The Hall of Fame Indoor Waterpark will feature 147,000 square feet of technology-driven, football-themed, family-friendly recreation area. The Waterpark will feature 85,000 square feet of water space, including a wave pool, lazy river, several waterslides, private cabanas, and smaller slides and pool areas for kids.
