Is the boxing hall of fame any good?

[dans]

I've never been there before and I'm contemplating the four and a half hour drive. Has anyone been or knows if it's any good?

I plan to go there one day...bout a 4-5 hour drive from me...

Its pretty cool. I dunno if its worth the drive. I went with my old man, when we are up at Syracuse for a basketball tourney.

Its worth the drive if you go for induction week wich is the second week of June. The also have 1 or 2 other events the rest of year. But the Hall itsefl is small and can be seen in a half hour. I would say plan ahead and go next June & it will be worth the 4 or 5 hour drive. I fly from Cali every year for it.



Here are a few pics from 2 weeks ago. These are from rising star event on Friday night.

Cool thanks for the pictures. I think I'll plan to make a trip there and a few other places, to make it worth it.

Thanks for the responses.

Remember Dan, wait til induction week. Cooperstown is like an hour away from Canastota. Some years we go there a day before HOF.




Here's some stuff I got while at induction week this year.
