ATLANTA — The Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame, in partnership with Chick-fil-A and Coca-Cola, have announced free admission to the downtown Atlanta attraction for the month of August in celebration of college football’s 150th anniversary and the hall’s fifth year in Atlanta. Fans gain free admission in August by scanning the Chick-fil-A app at the ticket window.

The Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame is a 94,256-square-foot attraction located in the heart of Atlanta's sports, entertainment and tourism district. Adjacent to the Georgia World Congress Center and Centennial Olympic Park, the Hall provides visitors with a highly immersive, interactive and engaging experience using a blend of historic college football artifacts and state-of-the-art, interactive multimedia exhibits.

The National Football Foundation launched the hall in 1951. Atlanta Hall Management, Inc., partnered with the NFF to construct and operate the Hall of Fame attraction, which provides a platform for community outreach, education and character development initiatives, as well as serves as one of Atlanta’s premier special event spaces. It opened in the city in August 2014.

“Chick-fil-A has been a passionate supporter of college football and its fans for decades,” said Joe Saracino, Chick-fil-A senior vice president, brand strategy, advertising and media. “We are proud that we are a part of the Hall of Fame in Atlanta and want to share this remarkable attraction with everyone.”

The Coca-Cola Company offers over 500 brands in more than 200 countries and territories.
