- Die Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame ist die Hall of Fame für ehemalige Spieler, Trainer, Footballfunktionäre und sonstige Personen, die sich um die Green Bay Packers verdient gemacht haben. Sie war die erste Hall of Fame, die nur für Personen eines Teams gegründet wurde. In der im Atrium des Lambeau Fields beheimateten Ausstellung kann man unter anderem das Büro der American-Football-Legende Vince Lombardi und Nachbildungen der Trophäen der vier Super-Bowl-Siege der Packers besichtigen. Insgesamt wurden bisher 164 Personen aufgenommen, von denen 25 auch in die Pro Football Hall of Fame aufgenommen wurden. Die jüngsten Mitglieder in der Hall sind die ehemalige Cornerback und Charles Woodson, die 2021 aufgenommen wurden. (de)
- The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame was the first hall of fame built to honor a single professional American football team. John P. Holloway, a Brown County administrator and arena director, and William L. Brault, a Green Bay restaurateur and Packers fan, co-founded the Packer Hall of Fame museum in 1966. According to them, they got the idea after visitors to Green Bay would repeatedly ask about the Packers' storied history. Sensing opportunity, they went to Packers head coach Vince Lombardi, suggesting a Hall of Fame should be made to attract and educate tourists about the Packers and their history. Lombardi gave them his approval, and according to Brault, as he left his office, Lombardi called out to him, "Don't screw it up!" Holloway also founded the Green Bay Area Visitor and Convention Bureau in 1964 from which the original hall of fame began. The hall opened as a series of exhibits displayed in the lower 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. Outside of the Hall of Fame was a 'Receiver Statue' that was dedicated to the invention of the Forward Pass. 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 wins. As of 2022, the Packers Hall of Fame has inducted 164 people, 29 of whom have been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. (en)
