Internet: description of Hall of Fame and Lambeau Field, virtual tour, list of inductees, videos, online store, http://www.packers.com/hall_of_fame/. The Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame is located inside the newly renovated Lambeau Field atrium. After paying admission, visitors watch The Road to Glory, a 12-minute video highlighting the history of “the most fabled franchise” in football history. As the video makes immediately clear, this is a shrine for Packers fans; anyone looking for a sober analysis of football history can clearly look elsewhere! Within this celebratory context, however, the Hall of Fame is a surprising amount of fun. On a deeper level, it raises (perhaps unintentionally) some interesting questions about the meaning of sport and America's obsession with winning
