NFL Hall of Fame Fans
What A Fan has been following a group of NFL Hall of Fame Fans which we were introduced to us in 2000. We found out about these amazing fans by a Oakland Raider Fan we were interviewing for the pilot episode for What A Fan, he was living in New Jersey and wanted to be one of the fans initially selected. The NFL and Visa worked together on a sponsorship program targeting fans, winners of this super fan contest would be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fans inside Canton's Hall of Fame.All of us at What A Fan could not believe our luck we thought this was the coolest thing ever and confirmed for all the show producers we were on the right project at the right time... The NFL Hall of Fame Fans story was just the kind of feature we believed people would have a curiosity about , as we did. We had our producers make arrangements to interview the first group of fans that won and ultimately selected to be part of the Hall of Fans. Since we already had our first pilot show written and scheduled we could not include the NFL Hall of Fame Fans but they were part of our series of shows planned. As fate would have it the show did get distribution, unfortunately out release date was after the horrific events of 911.
Today the World is a different place with assets we didn't have in 1999. The internet has become an amazing tool we can barely live without, social networks are the way we now communicate and express ourselves. One thing that hasn't changed is the passion of sports fans. We are happy to report the group of fans once selected to the first Visa NFL Hall of Fame Fans contest are largely still with us and just as passionate about their teams as ever. Some are gone like our good friend Barrel Man but we'll never forget him, we'll keep his memory alive.
NFL Hall of Fame Fans, Quality Folks!
What makes this group of super fans special is the continued commitment to their teams and the community service they immerse themselves in year to year. Their value to sports, community, charitable organizations and the people's lives they've touched is unmeasurable. The smiles they've put on the faces of countless children in need and during hospital visits has been remarkable. There are fans and then there are super fans and the NFL Hall of Fame Fans now recognized as P.F.U.F.A. (Professional Football Ultimate Fan Association) are just a class group of American Sports Fans.
What A Fan is honored to be part of a industry of sports fans were organizations like PFUFA are born from. Visit What A Fan and share you passion with our great fans.
