Pro Football Hall of Fame and Goodyear Announce Partnership, Free Admission for Veterans

CANTON, OH - The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company recently announced a sponsorship agreement with the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The agreement marks a new chapter in Goodyear’s long association with the sport of football.

To kick off the relationship, Goodyear and the Pro Football Hall of Fame will support a special offer for the U.S. Armed Forces. Throughout the month of November and including Veteran’s Day, active members of the military and veterans plus one guest will be allowed free entry into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

“We are especially pleased to be able to build on our strong relationship and longstanding support of the U.S. Armed Forces through this new agreement with the Hall of Fame. Both pro football and our military embody the hard work, determination and grit that we are celebrating in our ‘Blimpworthy’ campaign,” said Steve McClellan, president of Goodyear Americas.

The relationship between Goodyear and the Hall of Fame will focus on extending Goodyear’s “Blimpworthy” brand campaign which celebrates the spirit of football – on and off the field. Leveraging the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s vast archive, Goodyear will share Blimpworthy stories through Hall of Famers and the moments in time that transformed their careers.

“The Pro Football Hall of Fame is proud to collaborate with Goodyear, a company that shares a commitment to celebrate excellence,” said Pro Football Hall of Fame President David Baker. “We look forward to working together to provide stories of inspiration to generations of fans by focusing on values learned from the game such as commitment, integrity, courage, respect and excellence.”

The museum is currently undergoing a massive renovation project and Goodyear's support will likely help push the site through that time of transition.

“We are delighted to join forces with the Pro Football Hall of Fame, our neighbor in Northeast Ohio. This is a time of tremendous excitement for the Hall of Fame as it embarks on a transformational project to establish the venue as a global sports destination,” .
