Pro Football Hall of Fame

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is the "Ballhalla" of the National Football League, where its most glorious warriors, coaches, and officials are enshrined after honorably departing the field of battle. Upon entering the museum, pigskin disciples are greeted (though not animatronically) by a larger-than-life statue of celebrated athlete Jim Thorpe, followed by an exhibit chronicling the early years of pro football, when ragtag teams played to meager crowds with little protection. As you push your way upfield with a series of running plays and hard tackles, you'll find yourself surrounded by walls of glittering heads in the Hall of Fame Gallery, where each Hall of Fame member is immortalized with a bronze bust that eerily chants Super Bowl predictions every solstice at the stroke of midnight. The polish is still gleaming on the busts of Emmitt Smith and Jerry Rice, who just this year joined the storied ranks of legends like Jim Brown and Johnny Unitas. Other exhibits include the Lamar Hunt Super Bowl Gallery, where the most sovereign of football games is given proper retrospection through the display of authentic, recognizable jerseys and footballs from the most momentous plays.
