It was worthwhile, but I enjoyed the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame more. I visited both on the same day. My favorite highlights at the PFHoF other than some memorabilia from some of my favorite players or from significant historical events were the Lombardi Trophy that will be awarded to the next Super Bowl winner, the Super Bowl ring collection, and the round 1 draft cards from the previous NFL draft.

If you like memorabilia, it’s a really cool place. My college team stayed there and did our Friday walk through on the hall of fame game field on our way to a game in Cleveland. It was a really cool trip at the time being there with all my teammates. That said, I don’t think I would ever plan on going back unless I was somehow in the area.

That game was one of my first memories of living in America. I had an Elway poster in my room that I begged mother to purchase for me soon after (it was procured at a small, brightly lit sports apparel shoppe in the "Jax" (Jackson) Brewery. This poster, along with a pair of fuzzy, bright, orange-coloured Denver Broncos sweatbands and a(n) American-style "baseball" cap.


Are your british character and your TulaneLSU character battling for control of your psyche?

Still the Cleveland Indians. Guardians sounds just as good as the Commanders.

I went a week after Leonard Fournettes jersey was put in there for the records he broke as a rookie. It was awesome.

It’s a lot of fun.

Not as good as the baseball Hall of Fame, but definitely worth a visit.

No it isn't. 900 people strong when I lived there. A train crossing, a 3 way stop, a gas station and an IGA when I grew up there.

We went the day before Saints @ Steelers last year. Really cool, pay a little extra to take the tour. Our tour guide was awesome and had multiple stories about different players and whatnot that were not in the exhibits. Also told stories about every team that was represented in our tour group. He had taken Brees and his family on a private tour a few weeks prior because one of Drew's sons wanted to go to the HOF for his birthday.

Like others said I wouldn't plan a whole vacation over it but if you are within a few hours its def worth the drive.

We plan on going back for Drew's HOF Induction. Hopefully the new tourism development is done by then. Their plans sounded pretty cool.

I was just there a couple weeks ago. Kind of depressing driving by the old IGA.

Took a trip while working in Cleveland and it's worth a morning visit for a few hours .. i did a double header with Falling Waters to balance it out a bit. Then headed to Pittsburgh for a long weekend.

Took a slight detour on a summer road trip to visit the HOF. If it is close on a planned trip, make the stop, bit I would not make the HOF the primary reason for the trip north. At least I can now say, “Yes, I’ve been to the HOF”.
