Hi Supe,
So my wife and I went to both halls this week, they are both very well worth the visits.
There’s certainly more going on in Cleveland than in Canton, so as an overall activity for a couple/family, if I had to choose it would be Rock and Roll. Lots of very cool gear to see there and as you’d expect the presentations are absolutely top level.
But, the football was awesome especially for those like me who love the game itself and wanted to learn a lot more about the early days. Mostly they have exhibits, with lots of video screens giving 2 - 3 minute presentations on specific topics. There is a small theater with a 20 minute presentation that was good, especially if you are OK with the Namath experience (I actually like Joe, I like his cheerful style).
There is a good amount of Pats stuff and really not much on the last SB so no worries on that. Actually a pleasant surprise was that there was very little Goodell presence, and not as much Shula or Manning as I had expected.
Bottom line: take an extra day if you can and do both, you never know if you’ll have the chance again!

P.S., if you’re into the Shawshank Redemption you should also check out the Ohio State Reformatory, about an hour’s drive from Canton in Mansfield, OH, it’s a very interesting tour of the old,prison where they filmed a lot of the movie and the town nearby is a pleasant little place too
