Thanks to a very generous offer from the Indianapolis Colts, the Indiana Football Hall of Fame now has archive display cases located in Lucas Oil Stadium.  Colts Marketing Director, Chuck O'Hara, and Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Board Vice-President and a 2000 HOF inductee, Tom Zupancic, represented the franchise for this joint endeavor.  Ken Jordan, HOF Vice-President, and Fred Goss, HOF Secretary-Treasurer, managed the project for the Hall of Fame.  The first display was completed in time for the Colts home-opening pre-season game on August 19th.  Among the first items displayed are the photos and biographies of Colts inductees, the 2011 HOF inductees, the 2011 HOF scholar-athletes, and items of historical significance to this museum.  The Hall of Fame is extremely appreciative of the opportunity to share Indiana Football Hall of Fame archives with the many thousands of visitors to Lucas Oil Stadium.  While at Lucas Oil cheering for the Colts, please stop by the HOF display cases as well.  GO COLTS!
