College Football Hall of Fame Partnering with the Pro Football Hall of Fame to Provide Reciprocal Membership Admission

Membership status of visitors to be honored at either world-class venue

ATLANTA (Oct. 25, 2024) – The College Football Hall of Fame and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, located in Canton, Ohio, have partnered to provide their members with reciprocal admission benefits. Fans with a valid membership to either of the iconic venues can gain entry into both of the world-class halls of fame.

“This collaboration with the Pro Football Hall of Fame provides unparalleled access for fans, allowing guests to connect the journeys of some of football’s greatest players from Atlanta to Canton,” said Kimberly Beaudin, President and CEO of the College Football Hall of Fame. “We look forward to welcoming Pro Football Hall of Fame members to the Capital of College Football and celebrating the enduring legacy of the sport together.”

Both venues offer several membership levels with various benefits, so the equivalent admission piece of each membership level will be honored at each location. For example, the College Football Hall of Fame’s Team Membership includes unlimited free admission annually for two individuals and up to three free guest admissions per visit, so the Pro Football Hall of Fame would offer the same for Team Membership holders who visit Canton.

“Partnering this way with the College Football Hall of Fame will allow football fans to trace the arc of their favorite players and teams from college through to the pros,” said Pro Football Hall of Fame President and CEO Jim Porter. “We’re confident this agreement will bring added appreciation of the rich history of the game and encourage visitors to see what each museum has to offer.”

Guests who plan to take advantage of the reciprocal membership will be required to present their membership cards and their government-issued photo ID to receive complimentary admission to both halls of fame.
