HOF Enshrinement & Game
Q: What am I permitted to bring with me into Fawcett Stadium for the enshrinement and/or game?
A: Please be aware of restrictions on items allowed into the stadium during the events. Please consult the lists below. All bags will be checked at the gates by security. Any items not permitted must be returned to your vehicle or disposed of at the gate. Permitted/nonpermitted item list is subject to change.
Officials at the Pro Football Hall of Fame and representatives of the participating Law Enforcement Agencies suggest fans arrive early for each event to avoid any delays in entering the stadium. Since parking is very limited, we recommend parking at the Stark County Fairgrounds and SARTA Shuttle Bus to the Stadium. Directional signs are posted at Interstate 77 exits.
