The Chick-fil-A College Football Hall of Fame is proud to announce Microsoft as its newest Official Partner. With the multiyear agreement, Microsoft will be the exclusive technology solution behind the museum’s digital outreach, interactive software and industry-leading fan experience.

“We are thrilled to join forces with Microsoft as we constantly seek to elevate the memorable experiences we create for college football fans across the country,” says Kimberly Beaudin, President and CEO of the College Football Hall of Fame. “Microsoft is bringing incredible technology solutions and deep experience from their football partner team to the Hall which helps us advance our mission and strengthen our position as the national home of college football.”

In addition to powering the cutting-edge experience, Microsoft is collaborating with the Hall of Fame to develop a custom technology curriculum for students and educators and fund an annual technology internship at the Hall.

Home Team Gets Stronger

Microsoft’s focus and commitment to Atlanta’s technology and business community continues to grow. The company purchased a 90-acre parcel of land for a future campus at Quarry Yards and Quarry Hills. Microsoft also has plans for a new data center region in Douglas and Fulton Counties. The multiyear agreement follows the company’s recent completion of its new office space in Atlantic Yards this year.

“Microsoft is committed to building enduring foundations in Atlanta. Our connection to a culturally iconic non-profit like College Football Hall of Fame supports our community-driven approach to growth in the region,” shares Michael Ford, Corporate Vice President of Global Workplace Services at Microsoft. “Kimberly and her team have done a tremendous job of creating an unforgettable fan experience at the Hall of Fame. We look forward to supporting them as they educate future generations about the game and inspire them to reach for their goals.”
