Canton ohio hof induction thread (little)!!!

[broncocalijohn]

Let the planning begin.

[chadta]

im in

[Meck77]

Nice! Rethinking london now. Much bigger bash in Canton!

[Hogan11]

Would staying in Cleveland and making the drive be more affordable? I imagine rates in Canton would be through the roof for this event.

Also, what's the estimated cost for tickets to the induction?

[broncocalijohn]

I am married so harder to sell Ohio than London, England. With a spring training trip and hopefully an Angels vs Cubs in Chicago, I am spreading my resources. Really hoping this was a Little-Sharpe induction. Do you realize the other guys all are on teams that beat us in the SB except Randle (Viks). How many times will you be reminded of those SB losses at Canton? At least being there because a Bronco is getting in makes up for those horrible memories. Meck, bringing the bus? Maybe a bus trip can be done if you need passengers.

[chadta]

pft, im bringing the wifes mini van, ill take the seats out an crash in that, hogan, ill pick ya up in buffalo on the way down if ya need a ride

I appreciate the offer Chadta, still trying to work out whether I can get the time off and Sass out here for it. I'll get back to you on it.

BTW, The floor and the west endzone tickets are already sold out

[PaintballCLE]

well obviously ill be in for this one............hogan as for staying in cleveland........rates right now on hotwire aren't bad at all (under $50 for both akron/canton and cleveland)


Cleveland is much nicer than akron/canton (they have begun to redo the downtown) and canton is hillbilly country........but its a lot closer to stay there especially for those flying into akron airport.

If you do decide to stay in canton......the HGI (hilton garden inn) by the akron airport is a nice hotel and 2 exits away from the HOF (about a 5 min drive)


it is about an hour drive from cleveland to canton.

[PaintballCLE]

PS. if any of you are flying in, as a rule of thumb akron/canton airport (CAK) is usually cheaper (and a lot closer) than the cleveland airport. (CLE)

Though for another search option pittsburgh isnt far at all either.

[Sassy]

Over 400 bucks for me to fly to akron/canton.

[Ramathorn]

Im in like flinn!! I only live 2 hours south of canton on I77. anyone coming up from the south is more than welcome to crash at my house. I got an extra bedroom.

[Meck77]

Got my tickets today. Cali...At this point all I can tell you is I'll be there. Not sure about the bus. It's all about the logistics and where to park. If I can nail down a good spot to park it would certainly be a blast. Might have to get a local like Darhorse or ElwayHOF to knock on some doors to see if Frank still has that land we partied on years ago. Either that or find another local willing to rent an RV spot.

There are some real heavy hitters in this HOF class. It's going to be a party!

[Hogan11]

All the hotels in Canton are already booked solid

[Meck77]

I just put an add on craigslist requesting a house with RV parking near the stadium.

I'll let you know if anything comes back. I'd imagine many of the locals leave town or try to cash in during that weekend. A decent house nearby would be ideal.

Darkhorse/ElwayHOF are you guys around?

http://www.motel6.com/reservations/motel_detail.aspx?num=1135

18 rooms available here. 4.9 miles to the stadium. I booked a room here for a back up plan for now. 85 bucks.

The HOF is right next to the canton mckinley high school (where mcd was from) if you call them you might be able to reserve a spot with them.

They helped us secure a big lot off of Blake St for Elway's ceremony. They didn't offer any of their ground last time but it's worth a shot.

Just tell them you know McD!


haha well we can jsut park at the akron canton airport for $7/day and then drive over to the HOF LOL

[broncobum6162]

Hey guys... I'd have to say that I'm in for this one. I wouldn't be able to stay for the game but I could B there w/ the RV by Fri Nite. I think I'll be back to work in Indy and could do the weekend thing.

[Hogan11]

I know people have ordered them but has anyone actually received their tickets yet?

Just curious as I haven't

[27atwater]

I'm pretty sure I'll be there. I live an hour away.

Hogan, if ya can't find anything, I might just have a couch w/ yer name on it. I'll likely be meeting up w/ McBleed and Ramathorn in Canton...among all others I'm sure.

Funds are tight this year and we are planning a Disney trip so this is perfect for a local event that I can actually get to. This puts the kibosh on a trip to Knoxville, but I could commute all week to the events.

And Ram...I haven't forgotten ya buddy.

[Hogan11]

Well guys, a family thing has arose around that same time that may make it impossible for me to go. I'll know more in a few weeks, but I may have a couple of tickets available at a reasonable price for this if so......PM me if interested and I'll keep you up to date as developments occur.

Sorry to hear that you might not be able to go, Ray. Put me on your list of people interested in the tickets. I am definitely interested.

Sorry bud...the big Disney trip is planned for this year. There will be very few exrra-curriculurs. Best shot I have is Vols AT S. Carolina on the drive back north.

And when he does, ill be sure to cut you in.

[crawdad]

We must be related, I got an email from my friend in Nigeria as well!

[Dendave]

Bengals vs Cowboys? really?

[MOCRUSH]

Bum, McBleed and crawdad,

St. Louis crew will join in, looks like will muster 4 at this point.

Hoping Titans game lines up with my 25th Reunion at Vandy, that's a weekend that could induce liver strain.

[Hogan11]

Has anyone heard anything further on the tickets yet?

They took my money and thus far......nothing.

[broncosteven]

Anyone else have any updates on plans? I am trying to figure out how to pull this off myself.

[Hogan11]

Tickets will be mailed on or after June 28, 2010

[broncobum6162]

It's getting closer! I'm still planning on going. Has anyone got any updates on RV Parking? We need people to post who are still going. :strong::strong:

I don't have an RV. I do have health issues and am still trying to figure out how to pull this off but I did buy 4 tickets the day Floyd was inducted and am hoping I can find a way to get there.

[crawdad]

Unfortunately something else came up and I will not be able to attend the festivities! We are do a pseudo class reunion for all of my 60 year old classmates during the same time!

[Hogan11]

Got the tickets in the mail today.

As noted earlier in the thread, I had a family thing come up after I ordered them, so I now won't be able to go. I'm selling them (2) for what I laid down for them ($60.00).

Ramathorn has first dibs, but I have yet to hear back from him....so, if interested, shoot me a PM and if Ramathorn decides he doesn't want them or he just plain doesn't get back to me in a week or so, we'll deal.

If no takers in three weeks, I'll be forced to go the eBay route.

[Hogan11]

What they look like

[broncosteven]

I got mine today also. Glad they gave Floyd the center spot!

[Hogan11]

My tickets are totally up for grabs now....if interested, PM me.

[27atwater]

Got my tix yesterday. I'm rolling up w/ a Cowboys fan, but we're 100% there...barring any catastrophies.

[Hogan11]

Just an FYI, the tickets I had have been sold.

[broncobum6162]

Well, I'm out on this one. Just bought a lake property and that will be the first weekend that I have to use it. Got me a Caribbean Island floating raft and will be spending countless hours floating in the sun with cold brewski's packed in it's built in coolers.

[Meck77]

Congrats on the lake deal Bum! Do the blondes come with the boat?
I left you a message via FB recently.

My plan was to fly out being that I'm knee deep in ranch projects but with everyone dropping out I'm going to put mine up for sale as well.

If someone needs a pair of tix drop me a line.

[crawdad]

Well, Meck, here's to hoping that you will be at MileHigh with the bus (or not) come September 19th!

[27atwater]

damn fellas...i was just diagnosed w/ leukemia and i'm still goin...

[broncobum6162]

damn fellas...i was just diagnosed w/ leukemia and i'm still goin...

You are kidding, Right? I hope that the leukemia part isn't true buddy.....

[27atwater]

unfortunately it is true (wouldn't joke about that), but all is goin well so far.

[broncosteven]

So is it just going to be me, Moops and 27Atwater or is anyone else going?

[Hogan11]

unfortunately it is true (wouldn't joke about that), but all is goin well so far.

Very sorry to hear of this, hopefully things will continue to go well for you.

I'm so sorry to hear of your ill health.....Hope it continues to get better! :thumbsup:

[studbucket]

Myself and another fan are flying from Seattle to Baltimore, then carpooling to Ohio. We'll be there, and hopefully we can get some MileHighReport folks to throw a party (head honcho of site lives in Cleveland).

I should have checked out their site more, they seemed to be actually interested about Floyd over there.

I PMd you my cel # on the broncosforums.

[27atwater]

Thanx for the kind words fellas. I am alarmed at the limited number of travelers for this one.

Kev...you still in? Haven't heard from ya in a while.

[Meck77]

Not sure how booked the motels are but I also have a motel reserved for a couple nights that someone could use. It's at the local motel 6 but cheap! Also, still have two tickets to the ceremony.

27 I wish you the best.

[27atwater]

Thanx Meck!
