The Hall of Fame, also voted the Top Tourist Attraction in Ohio through a fan poll in
May 2015, attracts guests from across the United States and the world. Regarded as
“The Most Inspiring Place on Earth!” the Hall of Fame represents its sport in many
entertaining ways. The Hall continually enhances its exhibits to provide guests with an

“We thank fans throughout the country for recognizing our institution as the Best

football field but also the values and life lessons this Game teaches.”
