The decision has been made to postpone the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony until spring of 2021.

Originally the ceremony was to take place on the 29th of August at Symphony Hall in Springfield where the facility has a seating capacity of 2,611.

Officials bounced around the idea of holding the ceremony at Springfield’s Mass Mutual Center which has a seating capacity of 8,319 people which would allow for some social distancing.

Colangelo also assured the public that there will be two separate ceremonies.

There will be one ceremony for the Class of 2020, and another ceremony for the class of 2021.
