My Beautiful Atlanta Georgia Tour

There are a lot of beautiful places in Atlanta Georgia where you could visit. If anyway took a vacation to Atlanta this will be a fabulous vacation. I took a visit to a couple of places myself in the Atlanta area. One of the most fabulous places in the Atlanta Georgia is the college football of hall of fame. It’s a very unique place to take a visit to. It is also very interesting you will learn a lot after visiting this place.

As you first get to the booth to get you ticket they will give you an all-access pass. The all-access pass is for you to access things throughout the museum. Once you walk through the door the employees will help you register you all-access pass and put your favorite college football on your access pass, so when you go up to a machine you tap your access pass onto any machine throughout the museum and history of the college team you picked out will pop up. The facility of the College Football of Hall Of Fame is a very unique built place. The facility is 50000 square feet big. Its three level facility. As you walk in on the first level of the facility, it has these screen where you pick your favorite college football team and then there’s a helmet wall where after you pick your favorite team, the helmet lights up on the helmet wall. There were about 700 helmets on that wall. One the first level there is also a customer service desk where you can go for help and get directions around the whole facility so you will get not lost and make sure you seen everything in the facility. The first level also contains a half football field of 45 yards where you can go and see how the real college sports kick field goals. The football field has a place where you can run their the dummies to see how the football players practices running through people and after you come out the dummies, one of the employees will throw you the football and you can drive on a mat to see how they really do it in the football game. There’s another section on the field where its podium where it has a real NCAA Championship Trophy and you can have somebody take your picture. There is an chick fi la connected to the facility on the outside of the building where you can get something to eat before going in. in the football area there is a walk up line where you can order you something to eat from chick fi la and enjoy a meal as you walk through the College Football of Hall Of Fame or you can sit and eat at the tables the College Football of Hall Of Fame has for you to sit at the enjoy your meal. The last thing on the first level contain a gift shop. The gift shop contains all different things that you can purchase. They have mostly college football souvenirs and candy and a lot of other things people like of that college football nature will enjoy having at home or anywhere you want to take it.

The second floor of the College Football of Hall Of Fame facility contain different football items. When you walk up the steps there are display cases of all types of things, one case showed you national football championship trophy. It also told you how much the trophy weighted and all other things. Another case showed you the national football champion rings, the cases had rings from 1960s all the way till 2015. Around the corner from that there is a glass room where you can see the football field. This floor has a room that shows you all type of picture and videos of the people that was in the college football hall of fame. It was about a good 10 minute video. The Quad and Hall of Fame will have ample space to host your event, and the ultra high definition theater will be able to accommodate 150 people for corporate meetings, presentations, and movies. By utilizing all of the attraction’s galleries and function space, events for up to 3,500 people can be accommodated. Around another corner on the second floor it’s an area of a lot of vantage memorabilia. There’s a display cases that has old uniforms and tells you how they were made up and came with the idea of having cheerleaders and uniforms for them. Has the car back from the 1800s of how people use to tailgate back in those years. It has a video recording where you say a script like you’re on ESPN. The second floor have some hall of fame players jersey in display cases to show you some of the greats that played in college football.

As we enter into the third and final floor. The third floor is very very unique. When you walk up the final flight of steps. This is the best floor in my eyes. There are these screen machine type things. When you go to the screen you can look up all the players that has been elected to the college football hall of fame. You can pull up things like articles, rushing yards, things about the school that player went to, the stats that player had all types of interesting things. You can rotate the machine in a circle and as you rotate the machine the screen rotates also to give you more information on that player.

This museum facility is a very important piece to the world this day and age. It’s very important because there is a lot of people in this world today that enjoy college football. The main purpose of this museum is to give everybody in Atlanta Georgia or even people in the United States a chance to learn about the history of the college football. It may be a young man in the world that loves the Florida Gators. That young man can take a trip to Atlanta Georgia College Football of Hall Of Fame and learn everything he wants to know from all the Hall Of Fame players to the number of national championship. Another purpose this museum may have is a person may want to experience how to kick a field goal, the museum will be a great place to figure out how and what to do to kick a field goal exactly the way the college football does there’s. You or your friends and family may want to know what to know what it feels like to have that experience of being on a college football team that wins the national championship.

This place supposed to give you a great feeling of the college football nature. It’s supposed to help you learn and figure out about how things came together for the college football history. This will be a great visitation with you family that loves football. The family can learn all about the favorite college football team. This place supposed to give you all the history that you never knew about as a kid growing up and as an adult.

The audience to this type of events could be all types of people. There could be people like those who just want to know about their college team. It’s may be a college coach visiting the College Football Of Hall of Fame and he want to know about the history of the football team he’s coaching. It may show him how his team won games and all types of things’ and he can take the history of facts he discovered to help him win games for his program.

The College Football of Hall of Fame has its flaws. They museum has a chick fi la connected to the building but if you bought your chick fi la from the outside you cannot bring it in the inside. The elevator in the inside isn’t where it should be. You have to search for the elevator just to ride up it in case you’re an handicap person or just cannot walk up the steps. Also some of the machine would not work when you type your all-access pass on the machine inside the museum. Once you enter the gift shop you cannot return back into the museum even if you just wanted some candy or something. You’re unable to touch the vantage items the museum has.

Some of the things that could make the museum a better place is to allow you to bring food from the outside in. The prices need to be lower because twenty dollars a person is just ridiculous to get into a museum to look around. You also have to pay for parking at their parking deck which should be free because their prices are already high. Another thing that would have it more better is if the College Football of Hall of Fame had more schools like junior colleges and like division two school. Just like lower class schools.

All together this was a great visit for me. I could come back to this place time and time again to the museum cause it just a very unique place to be. I would plan a trip here for my family and friends the next time I come because I know they will enjoy. All together it was a great experience for me as a student at Georgia state university.
