Here's a press release we got from the Browns last week. Gene Hickerson will be among the players enshrined, and a number of ex-Browns and Hickerson's teammates will be there. I thought this was kind cool. Here's the press release:
More Than 70 Hall of Famers to Attend 2007 Pro Football Hall of Fame
Enshrinement Ceremony
CANTON, OH – Each summer, thousands of pro football fans travel to Canton,
Ohio to witness pro football history – the induction of the newest class of
enshrinees into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The formal ceremony, which
is being held in the evening primetime hours for the first time, is scheduled
for 6 p.m. on Saturday, August 4, 2007.
This year, former Cleveland Browns all-time great Gene Hickerson and five
other former players – Michael Irvin, Bruce Matthews, Charlie Sanders, Thurman
Thomas, and Roger Wehrli – will increase the number of the Hall of Fame’s honor
roll to 241.
In what has become an annual tradition, a large contingent of Pro Football
Hall of Fame members will join the Class of 2007 on the Enshrinement stage.
Early indications are that more than half of the 150 living members of the Hall
of Fame will be on hand for the moving ceremony.
Already, the list of returning Hall of Famers reads like a who’s who in pro
football history. Troy Aikman, Dan Dierdorf, Eric Dickerson, Tony Dorsett,
Dan Fouts, Frank Gifford, Joe Greene, Jim Kelly, Leroy Kelly, Jack Lambert,
Ronnie Lott, John Madden, Warren Moon, Barry Sanders, Gale Sayers, Bart Starr,
Lynn Swann, and Kellen Winslow are just a few of the football legends who have
confirmed their plans to attend.
In addition to Leroy Kelly, other Browns Hall of Famers attending the
enshrinement includes Joe DeLamielleure, Bobby Mitchell, and Bill Willis. Also,
several of Hickerson’s teammates will be in attendance to support their longtime
friend.
Good seats for the ceremony are still available. Sideline tickets are $26 and
VIP floor seats are $52 and can be purchased online at
Profootballhof.com or by calling Turnstyles Ticketing (800) 913-9788.
