Marcus will be a key ambassador for the HOFV brand and the Hall of Fame Village, and we very much look forward to his input as a full-time Board member.”

“It’s been incredible to witness the progress that the Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company has made over the past two years. Seeing has definitely been believing as I’ve been able to experience first-hand during this past Enshrinement Week all that the Hall of Fame Village has to offer its guests and fans. I’m excited to represent this remarkable company and contribute to its future success as a member of its Board of Directors,” said Marcus Allen.

Allen is the only player in history to win a high school state championship, college national championship, Super Bowl, Maxwell Award, Doak Walker Award, Heisman Trophy, Rookie of the Year, Team MVP, NFL MVP, Super Bowl MVP, Comeback Player of the Year, and be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Hall of Fame.
