International Boxing Hall of Fame...

Has anyone ever been there, or been present at an induction ceremony??
It's in Canastota New York. I've seen some videos on youtube and they always have lots of HOF fighters in attendance. I have made this a goal for 2010 since this years induction is in June and I can't make it this year. It's a 3 day event and well worth it so I read. I just wanted to know if anyone has been to it?

[-EX-]

I wanna go there one day...its so freakin far from me. Like 5-6 hours from me...and I live in New York.


Why the hell they had to put it way upstate? lol

i'm planning a trip in august to the boxing and baseball halls. both are within driving distance from albany, so we're just going to make a weekend out of it. and it's in canastota because it was originally made to honor carmen basilio.

To really enjoy it you need to go for induction weekend. If possible you should try to make it one year. The actual Hall itself on any other weekend is small & not that interesting.

yeah, i was just looking at info on the induction weekend. looks like it it would be hard for me to make it this year. i've had this trip to the baseball hall of fame planned for sometime now, and recently the idea came up to hit up the boxing HOF too. would you say it's not worth it?

Where are you coming from?
Boxing hall of fame can be seen in a few minutes. The place is smaller than your average house. If you take your time & read all the displays etc it may take you an hour maybe 1 1/2 at most.

I have been to Cooperstown twice & its cool. Alot of interesting shops etc around the actual Hall. You can easlily spend the whole day at Cooperstown.

Sorry just saw Albany. Thats not far at all is it? I would say its worth it & then the drive to Cooperstown is like an hour from Canastota I believe.
