Some VIPs and others got to see the progress made at the Pro Football Hall of Fame as work continues on a $27 million expansion and renovation project.

Today's focus was mainly on the Ralph Wilson, Jr. Research & Preservation Center, where a "topping-out" ceremony was held as a symbolic beam was placed on the new facility.   Wilson, who owns the Buffalo Bills, donated $2.5 million to the football hall's Future 50 project. 

Future 50 is expected to be complete in 2013 as the Pro Football Hall of Fame marks its golden anniversary.
