      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 !

        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.

          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.

                      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.
