New Arrivals
New artifacts from the 2011 NFL season are finding a permanent home at the Hall of Fame, including mementos from New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees
(below).
Brees connected on a 9-yard touchdown pass to running back Darren Sproles with just under three minutes to play that pushed his passing yardage total for the season to 5,087 which broke the record held by Hall of Famer Dan Marino since 1984. Marino became the first quarterback in NFL history to eclipse 5,000 yards when he had 5,084 yards passing for the Dolphins that season.

Future 50 Project
Plans for a major expansion and renovation of the Pro Football Hall of Fame were announced in December 2010 by the Hall of Fame’s Board of Trustees. The expansion and renovation project, the largest in the Hall of Fame’s history, will enable the museum to better preserve and present its ever-growing collection of historical artifacts and documents. It will also provide major enhancements to the visitor experience and accommodate the growing number of Hall of Fame guests, especially during the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinement Festival.
The planning, design and construction will take nearly two years and will cost $27 million. The project has been dubbed the Future 50 Project because its completion, scheduled for 2013, will coincide with the Hall of Fame’s 50th Anniversary and constitute the foundation for success in the next 50 years.
