A ground breaking took place this week for the new luxury hotel that will go up at the Johnson Controls Pro Football Hall of Fame Village in Canton, OH. The 243-room, 345,000-square-foot hotel is scheduled to open in 2019.
Coinciding with the hotel groundbreaking, Welty Building Co. held a topping off ceremony at the site’s under-construction Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium that is on schedule to open August 3rd.
Besides the museum, Benson Stadium and the new hotel, the Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Village will also include a youth sports complex, retail stores, what will be billed as the “world’s greatest sports bar,” an indoor performance center, assisted living area for retired hall of famers and others, a second hotel, and the Johnson Controls Hall of Fame Experience that will include virtual reality technology and a football-themed water park.
