The Hall Network is the catalyst to the HOFN Membership Program for Halls of Fame and Sports Museums. While our overall program benefits are extensive, the key component is providing partnering Halls of Fame and Sports Museums with their own web page on the HOFN site ... free!

The Hall Network will list Halls of Fame and Museums by category, and provide HOFN readers free access to all Hall Network Members' pages.

The Hall Network will be the 'ultimate link' tying the Industry together.

Page content within the Hall Network will be managed personally by each Hall of Fame Network Member. Members will be allowed to provide HOFN readers with specific information deemed an interesting or informative read about its respective Hall of Fame or Sports Museum.

The Hall Network will become the 'Industry Portal', and will be available to all approved Halls of Fame and Sports Museums including, hundreds of International, National, Regional and City Halls of Fame, plus tens-of-thousands of College and High School Halls of Fame.

Each Hall Network page may also be connected to HOFTV, which will provide streaming video channels including; Event Highlights, In the Spotlight, Hall Tours, HOF Destinations, and the planned HOFTV Series, Halls & Heroes (interviews with Hall of Fame legends and industry insiders).

Please provide information about your Hall of Fame or Sports Museum in the Hall Network Membership form (link will open a new window). Upon approval, a HOFN Representative will contact you to assist with the completion of your free Hall Network Membership. Thank you.
