歴史
The Pro Football Hall of Fame was founded in Canton, Ohio, and opened to the public on September 7, 1963.
Canton was chosen due to its historical significance as the birthplace of the NFL in 1920 and the success of the Canton Bulldogs, early NFL champions.
The original building was modest, with only two rooms and 19,000 square feet.
It underwent several expansions in 1971, 1978, 1995, and a major renovation in 2013, growing to 118,000 square feet.
These expansions added new exhibits, a theater, and visitor amenities.
The Hall of Fame Village project began in 2016 to create a multi-use development that enhances the visitor experience with entertainment, retail, and hospitality facilities, including the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, home to the annual Hall of Fame Game.
