It was held in the Lambeau Field Atrium with comments made by Mark Murphy, Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, and Driver. It was sold out in 14 minutes and hundreds of fans were in attendance. The mayor of Green Bay presented Driver with a key to the city and announced that the receiver statue that previously resided in front of the former Packers Hall of Fame and is now in downtown Green Bay would be refurbished, with the receiver wearing a No. 80 Driver jersey. The street leading to the statue was also renamed "Donald Driver Way."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-1/Donald-Driver-others-share-memories-of-great-career/5c15f70c-6062-421c-b6d0-9963d44b3649|title=Donald Driver, others share memories of great career|access-date=November 30, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170903031036/http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-1/Donald-Driver-others-share-memories-of-great-career/5c15f70c-6062-421c-b6d0-9963d44b3649|archive-date=September 3, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> On July 22, 2017, Driver was inducted into the [[Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame]].<ref name="i797">{{cite web | title=Donald Driver, Mark Lee inducted into Packers Hall of Fame | publisher=FOX Sports | date=2017-07-22 | url=https://www.foxsports.com/stories/other/donald-driver-mark-lee-inducted-into-packers-hall-of-fame | access-date=2025-03-09}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.packers.com/history/hof/donald-driver | title = Donald Driver | last = Christl | first = Cliff | author-link = Cliff Christl | website = Packers.com | access-date = September 20, 2023 | archive-date = May 23, 2023 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230523020207/https://www.packers.com/history/hof/donald-driver | url-status = live }}</ref>
