College Football Hall of Fame takes exhibit on the road

July 16, 2003

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- The College Football Hall of Fame has built a "traveling museum" featuring interactive kiosks that it will drive around the country inspiring football fans and players alike.

The "Road Show" is a recreational vehicle that displays memorabilia including helmets, autographed balls, jerseys of several college football greats, band uniforms, trophies, game programs and a coach's playbook. The exhibit features an interactive kiosk that plays videos of great moments in college football history including bloopers, great upsets, legendary games and memorable plays.

The RV also includes a mini-theater with a touchscreen display.

"They're bringing a big trailer that's like a traveling museum," said Ray Pohlman, who is coordinating a regional all-star football game in Toledo, Ohio. The exhibit is heading there next, according to an article in the Toledo Blade. "It's a 38-foot recreational vehicle that has artifacts and memorabilia. It has interactive audio visual displays and push button displays."

Pohlman said the display adds even more "football flavor" to the atmosphere surrounding his all-star affair.
