The History of the NFL Hall of Fame
The National Football League Hall of Fame is an American football museum and hall of fame, located at Canton, Ohio. It includes several exhibits and displays, including interactive ones, that aim to educate visitors about the history of the sport and the people who have made it great. The Hall of Fame was established in 1963 and now has over 300 inductees, with new members being added every year.
The Process for Induction into the NFL Hall of Fame
The process for induction into the National Football League Hall of Fame is a lengthy one, and usually takes several years to complete. The first step is for a player or coach to be nominated by either their team or the general public. Once nominated, a player or coach will be considered by a panel of experts who will vote on whether or not they believe the nominee is deserving of induction.
If a nominee receives at least 80% of the votes, they will be inducted into the Hall of Fame. However, if they do not receive at least 80% of the votes, they will remain on the ballot for up to five years before they are reconsidered.
The Eligibility Criteria for the NFL Hall of Fame
To be eligible for the NFL Hall of Fame, a player must have been out of the game for at least five years. He must have also played in at least one Pro Bowl. To be considered, a player’s career accomplishments and contributions to the game will be looked at, as well as his character.
