Posted December 2021

December 6, 1959:
The Canton Repository, a newspaper in Canton, Ohio, called for city officials to lobby the National Football League to create a football hall of fame in the community.

The city had played an instrumental role in creating professional football:

  • On September 17, 1920, the American Professional Football Association (APFA) formed in the city. This organization eventually became the National Football League.
  • The Canton Bulldogs was an early powerhouse in the league, and it actually was the first team to win two championships in the APFA.
Because of this history, Canton residents actively supported the city's efforts in securing the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

1961:
Canton officials formally proposed their city as site for the hall of fame

  • To help convince NFL officials to locate the hall of fame in Canton, city officials donated several acres of land on Canton's north side to the project.
  • Local residents also raised almost 400,000 dollars to help construct the hall of fame.
The NFL quickly agreed to the city's proposal.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame formally opened on September 7, 1963

Initially the museum consisted of two buildings, but in 1971, 1978, and 1995, the Pro Football Hall of Fame experienced several expansions. As of 2007, the museum consisted of five buildings, covering 83,000 square feet. Nearly 200,000 people visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame each year.

From its humble beginnings in 1963 to the present day, the Pro Football Hall of Fame has grown in both size and stature. Recognized worldwide as America's premier sports Hall of Fame, it is doubtful that even the most optimistic of those who led the drive to bring the Hall of Fame to Canton, Ohio, could have envisioned the successes it would realize.

An exhilarating museum and attraction, the Hall of Fame pays tribute to the talents and triumphs of pro football's greatest legends. Chronicled within the walls of the Hall of Fame are the stories and circumstances of play that bring to life words such as courage, dedication, vision, fair play, integrity and excellence.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame works collaboratively with the pro football family: the National Football League, the 32 NFL clubs and other entities. The cooperative efforts of all of these organizations have contributed greatly to the overall success of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In turn, the Hall strives to serve as the best historical showplace and repository for the sport of professional football.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has welcomed more than 10 million fans. Each year, visitors travel from each of the 50 states and from upward of 70 foreign countries to tour the Hall of Fame.

The Gridiron Mothership:
The heart and soul of the Pro Fooball Hall of Fame is of course the legends inducted over the years. So any trip here should start with a visit to the Hall of Fame Gallery, home to the bronze busts of all 300+ (and counting!) players, coaches and contributors who have been enshrined since the charter members were inducted in 1963.

In 2003, the Hall added interactive touch-screen kiosks for each player, which provide more information than any plaque ever could. In 2019, the Talking Bronzed Busts of John Madden and Michael Strahan debuted, powered by artificial intelligence and augmented reality, allowing guests to have a conversation with the legends' busts in real time.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is home to the most comprehensive collection of football memorabilia anywhere in the U.S. The game balls. The jerseys. The hand-written documents. The hunk of turf saved by the star player (Franco Harris) of your team's (Cleveland Browns) most bitter rivals (Pittsburgh Steelers) from one of their most famous wins (Immaculate Reception). Sigh. Go anyway. This place is awesome.

Haggar Gold Jacket
Haggar Gold Jacket
The Haggar Gold Jacket that Hall of Fame inductees receive during Enshrinement Week presented by Johnson Controls is one of the most recognizable items in the football world. When a former player, coach or contributor walk into a room wearing a Haggar Gold Jacket, everybody knows that the person wearing it is an NFL legend.

A Haggar Gold Jacket isn't just any old sport coat. Haggar is the Official Maker of the Hall of Fame Gold Jacket and the men who have one of these jackets are extraordinary. So, it makes sense that the iconic Gold Jacket is so unique!

  • Custom interior lining
  • Custom interior woven label including the enshrinee's name, class year and induction number
  • Hall of Fame crest is placed on the outer left side of the jacket
  • Made of hopsack wool
  • Features custom Pro Football Hall of Fame buttons
  • Each jacket comes in a custom box, deigned to resemble a football stadium, with an official Pro Football Hall of Fame garment bag
The iconic Jacket was intentionally chosen to be gold. The color represents that those who receive the jacket are the "gold standard" in the game of football.

Pro Football Hall of Fame

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is the hall of fame for professional American football, located in Canton, Ohio.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame:
  • Opened in 1963
  • The Hall of Fame enshrines exceptional figures in the sport of professional football including:
    • Players
    • Coaches
    • Franchise owners
    • Front-office personnel
  • As of the Class of 2020, there are a total of 346 members of the Hall of Fame

Members are referred to as "Gold Jackets" due to the distinctive gold jackets they receive during the induction ceremony

  • Between four and eight new inductees are normally enshrined every year

For the 2020 class, an additional 15 members, known as the "Centennial Slate", were inducted into the Hall of Fame to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the NFL.

  • The city of Canton successfully lobbied the NFL to have the Hall of Fame built and has cited three reasons:
    1. The NFL was founded in Canton on September 17, 1920
    2. The now-defunct Canton Bulldogs were a successful pro football team and the NFL's first repeat champion (in 1922 and 1923)
    3. The Canton community held a fundraising effort that garnered nearly $400,000 to get the Hall of Fame built
  • Groundbreaking for the building was held on August 11, 1962
  • The original building contained just two rooms, and 19,000 square feet (1,800 m2) of interior space
  • April 1970 ground was broken for the first of many expansions and was completed in May 1971. The size was increased to 34,000 square feet by adding another room. The pro shop opened with this expansion.
  • November 1977 work began on another expansion project it was completed in November 1978. Enlarging the gift shop and research library, while doubling the size of the theater. The total size of the hall was now 50,500 square feet, more than 2.5 times the original size.
  • July 1993 the Hall then announced yet another expansion and adding a fifth room it was completed in October 1995. The building's size was increased to 82,307 square feet. The most notable addition was the GameDay Stadium, which shows an NFL Films production on a 20-by-42-foot Cinemascope screen
  • 2013 the Hall of Fame completed its largest expansion and renovation to date, and now consists of 118,000 square feet
Hall of Fame Village, an estimated $900 million expansion project adjacent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has completed Phase I of construction; preparations for beginning Phase II are currently underway.

Selection process:
Enshrinees are selected by a 48-person committee, largely made up of media members, officially known as the Selection Committee. Each city that has a current NFL team sends one representative from the local media to the committee; a city with more than one franchise sends one representative for each franchise.

There are also 15 at-large delegates, including one representative from the Pro Football Writers Association. Except for the PFWA representative, who is appointed to a two-year term, all other appointments are open-ended, and terminated only by death, incapacitation, retirement, or resignation.

Eligibility:
To be eligible for the nominating process, a player or coach must have been retired for at least five years; any other contributor such as a team owner or executive can be voted in at any time.

Nomination:
Fans may nominate any player, coach or contributor by simply writing via letter or email to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Selection Committee is then polled three times by mail (once in March, once in September, and once in October) to eventually narrow the list to 25 semifinalists. In November, the committee then selects 15 finalists by mail balloting.

A Seniors and Contributors Committee, subcommittees of the overall Selection Committee, nominate Seniors (those players who completed their careers more than 25 years ago) and Contributors (individuals who made contributions to the game in areas other than playing or coaching). The Seniors Committee and Contributors Committee add one or two finalist(s) on alternating years, which makes a final ballot of 18 finalists under consideration by the full committee each year.

Voting Procedure:
The Selection Committee then meets on "Selection Saturday", the day before each Super Bowl game to elect a new class. To be elected, a finalist must receive at least 80% support from the Board. At least four, but no more than eight, candidates are elected annually.
