Pro Football Hall of Fame to put tickets on sale for 2021 class enshrinement ceremony
Fans wishing to make the short drive from Pittsburgh to Canton, Ohio, for the Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement of the class of 2021 can begin purchasing tickets at 10 a.m. Friday.
The eight-member 2021 class includes former Pittsburgh Steelers guard Alan Faneca and late scout and personnel man Bill Nunn. The enshrinement ceremony will be Sunday, Aug. 8, at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium.
Tickets ranging from $29 to $199 can be purchased by visiting profootballhof.com/tickets/ or in person at the Hall of Fame’s box office.
Enshrinement week includes the Hall of Fame game Thursday, Aug. 5, between the Steelers and Dallas Cowboys. The game was rescheduled after last year’s event, including the induction ceremony for the Centennial Class, which was canceled because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Tickets for the Class of 2020 enshrinement, which will be Saturday, Aug. 7, already are on sale. The Steelers are represented in that class by former coach Bill Cowher and former safeties Donnie Shell and Troy Polamalu.
The Hall of Fame expects more than 130 living members to return for this year’s enshrinement ceremonies. Ticket packages for the entire enshrinement week also are available.
Joining Faneca and Nunn in the 2021 class are Tom Flores, elected in the coaching category, and former players Calvin Johnson, John Lynch, Peyton Manning, Drew Pearson and Charles Woodson.
