It interesting that the cup was originally just the bowl on the top, and then they have added rings on the bottom to engrave the names. Some day the Cup will be 6 feet tall.
No, that's incorrect. As the large rings at the bottom fill up (I think there are 6 or 7, but I'd have to look at a picture of it to be sure), the top one is removed and placed in the HoF and a new ring is added at the bottom.
