The College Football Hall of Fame
About this episode
This episode features Richard Nussbaum discussing the impact of the College Football Hall of Fame on South Bend's history and development.
In the early 1990s, South Bend took a bold swing, landing the College Football Hall of Fame with hopes of putting the city on the national stage and sparking new life in downtown. In this episode, I sit down with Richard Nussbaum, former South Bend city attorney under Joe Kernan and someone who had a front row seat to how it all unfolded. From the excitement of landing the Hall, to the numerous challenges, to the eventual move out of South Bend, Dick shares a firsthand look at one of the most ambitious, and debated, chapters in our city’s modern history. This is the story of a big idea, the risks that come with it, and what it all means looking back today. _________________________________________________________ Big thank you to Dan Berry Insurance for supporting the show.
