The College Football Hall of Fame was damaged during protests in Atlanta, local media reported on Sunday.

The Hall of Fame, which is located near the Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta, was near the epicenter of demonstrations over George Floyd's death.

Floyd died while in police custody in Minneapolis earlier this week, which sparked widespread protests across the United States.

College Football Hall of Fame CEO Kimberly Beaudin said: "We are heartbroken to see the damage to our city and the Hall of Fame. In the coming days and weeks, we'll work to pick up the pieces to rebuild the sacred walls that housed memories and honored those who played the game."
