"I've always wanted to go to the Hall of Fame."
- Tom Alvarez, contest winner commenting on his first visit to the "mecca" of pro football in August.

Alvarez, who loves the history of pro football, has decided to bring his father with him. It was his dad who took Tom to his first NFL game, a Raiders-Chargers game in the 1980s.

Visitors who logged onto www.profootballhof.com from June 6-July 11, 2002, were invited to test their football knowledge. A new round of five questions was posted on the site twice a week throughout the duration of the contest. A contestant's name was put in the grand prize drawing once for every correct answer. Alvarez increased his odds by correctly answering every question in all 10 rounds. He is just one of two people who took part in the contest to answer all 50 questions right.
