Thanks for the pics and the input. Hopefully I'll get a chance to make the trip one day during an induction weekend.Honestly I don't think it is...I think I took a pic from outside maybe you'll be able to tell how big it is...I didn't go upstate jus for that...if I did I wudda been a lil disappointed...
I think the ONLY great time to be there is during Induction weekend which is in June...
Nobody was there when I went...there isn't anything there I would say you HAVE TO SEE...but I was goin up anyway so it was worth a stop by...
Plenty more pics comin...Comment

You can buy a lot of the signed memorabilia there...
The guy working there told me they're supposed to expand soon...but he really urged me to come back during induction weekend when everyone comes...he said Marvin Hagler is a regular along with Aaron Pryor...
Btw, there isn't **** ELSE IN CANASTOTA(or at least in that area) to do...or eat...hope u like McDonalds or some local spot...lol
They had the signed check from The Fight Of The Century as well(Ali and Frazier both made $2.5 million)Last edited by -EX-; 04-25-2010, 10:18 PM.Comment

Just finished reading up on why the HOF is Canastota. Thankfully someone took up the cause, it just sucks that it's way up in the boonies.You can buy a lot of the signed memorabilia there...
