, talked about the Ice Bowl and events leading up to Super Bowl II in front of a room of fans.

Afterwards, Favre and Young took the stage for the Bart Starr Chalk Talk, discussing their NFL careers and this year's Green Bay Packers team. The event was emceed by Bart Starr, Jr.

Favre reflected on how he'd feel about suiting up for a game now.

"I thought about it today," he explained. "We got off the plane, we're coming over and I said 'I wonder if I can complete just one pass.'"

"I'm sure you could," Young replied.

The event featured a special tribute to the 50th anniversary of Super Bowl II.

The majority of the proceeds went to charities important to Bart and Cherry Starr through their foundation.
