As part of the Hall of Fame’s continuous effort to make the guest experience the best it

Kicking off the celebration will be the annual Hall of Fame Game that, for the first time
ever, will be played on a Thursday night. The preseason classic is scheduled for
Thursday, August 3, 2017 in the new Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.
The following night, members of the Class of 2017 will be presented their Hall of Fame
Gold Jackets during the nationally televised Enshrinees’ Gold Jacket Dinner held at the
Canton Memorial Civic Center.
Then on Saturday, August 5, in Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, the Class of 2017
will be formally enshrined into the Hall of Fame during the nationally televised

Enshrinement Ceremony. More than 120 returning Hall of Famers are expected to be on
stage to welcome the newest members to the Hall of Fame fraternity.
The multi-day festivities wrap up with two exciting events on Sunday, August 6. The
first is the Enshrinees’ Roundtable, an afternoon event held in the Canton Memorial
Civic Center. The Roundtable is an unscripted up-close-and-personal discussion with
Hall of Famers. Then, later that evening, the annual Concert for Legends will be held in
Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. The concert will once again feature a nationallyknown recording act that will be announced soon.
