Why you should go…

Opened in 1963 in Canton, the Hall of Fame honors the players, coaches and contributors of professional football. Its centerpiece is the gallery of bronze busts, one for each inductee, and none of them refers to a specific team. A theater added in 1995 shows NFL Films productions on a 20-by-42-foot screen. A 2013 renovation brought the building to 118,000 square feet, and Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium next door hosts the annual Hall of Fame Game.
