DaKCMan- It was you sitting in the same row as me for the ceremony, right? I know someone from here was.

Yeah I think we're the same row.

You're going to the ceremony, aren't you? With Dole?

Hunt was old, but I wouldn't classify him as a dinosaur...

that sounds like a good idea. I'm not sure if I could handle that much time in the car though.

That's one of the reasons I think we are going through the Hall Saturday AND again on Sunday morning to see DT's display and what we missed on Saturday. I've heard you can easily spend more than one day in the museum.

That's what I figured, but I really want to see his bust there. I may have to try & fit in another visit on Sunday if it's not in. I was thinking that maybe it would be there for all the people who could only be there for Saturday. The hall closes early for the ceremony, so I thought maybe they'd have the busts there on Saturday, then move them to the stadium after closing for the enshrinement.

Whatever, I guess it would make the ceremony more "special" if the first time anyone saw the bust was when they unveiled them during speeches.

I'll be in Cleveland on Friday and will drive to Canton on Saturday morning. More than the ceremony, I just want to see the museum, so I hope it's not closing too early. I'd be up (with the wife) to meet up with some people on Saturday evening.

I assumed the ceremony would be the "unveiling".

But I wouldn't be completely surprised if the busts were there Saturday, since most people are traveling home Sunday. I just think it would take some of the luster away from the ceremony if the busts had already been seen by half the attendees.

I have a feeling the museum will be packed to the max saturday. and probably sunday (although the HOF game is going on sunday)

**Rain Man** · 08-03-2009, 07:44 PM

Yeah, that's my worry. In fact, I almost decided to come the next weekend. I don't really need to hear speeches, but I really want to see Jim Thorpe's gear and Red Grange's helmet and film of the Monsters of the Midway. I decided to come this weekend, though, in the hopes that there would be real HoFers wandering around, which would be cool.

It closes at 5pm, IIRC.

It will probably be packed, but if you get there when it opens (8am) you could have up to 9hrs there, which I would think is enough time regardless of the crowds.

I'm going to be there at 8 am then, because visiting the Pro Football Hall of Fame has been a dream of mine since I was Dante Hall's size.

during the Bills/Reskins super bowl, I asked my dad, "what does encroachment mean?" He said, "son, its time we visit the Football Hall of Fame...pack your suitcase."
