Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame
College football is near and dear to the couple. Kara went to Auburn (War Eagle) and Kalu went to Georgia (Go Dawgs). Needless to say they don't call it the Oldest Rivalry in the Deep South for nothing. Share our love for college football by visiting The College Football Hall of Fame. The College Football Hall of Fame is a hall of fame and interactive attraction devoted to college football. The National Football Foundation founded the Hall in 1951 to immortalize the players and coaches of college football that were voted first team All-American by the media. Fun fact, Kalu wanted to host the American wedding at The College Football Hall of Fame!

It is very popular among cyclists, and is proposed to be used as part of the BeltLine, for bicyclists and pedestrians to cross Hulsey Yard. It's also great for photo opps!
