All Signs Point to August
It’s only March, but the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s campus is starting to shape up for Enshrinement week in August. A giant Class of 2016 banner was hung on the Hall’s front walls yesterday. The mural features head shots of the eight members of the newest class – owner Edward DeBartolo, Jr., coach Tony Dungy, quarterback Brett Favre, linebacker/defensive end Kevin Greene, wide receiver Marvin Harrison, tackle Orlando Pace, quarterback Ken Stabler, and guard Dick Stanfel.
Members of the Class couldn’t help but notice it on the Hall's social media accounts and immediately shared their excitement to see their face on the banner that millions of fans visiting Canton will view.
It's very surreal to see Hall of Fame banners with my face going up in Canton
