Canton and Green Bay: A tale of two cities linked together in football history

As a fan of the Green Bay Packers, you think you know NFL history.

After all, the history of the Packers is the history of the NFL right? Both have been in existence almost the exact same amount of time (the Packers are actually just over a year older) and the Green Bay dynasty of the 1960s coincided with the beginning of the rise of the National Football League to the prominence it enjoys today.

Nowhere is that more apparent than in the home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame: Canton, Ohio.

Canton is the birthplace of professional football so it naturally made sense to build the hall of fame there.
