College Football Hall of Fame Kickoff

When the College Football Hall of Fame decided to relocate from the Midwest to Atlanta, who knew that the new home to the " gods of the Gridiron" would be nestled a short walk from the new Falcons stadium? Well, maybe somebody knew. For football fans, the Hall of Fame might just be one more reason to tailgate.

The $66.5 million facility will house a 45-yard football field and plenty of exhibition space. And memorabilia? Well, there will be acres of it dedicated to those who "lived the dream", as the promotional video for the new museum says. Expected to open in the fall, it will be just in time for the new season. So where to spend a Saturday afternoon? Beside Georgia World Congress Center on Marietta Street. 404-527-6949, www.cfbhall.com
