The Pro Football Hall of Fame continues to move forward with plans to hold the annual Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 7 between the Rams and Chicago Bears.

According to hall president Steve Perry, tickets for about half of the 22,000-seat Fawcett Stadium have been sold. The game usually sells out, and is televised by NBC.

Perry said the Bears and Rams both have told the Hall of Fame they plan to play in the game, but to do so, both teams would have to begin training camp by the third week in July, which means the labor negotiators are cutting it extremely close.
