Pro Football Hall of Fame
The Pro Football Hall of Fame is a state of the art facility that celebrates the careers of those who have been instrumental architects and legendary players in professional football. The facility is located in Canton, OH on 2121 George Halas Drive, named after the renowned “Papa Bear” and pioneer of the professional football in the United States. The Hall of Fame is based out of Canton because of its designation as the birthplace of American Football in 1920. The Hall was established in 1963 and has faced many renovations over the years, including recent renovations to add a theater and additional buildings for exhibits.
Features of the Hall of Fame include rotating exhibits which showcase memorabilia from pro football’s past and present, “The Hall” which is the centerpiece of the building, and Gameday Stadium Theater. The Hall is the main hub of the Hall of Fame and features the busts of each Hall of Fame member; the section offers a glimpse into some of the league’s greatest stars and personalities. The Gameday Stadium is a theater which houses 42 foot screen that broadcasts historic video from past football games.
The entire Hall of Fame building is 82,307 square feet, and the exterior features a full football stadium. Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, formerly Fawcett Stadium, is the exterior stadium outside of the Hall of Fame. The stadium plays host to both the Enshrinement Ceremony and Hall of Fame Game. The stadium is named after New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson who has contributed to the renovation of the stadium. Outside of the Hall of Fame Enshrinement Weekend, Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium plays host to local area high school and college football teams.
