Mayor Domenic J. Sarno stated, “Such a positive event with great energy. It will be great for the City of Springfield to host the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony once again. Unfortunately, due to the difficulties from the COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic the ceremony for the Class of 2020 had to take place in Connecticut. I am pleased and happy to hear that the ceremony for the Class of 2021 will once again take place here in the City of Springfield, the birthplace of basketball, at our MassMutual Center in September. Congratulations to all involved and to those being honored and inducted.”
