Weather cuts HOF game short

General Published on : 8/4/2003


 

Morten Andersen kicked two fields including this 32-yarder in the first quarter.

Weather brought a premature end to a game for the second time in the history of the Hall of Fame Game series.  Oddly enough, the Packers played in both the 0-0 tie against the San Diego Chargers in 1980, and Monday's 9-0 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The shortened game marked the end of NFL Homecoming Weekend which was highlighted by the record number of Hall of Famers who returned to Canton to take part in the festivities that surrounded the enshrinement of the Class of 2003.

On Sunday, the five newest members of the Hall - Marcus Allen, Elvin Bethea, Joe DeLamielleure, James Lofton, and Hank Stram were inducted into the Hall of Fame during ceremonies held at Pro Football Hall of Fame Field at Fawcett Stadium.
