2008 HOF Game tickets on sale now!

The Pro Football Hall of Fame has announced that a very limited number of sideline and end zone tickets for the 2008 Pro Football Hall of Fame Game featuring the Washington Redskins and Indianapolis Colts will be made available for sale to the public on Monday, April 14.

The August 3, 2008 Hall of Fame Game, televised nationally on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, is scheduled for an 8:00 PM ET start. Tickets may be purchased online by visiting the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s website at Profootballhof.com or by calling 800-913-9788 beginning at 11:00 a.m. ET on April 14.

The cost is $50 for sideline and $40 for end zone seats. There is a limit of six tickets per household. An immediate sellout of these remaining tickets is expected. All tickets are non-refundable and will be mailed on June 25th.

The Hall of Fame Game, played the day after the induction of the Hall of Fame’s newest class of enshrinees, caps a multi-day festival in Canton. The Class of 2008 – defensive end Fred Dean, cornerback Darrell Green, wide receiver Art Monk, cornerback Emmitt Thomas, linebacker Andre Tippett, and tackle Gary Zimmerman – will be formally enshrined during a ceremony held the night before the game. A limited number of good seats for the Enshrinement Ceremony are still available and can also be purchased at Profootballhof.com or by calling 800-913-9788. Tickets are $27 each.

The Redskins bring a perfect 4-0 Hall of Fame Game record to Canton next summer while the Colts are 2-1 in their three appearances in the preseason series.

For the second straight time, Washington will debut a new coach in Canton. Jim Zorn was named the team's new head coach on February 9, 2008. Hall of Fame coach Joe Gibbs, who retired after this past season, had made his return to the sidelines in the Redskins’ 20-17 win over the Denver Broncos in the 2004 Hall of Fame Game.

Washington’s other victories in the Hall of Fame Game came against the Detroit Lions (1965), Cincinnati Bengals (1975), and the Buffalo Bills (1989).

The Colts’ last visit to Canton resulted in a 10-3 win over the New Orleans Saints in 1996. The Colts beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1964 and lost to the Minnesota Vikings in 1982.
