Professional Football Researchers Association Forum

I have a question for everyone who posts here how did you get interested in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the first place

I am sure many in this association have visited the PFHOF at some point Andy ... its a great place to visit and carries the local community. For me though, its about recognizing the greatest players and coaches in NFL history. Especially generational players that fans, media and observers have seen at stadiums and on television for themselves.

Despite its late start as a professional HOF, its done a great job, though many feel it allows too many members. Considering all the players that have played in the NFL though, its still well under 3 percent that get the distinction of election.

My only visit was the PFRA convention in 2021. I had on my list for a while and when it was announced that convention would be there, my wife insisted that I couldn’t miss the opportunity (as she had for the Green Bay convention in ‘16).

I could not imagine a better way to experience the PFHoF than with all y’all knuckleheads. It was pretty special.
