Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium

Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium is a modern sports venue with 22,375 seats located within the larger Hall of Fame Village entertainment complex in Ohio. The facility features five open-air event terraces, wheelchair accessibility, wireless internet throughout, and multiple locker rooms each accommodating about 100 people.

The stadium was built in 1938 as part of a Works Progress Administration project that created jobs during the Great Depression. Since then, it has served for nearly nine decades as a venue for football games and major sporting events.

The stadium hosts the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Game, which marks the start of the NFL season and draws fans who come to celebrate professional football's greatest players.

The venue offers wheelchair accessibility and wireless internet throughout the grounds for visitor convenience. Arriving early allows guests to explore the surrounding Hall of Fame Village and take advantage of the multiple outdoor terraces for viewing or gathering.

The facility received a major renovation in 2014 funded by a New Orleans Saints owner, which gave it its current name and transformed the aging building. This investment brought modern amenities and infrastructure to the historic venue while preserving its role in professional football.
