Celebrating the return of college football on GWCCA campus
Fans have the opportunity to get a head start on the 2018 college football season this weekend on the campus of the Georgia World Congress Center Authority (GWCCA).
The Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame, Chick-fil-A and the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl are partnering to celebrate Atlanta as the capital of college football. On Saturday (Aug. 25), Chick-fil-A will provide free admission to the Hall of Fame and the 2nd annual Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Football Fest will take place on Marietta Street in front of the Hall of Fame. This free football extravaganza set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday brings organizations from across the city together to celebrate Atlanta – and the GWCCA campus – as the epicenter of college pigskin. The festivities will include music, drumlines, mascots, step teams and cheerleaders. The street will be filled with inflatables and football-themed games for fans of all ages to get hyped for the upcoming season and celebrate all that is college football.
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 .
