"Pro Football Hall of Fame" Top 5 Page for this destination Canton Things to Do Tip by kylene2005

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has drawn thousands of visitors each year since it opened in 1963. The football-shaped building is located in Canton, Ohio, about an hour's drive south of Cleveland. Canton was chosen for the site because the city was the original home of the American Professional Football Association, the forerunner of the NFL.

Everything about the Pro Football Hall of Fame is larger than life. The first thing you see when you enter is a seven-foot statue of Jim Thorpe, pro football's first big-name star. The exhibits take you through 100 year of football history. In addition to profile on the over 200 inductees, there is a dazzling display of Super Bowl rings and a "behind the scenes" film about a team preparing for game day.
