The Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company ("HOFV" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: HOFV) is a leading sports, entertainment, and media enterprise headquartered in Canton, Ohio, and is the owner of the Hall of Fame Village. Established in 2020, the publicly traded company is the result of a business combination between HOF Village, LLC — a partnership between the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Industrial Realty Group (IRG), established in 2016 — and Gordon Pointe Acquisition Corp (GPAQ). Under the leadership of seasoned executive Michael Crawford, President & CEO, HOFV is poised to capitalize on its unique partnership with professional football. This platform allows for the continued development of an integrated resort complex that is the Hall of Fame Village, as well as other gaming and media verticals.
"Blue Owl is pleased to work with HOFV on the financing of such an important component of the Hall of Fame Village and to continue their partnership with IRG, one of the leading industrial developers in the country," said Colleen Collins, Managing Director of Blue Owl. "We also wanted to acknowledge BGL's creativity to facilitate this transaction in the current challenging capital markets."
The themed, experiential, destination masterplan of Hall of Fame Village includes three phases:
- Phase I is complete and included the Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium and the initial build-out of the Hall Fame Village Sports Complex.
- Phase II is well underway and consists of the newly renovated DoubleTree by Hilton Canton Downtown hotel, a multi-use office complex in the Constellation Center for Excellence, a 100,000 square foot indoor facility in the Center for Performance, the Fan Engagement Zone, and Play-Action Plaza, an outdoor entertainment space that includes a zip line and giant wheel attraction to compliment food and beverage options contained within three acres of green space. A Hilton Tapestry Hotel, and the completion of what is now known as the "Forever Lawn Sports Complex," round out the offerings of Phase II.

The Hall of Fame Village campus is also home to the Pro Football Hall of Fame Museum, and, while the Museum is under separate ownership, the aligned synergies complement this destination masterplan.

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. The facility will also include party rooms, a separate arcade area, locker rooms, lifeguard stations, laundry facilities, and various food and drink options.
