The Hall of Fame game between Green Bay and Indianapolis has been canceled because of poor field conditions. Thousands of Packers fans came to Canton to see Brett Favre inducted Saturday night, and many returned Sunday to Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium. Rubber pellets used in the turf came loose and were scattered in several spots and needed to be removed, as well. This was not the first cancellation of an NFL exhibition game — the Hall of Game contest was not played in 2011 because of the lockout — but it was the most high-profile preseason match to be called off. Hall President David Baker made the announcement Sunday after discussing problems with the turf with both teams.
