Pro Football Hall of Fame Trip – August 1-4, 2008 – Monk & Green Induction & Skins vs. Colts Game

At an event like this with tons of skins fans around we need to wear WP gear! I gotta check out the store and make sure to get a Tshirt to wear around Canton!

I wish my schedule would allow me to go. My son will be in summer wrestling and not sure when or where tournaments will be. Guess got to be patient and wait for regular season.

I kind of like the idea of the old timers suiting up and playing. They could wheel Sammy Baugh out and I bet he could still sling it farther than either Kilmer or Jurgenson. Just a chance to actually see Charley Taylor or Larry Brown running down the sideline would be a treat. We would need a doctor for every player of course. My prediction: Moseley toes a 45 yard fieldgoal with 5 seconds left to embarrass Jim Sorgi and the 3rd string Colts 27-24...Joe Washington and Monty Coleman named Co-MVPs.

HOF game tickets go on sale Monday, April 14th...

2008 HOF Game tickets to go on sale! - Pro Football Hall of Fame (http://www.profootballhof.com/hall/story.jsp?story_id=2704)

I've had mine for months but I bought a package deal. We need to compile a list and keep it updated on where everyone is staying so that we can try to have a WP party.

Man i wish i could afford this, my birthday is during the trip even. But the $$ I would spend can get me to 3 games at Fedex. Second thought maybe I will just book Darrell green to play golf one day from his darrell green enterprises website.

That would be good if you didn't have to go down to VA to leave for OH. The other one for $375 is looking good, and I'll just drive.


Looks like they leave from all over the DC metro area:

Frederick
Ellicott City
Greenbelt
Leesburg VA
Hagerstown
Gaithersburg

[scroll down on Departure Location]...

I'm seriously considering this if I can convince one of my buddies to go (or the girl which is highly unlikely).

i'll be heading to michigan that week, convinced my girl to drive down to Canton ! I'm a little gun shy on getting tickets to the HOF ceremony ... anybody have a good link or site .. i've looked on ebay and stubhub but they seem to only have seats really far away from the stage .. either way .. what's the status on a Friday night party ???

How much would it cost if one were to try to get on now?

This is the place I bought my package through:
Sports Travel and Tours: Road Trips, Sports Tours, Sports Trip, Sporting Events, Sports Ticket Packages (http://www.sportstravelandtours.com/tripsdetail.cfm?id=427)
We bought the 'Fantasy Football' package for $375 per person. It includes:

Probably paid more than buying tickets individually but seemed much easier and less of a hassle to just buy it all in a package. Leaving Friday and coming home Monday and we are driving. We can't wait.
