(1) The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s mission 
is— 
(A) to honor individuals who have made 
outstanding contributions to professional foot-
ball; 
(B) to preserve professional football’s his-
toric documents and artifacts; 
(C) to educate the public regarding the ori-
gin, development, and growth of professional 
football as an important part of American cul-
ture; and 
(D) to promote the positive values of the 
sport. 
(2) The Pro Football Hall of Fame opened its 
doors on September 7, 1963. On that day, a charter 
class of 17 players, coaches, and contributors were 
enshrined. Among the group were such legends as 
Sammy Baugh, Red Grange, George Halas, Don 
Hutson, Bronko 
Nagurski, 
and 
Jim 
Thorpe. 
Through 2012, 273 members had been elected to the 
Pro Football Hall of Fame. Three distinct iconic 
symbols represent an individual’s membership in the 
Hall of Fame: a bronze bust, a Hall of Fame gold 
jacket, and a Hall of Fame ring.
