CANTON, Ohio — The Pro Football Hall of Fame is refunding ticketholders after the Green Bay Packers vs. Indianapolis Colts game set for Sunday evening, August 7th in Canton, Ohio was canceled due to poor turf conditions.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame released the following statement Thursday, August 18th:

Due to the cancellation of the 2016 Hall of Fame Game, the Pro Football Hall of Fame (“HOF”), a 501(c)(3) not for profit institution, is offering a Reimbursement Plan to all ticketholders. If you would like an information packet with details concerning the Reimbursement Plan being offered, as well as other important information, please click on the “Request Reimbursement Plan” button below and complete the form on the following page.
