Over 100 HOFers are scheduled to be on hand, marking the largest gathering ever of Pro Football HOFers outside of Canton. Jim Brown, Joe Namath, Barry Sanders, Lynn Swann, Terry Bradshaw, Marshall Faulk, Warren Sapp and Franco Harris are expected to be on hand. Pro Football HOF Enterprises President & CEO George Veras said, “We hope to grow it like a Comic-Con for NFL fans and we plan to nationally tour this show as an annual event.”

A general admission pass is $39.99 per show ($19.99 for ages 7-12, six and under free), with two shows held each day. A two-day adult pass costs $129.99. Attractions will include Bradshaw performing his one man show, “America’s Favorite Dumb Blond,” Larry King hosting talks with HOFers and football clinics conducted by the HOFers. To attend Bradshaw’s show requires an additional $70, while autograph sessions are $300 per session. The event is sponsored by Powerball and Dave & Busters, with NFL Network serving as Media Partner.
