Does anyone know when they first played a HOF Game and is this the first time that they have cancelled the event . I believe there have been weather delays (Lightning) in the past , but I can't recall the game ever being cancelled . That grounds crew will never live this one down !
If your not the lead dog , then the view never changes !
The game was ended in the 3rd quarter once (2003) due to lightening, and one other time (1980) it was ended midway through the 4th quarter for the same reason. Interestingly, the Packers were in both of those games as well. It should be obvious that the Packers should not be scheduled for the HoF game.Originally Posted by Radagast
The real reason the game was called off yesterday. They didn't even know who was playing, let alone how to spell it.

I think they spelled that correctly. They were going up against the mighty Busboys that day.

Some fans are suing for travel expenses to the HOF game. I think they are way full of it. Nobody invested in that travel just to watch a third-stinger scrimmage; they were there for the HOF events. it's also really hard to pin the exact blame of negligence of the paint's chemical breakdown. Who specifically should have been able to foresee this calamity? It's more a shit happens event.

Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Some people sue at the drop of a hat. It's ridiculous.
That question ("Who specifically should have been able...") can be matched by another one: who specifically spends money to travel from WI to OH to see a football HOF inauguration? It's like staying home to watch the Pro Bowl.
We were gonna drive up for the weekend. Used to go to Akron all the time on business. Took one look at the price gouging they do for the HOF weekend and passed. I've been to the HOF several times. It's neat, but about half as good as the baseball HOF in Cooperstown.
The differences you point are are similar to the differences in the two sports. Cooperstown; laid back, small town right on Lake Otsego, oozes charm, idyllic, quiet. Canton; working class, rust belt, bigger town, not nestled, right off the interstate, noisy.
I like them both, but I'm with you, I think the BBHOF wins out. There's a place in Wisconsin that reminds me of Cooperstown, NY; New Glarus. It's one of my favorite places in WI. Good brew too.

Rand was going I believe.
Also, just like baseballs' entire origin story, Cooperstown as the birthplace of baseball is probably baloney. But its a myth in service of a great place to have a HoF.

How much were tix? Was there only one package for inauguration and game?
Yeah, PB, most people believe Alexander Cartwright https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Cartwright was the "father of baseball" and not Abner Doubleday, who is from Cooperstown, NY. Since he is from NYC, had he been originally declared the originator of modern baseball, the BBHOF would likely be in NYC.

Abner Doubleday also gets credited erroneously for firing the first shot in the Civil War in some histories. He was at Fort Sumter.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

i hope the nfl gets bent over a barrel on this one
sure a lot of the people were probably there for the inductions, but that was the day before. those people would have still had to get a room for an extra night. theres almost a hundred bucks wasted
the people in the stadium weren't even told the game was cancelled until an hour and a half after the rest of the world knew it was cancelled. pry 10-20 bucks per person spent on concessions during that time
not to mention they were pry charged for parking
not to mentioned missed work. if there was no game, people could have gotten home sunday, instead they drove home monday
all because of gross incompetence by the ground crew and NFL. this shot should have been done right, and way in advance
the NFL makes billions off of the fans, and treats us like walking dollar signs. time for them to show the fans some respect for once
hell goddell could pay for all that out of his pocket without even knowing it was gone
^^^yup, time to pay up you incompetent boobs^^^
it was just high priced and pretty much bullshit.
I agree with CP, Cooperstown is so sweet. Reminds me of the Green Lake area in Wisco.
The PFHOF is pretty cool, but it is in Akron Canton.
I will probably go back one more time.
Goin' to the GB HOF in October.
That'll be fun.
