Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame
Encyclopedia
The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame was the first hall of fame
built to honor a single professional American football team
. After receiving approval from coach Vince Lombardi
, William L. Brault, a Green Bay
restaurateur and Packers fan, founded the Hall of Fame in 1966. The "Hall" started off as a series of exhibits displayed in the concourse of the Brown County Veterans Memorial Arena
, although it was not a permanent residence, as the exhibits had to be removed each autumn to make room for the Green Bay Bobcats hockey team, which played its home games at the Arena. In 1967, the Packer Hall of Fame Association, a separate corporate entity from the team, was founded and annual induction banquets were subsequently launched in 1970. The Hall did not become a permanent site until 1976 when its new home, an addition to the Brown County Veterans Arena, was formally dedicated on April 3, 1976, by President Gerald R. Ford.
Over the next 26 years, the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame encountered many expansions and renovations. In 2003, renovations to Lambeau Field
provided a new home within the new Lambeau Field Atrium for the Hall. Packers legends Bart Starr
and Ron Wolf
rededicated the Hall on September 4, 2003. The Hall contains a vast array of Packers memorabilia, a re-creation of Vince Lombardi
's office, plaques representing each of the inductees and the Lombardi trophies from Green Bay's four Super Bowl
