Steelers-Vikings Sellout HOF Game For Bus Induction Weekend

[Lady Steel]

PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) – With Jerome Bettis getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year, it was no accident that the Steelers were picked to play the Vikings that same weekend in the Hall of Fame game.

That move has led to a sellout of the preseason opener according to the Hall of Fame. All available individual tickets have been sold out. Special ticket packages that can get you into the game are still available.

Ticket packages for the game and the enshrinement ceremonies are available online at ProFootballHOF.com/tickets (http://www.profootballhof.com/tickets/) or by calling 1-844-4HOFTIX.

In a release from the Hall of Fame, President David Baker said “The excitement and interest in the NFL has never been bigger and the quick sellout of the Hall of Fame Game proves how much fans are looking forward to the start of another great season. Enshrinement tickets are also selling fast so we encourage all fans to secure seats as soon as possible for what will be a memorable night of enshrining eight legendary Heroes of the Game.”

Those closest to Jerome Bettis share their excitement over him heading to the Hall of Fame.

Former Steelers running back Jerome Bettis will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, Aug. 8 in Canton, Ohio as a member of the Class of 2015. Bettis will join the other 22 Steelers who are members of the Hall of Fame. From now until his induction, Steelers.com will be bringing you features on Bettis.

Jada Bettis’ eyes lit up as she walked into the Pro Football Hall of Fame earlier this year, only to be greeted by a photo of her father, Jerome Bettis on the wall with other members of the Class of 2015.

For the nine-year old, it was an amazing moment. She might not have remembered her dad’s playing career, as she was only an infant when Bettis last played, but she knows about his journey.

“I am very proud,” said Jada about her dad’s accomplishment. “I couldn’t be any prouder. He worked so hard and finally he is in the Hall of Fame. All of his hard work paid off.

“The day he made it, they called and I was asking did he make it. They told me to calm down. They said he made it. I started to cry, my eyes got teary. I was so proud of him. I couldn’t be any prouder. I am so excited. I can’t wait. I couldn’t be any happier for him.”

Bettis shared with his daughter not just his football journey, but his life’s journey to make her understand and appreciate hard word, dedication and determination, all things the young gymnast takes with her to competitions.
