Recognized worldwide as America’s premiersports showplace, it’s doubtful that even the mostoptimistic of those who led the drive to bring the Hallof Fame to Canton, Ohio could have envisioned thesuccesses it would realize.A truly exhilarating museum and exhibition center, theHall of Fame pays tribute to the talents and triumphsof pro football’s greatest stars. Chronicled within thewalls of the Hall of Fame are the stories and circumstancesof play that bring to life words such as courage,dedication, vision, fair play, and skill.The Pro Football Hall of Fame will welcome its ninemillionthfan during the summer of 2012. Each year,visitors travel from every state in the United States andup to 60 to 70 foreign countries tour the Hall of Fame.Today, the Hall of Fame is now available outside ofCanton through a variety of initiatives from travelingexhibits, artifacts on loan, youth and educational outreachprograms, special events, a dynamic website and through social media. In its day-to-day operation, the Pro Football Hall of Fameworks very closely with all facets of the pro football family - the National Football League, the 32 NFL clubs, and other entities. Thecooperative efforts of all of these organizations have contributed greatly to the overall success of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In turn,the Hall strives to serve as the best possible historical showplace and repository for the sport of pro football.The Hall of Fame is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit educational institution that focuses on education, promoting, preserving, and honoringthe great individuals and moments that have shaped the sport’s history.Mission Statement2012 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME INFORMATION GUIdEThe Mission of the Pro Football Hall of Fame is:To honor, preserve, educate, and promote . . .History• To honor individuals who have made outstanding contributions to professional football• To preserve professional football’s historic documents and artifacts• To educate the public regarding the origin, development and growth of professional footballas an important part of American culture• To promote the positive values of the s portThe Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton, Ohio, for three primary reasons; (1) the American Professional Football Association,later renamed the National Football League, was founded in Canton on September 17, 1920. (2) the Canton Bulldogs were an early-daypro football power, even before the days of the NFL. They were also the first two-time champion of the NFL in 1922 and 1923. Thegreat Jim Thorpe, the first big-name athlete to play pro football, played his first pro football with the Bulldogs, starting in 1915.

Groundbreaking for the original constructiontook place on August 11, 1962 and the Hall opened its doors for the first time on September 7, 1963. Four expansions occurred (1971,1978, 1995, and the current “Future 50” Expansion & Renovation Project) over the years that have resulted in the museum growingfrom its original 19,000 square feet to today’s 117,000-square-foot football facility.On April 24, 2006, Steve Perry was named the Hall of Fame’s fifth chief executive. He has had an extensive career in management oflarge private sector and public sector organizations.

Included on this list are first-time eligible candidateswho have strong enough credentials to give them even a remotechance of eventual Hall of Fame election. Also included are allother eligible candidates nominated by any person. Additionally,those modern-era nominees from the previous year’s final preliminarylist who received at least four votes in the balloting todetermine the modern-era finalists are automatically included onthis preliminary list.The Second Preliminary List is sent to the selectors during themonth of September that includes all the nominees named onthe earlier list plus any additional nominations received from anysource since the first list was compiled.The Third Preliminary List of eligible candidates is sent to theBoard of Selectors during the month of October for the purposeof the selection of the modern Era semifinalists for election.From the Third Preliminary List the Selection Committee is askedto vote for 25 modern Era Semifinalists.The Final Preliminary List of 25 modern-era candidates will bedistributed to the Selection Committee during the month ofNovember for the purpose of the selection of 15 modern EraNominees.

Selection Process2012 PrO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAmE INFOrmATION GuIdEAlthough the Senior Nominees will be presented to the fullSelection Committee as two of the 17 finalists, their election tothe Hall of Fame is not automatic. The Senior Nominees mustreceive the same minimum 80% of the vote as a modern Era candidateto be elected.Is a New Hall of Fame member Enshrinedas a member of a Team?Obviously, teams take great pride in the accomplishments ofindividuals who have been a part of their organization. Often individualteams and even the Hall of Fame will list enshrineesaccording to the team or teams on which they spent a significantperiod of time. An enshrinee, however, is not asked to “declare,”nor does the Hall of Fame “choose” a team under which a newmember is enshrined. When elected to the Pro Football Hall ofFame, an individual is recognized for his accomplishments as aplayer, coach, or contributor.E l i g i b i l i t y C h a r tA player or coach must not have played or coached for five full seasons before he is eligiblefor election to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The chart below can be used as a quickreference to determine when a player or coach will be, was, or is first eligible for the Hallof Fame. For instance, 2012 inductee Dermontti Dawson last played in 2000. Therefore,he was first eligible for the Class of 2006. Counting upward from 2006, one can determinethat he was elected in his seventh year of eligibility.First Year of Eligibility (Class Year)Last Season Played2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20162021 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20152020 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20142019 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20132018 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20122017 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20112016 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20102015 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20092014 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20082013 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20072012 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20062011 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20052010 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20042009 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20032008 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20022007 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20012006 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .20002005 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19992004 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19982003 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19972002 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19962001 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19952000 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19941999 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19931998 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19921997 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19911996 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19901995 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19891994 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19881993 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19871992 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .19861991 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1985S E n i o r n o m i n E E SSenior nomineesTo assure that older players will be considered along with the modern-era players, aSeniors Committee, made up of nine veteran members of the overall Hall of Fame Boardof Selectors has been established to consider nominees whose active career has been completed25 years or more from the current NFL season.Like the full Committee, the members of the Seniors Committee are provided a preliminarylist of eligible nominees.

Of all the things I've done in football, and therehave been a lot, there's one thing that I really, really regretted. Many times I've seen athletes, college, professional,often look into a television and say, ‘Hi, mom.’ I always thought that was special and always somethingI'd want to do but couldn't. So I take this time right here, right now in Canton, Ohio, at the Pro Football Hall ofFame to say, ‘Hi, mom.’ Thank you for the ultimate sacrifice. This day belongs to you, for it was written. I wantto thank you all for enjoying the best day of my life.” - Charlie Sanders, 2007“This is the icing on the cake for me, and I take it veryseriously. And I'm extremely honored to now be includedwith this group of elite athletes. . .I will wear the bannerwith pride.

The main reason is that it’s nearly year-round and has several stages in the vetting process to get to thenew class of enshrinees. The final step, of course, is the face-to-face meeting that our Selection Committee engages in on the day before theSuper Bowl.This is the time of year that the process is under heavy scrutiny. That’s mostly due to the fact that there are many unhappy fans and dissatisfiedmembers of the media who are disappointed that “their” candidate didn’t get elected. Not surprisingly, our Selection Committee comes underattack. I can assure you, being much closer to the process than most, that our committee is comprised of some of the most dedicated individualsin the industry. In addition, our selectors represent a tremendous amount of knowledge gained from years and years of covering the NFL. Theamount of preparation that is put into selecting a new class of Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinees would probably surprise many of you. Ourselectors study each candidate thoroughly. It is also very common for most of them to solicit evaluations and opinions from a wide cross-sectionof the football world ranging from personnel people, scouts, other players, coaches and so on.Now on to the real topic of this week’s blog. No one can argue that the six-man Class of 2012 – Jack Butler, Dermontti Dawson, Chris Doleman,Cortez Kennedy, Curtis Martin, and Willie Roaf – are not deserving of the honor bestowed them last Saturday. I offer my congratulations to agreat new class of enshrinees. Furthermore, no one can argue that the great players, coach, and owner who did not make the cut, do notdeserve it either. All 17 finalists for this year’s class have left their mark on the NFL. Unfortunately, this is the tough part of the process as we seefinalists not elected.Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Fouts was one of the hosts of our Announcement Show on NFL Network from the Super Bowl Media Center inIndianapolis. He made a very poignant remark about those who did not make the cutdown.“Do not get disappointed. Do not give up,” is the advice he gave to Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Cris Carter, Edward DeBartolo, Jr., Kevin Greene,Charles Haley, Bill Parcells, Andre Reed, Will Shields, Dick Stanfel, and Aeneas Williams.Fouts is right. The fact is that once someone “gets in the room” (i.e. – becomes a finalist and therefore is openly and thoroughly discussed andevaluated during the annual meeting), the odds of making the Hall of Fame are heavily in their favor.Here are the hard, cold facts. Since 1970, when the Hall of Fame selection process began cutting down to a group of finalists, there are been atotal of 258 players, coaches, and contributors who have been finalists. The vast majority, 214, ultimately were elected to the Hall of Fame.That means 83% of all finalists eventually are enshrined into the Hall. There’s even better news for most of this year’s finalists whodidn’t make it. The percentage jumps to 89% for those who are finalists more than once.So, yes, there’s much disappointment for many after last Saturday’s vote but the truth is that it really becomes an issue of “when” not “if.”2012 PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME INFORMATION GUIDEProfootballhof.com- 113 -

Since 2007, the selection process includes a cutdown of the 15 modern-era finalists during the annual selection meetingseparate of the two senior nominees. The Selection Committee first pares the list from 15 to 10; then 10 to 5. At that point, a yes or no vote is tabulated of the final five finalists.An individual is elected to the Hall of Fame if he receives at least 80 percent affirmative vote.

NFL/Hall of Fame Game- 135 -


NFL/Hall of Fame GameThe NFL/Hall of Fame Game series began in 1962, one year before the museum opened. A National Football League preseason gamehas been played at Fawcett Stadium each year but one since that inaugural game. No game was played in 1966 as the preseasonschedule was not set in time to include Canton for a neutral site game.Beginning in 1971, following the AFL-NFL merger, an AFC vs. NFC format was adopted for the Hall of Fame series. Preset scheduleswere created that called for each team to make a visit to Canton over 14- and 15-year periods through 1994. In 1995, the NFL selectedthe Hall of Fame Game to showcase the debut of the league’s newest expansion teams – the Carolina Panthers and JacksonvilleJaguars. Since that time, the NFL designates the teams for the Hall of Fame Game on a season-by-season basis. The game normallyincludes teams with significant milestones (such as the return of the Cleveland Browns in 1999 and the Houston Texans inaugural gamein 2002) or a connection to the Hall’s most recent class.In 2006, the Hall of Fame Game returned to Sunday. The Hall of Fame games were played on Sunday afternoons from 1963 to 1965.The inaugural game and those played from 1967 through 1997 were played on Saturday afternoons. Then, in 1998, the Hall of Famegame was switched to primetime with kickoff moved to Saturday evening. One year later, the game moved to Monday night.The NFL/Hall of Fame Game was televised nationally by ABC from 1971-2005. The game was broadcast by NBC since 2006 with theexception of 2007, when the game aired on NFL Network. The 2012 game will be broadcast by NFL Network.Pro Football Hall of Fame F ield at Fawcett StadiumThe annual enshrinement ceremony and the ProFootball Hall of Fame Game is played in Pro FootballHall of Fame Field at Fawcett Stadium, located directlyacross the street from the Hall of Fame.Capacity: 22,364 • Surface: FieldTurfWho's Fawcet t?John A.
