The Steelers takeover of Canton will have to wait a year as the NFL has reportedly made the decision to not just cancel the August 6th preseason game between the Steelers and Cowboys, but also to postpone the enshrinement ceremonies until 20201.
This per ESPN's Adam Schefter:
While the decision to cancel the preseason game was somewhat expected, the Hall of Fame seemed determined to keep their annual ceremonies on as scheduled. Just a few short weeks ago the Hall of Fame said they were on schedule, with fans in the seats.
“One of the things we’re hoping for, and that we’re willing to do, is to almost be the test case for the NFL,” Rich Desrosiers, VP of communications for the Hall of Fame, said.
