The Pro Football Hall of Fame is inviting football legends to tour the museum with guests during its first Hall of Fame Fan Fest.

The event is set for March 21-22 with a “Chalk Talk” scheduled from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. each day.

The fan fest, which is based on an event the Hall held in Cleveland in 2014, is a way to kick off the NFL’s centennial year with something special.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime memory,” said George Veras, chief operating officer and executive producer for the Hall.

Each day, three football legends will be stationed throughout the Hall, ready to talk to fans and pose for photos.
