Default Football Hall of Fame visit

I made my pilgrimage to Mecca today. After a odd situation where I locked my keys in my car outside of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, I entered, and was extremely impressed. I noticed how there were not very many Patriot-related things until you get to the "Super Bowl" portion of the museum, and then it was Patriot overload (hehe).

Anyone else been? Thoughts? Comments?

Pictures posted below!

I went last summer with my dad, who is a Packers fan, and it was a ton of fun; really makes you appreciate the entire history of the game. I caught a lot of flack from him going through the entire thing until the Super Bowl displays and then I was able to gloat. I loved it, the whole experience. A ton of fun and I recommend it to any football fan.

I went in 03, I think. They had a nice display of paraphenalia from sb36.

There was a room where there was a circle of displays and each display reped a team. I remember seeing weeb ewbanks film projecter in the Jets section.
The Pats display was a tiny strip with mentions of Hannah, Mike Haynes and surprisingly Nick Buoniconti.
Behind the Pats display was the Packers display and that was no little strip.
It even had a bench that was on the field for Lombardi's last game there.
It was a great experience for me.
Congrats on your visit.

Walter Payton exhibit




Patriots part of the AFL exhibit


John Hannah's Hall of Fame Bust (sorry, no Haynes. My G/F apparently didn't realize she needed to take a picture of that, instead, i have a picture of Don Shula and Terry Bradshaw. I guess she thinks they are cute old men or something)

Rings, obviously.



This is the exhibit about the streak. This was really cool to see, even though I knew about each game, it was cool to relive it.
