Really impressed by the fact the lower bowl looks completely filled.....for a walk-thru. I love the Pats but I wouldn't go down there for a WALK-thru. BTW- further kudos to Pats fans who showed up to the induction ceremony and withstood a torrential downpour. I saw it on TV and there looked like it was well over 10,000 tucked into that little bowl by the HOF.
And on the induction ceremony, I though John Hannah's induction speech for Leon Gray was both heart felt and poignant and really spoke to the greatness of Leon Gray as well as to the sad fact those guys had to play under the wrong owner all those years ago.
Think about it. Image what guys like Grogan, Francis, Nelson, Sam, and Hannah, etc are thinking when they are watching today's version of the NE Patriots and how this operation is run.
BTW- if I were Bill I would have mandated that his entire 90 man squad watch the induction ceremony. I know it probably wasn't logistically possible because of meetings and practice preparations, but it would have been good to have them witness it, and then later have Bill say to them. "Every one of the guys in red jackets stood exactly where you are today and the only difference between you and them is what they DID with the opportunity you now have in your own hands. Now let's get out there and practice like Rodney Harrison would."
