Did we expect anything less? Starr was the class of the Packers' organization during and after his playing days, so it's only fitting the team did something of this stature to keep him in the hearts and minds of fans.
Aside from that, the Packers will also award a $250,000 impact grant to the Bart and Cherry Starr Foundation during the team's home opener in addition to a halftime ceremony honoring Starr, which will feature Packers alumni.
