SAFETY PROTOCOLS

The Pro Football Hall of Fame continues to take additional measures to ensure the health and safety of all guests. Staff members have placed markings and stanchions throughout the Museum to help guests maintain proper physical distancing and to guide them in an orderly, one-way flow through the exhibits. Acrylic barriers have been installed in several areas, including Guest Services and the Hall of Fame Store.

Each safety measure adopted for employees and guests meets or exceeds its recommendation set by the state of Ohio and federal health standards for visiting a museum and retail establishment.

Among the many safety measures in place at the Hall of Fame Museum are:

• Every guest, employee, volunteer and docent is required to wear a face covering inside the Museum. Cloth Hall of Fame-branded masks are available for purchase.
• Guests will receive a stylus for use on Museum exhibit touch screens or other contact points, such as elevator buttons.
• Seating in the “A Game for Life” holographic theater and in the Super Bowl Theater will be reduced to allow appropriate spacing of guests.
• A few “hands-on” exhibits remain closed or off-line at this time.
• The Museum’s café remains closed.
• High-contact surfaces, such as railings, counters, doorknobs and elevator buttons, are disinfected throughout each day.
• Stations with hand sanitizer have been placed throughout the Museum.
