The College Football Hall of Fame opened in August 2014. The $68.5 million museum moved from South Bend, Indiana, to Atlanta and has joined the slew of new museums and entertainment complexes that have adjoined Centennial Olympic Park since the end of the 1996 Games.

As teachers prepare for the first day back at school, they can look forward to celebrating their return with a free day at the College Football Hall of Fame.

Educators who show a valid school ID from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. will receive free admission on Saturday, Aug. 19. They may meet the group sales staff, learn about the Hall's "student-friendly curriculum" and receive field trip information.

Plus, their family members will receive a 20 percent discount at the box office.

The downtown sports attraction includes a 45-yard indoor football field and interactive exhibits. It is open Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Tickets normally range from $18 to $22. Active duty and retired military service members always receive free admission with a valid ID, and there is also no charge for children under three.

The College Football Hall of Fame is located at 250 Marietta St. NW.
