Pro Football Hall of Fame - Canton, Ohio

[@michael7054]

Great video! I went there a long time ago and liked it a lot. I loved the busts. Great memories. I loved watching this. I remember the restaurant there too.

[@TheTolleRoad]

Such a cool museum. They also have a couple of films they show that I couldn't record.

[@michael7054]

@@TheTolleRoad Yeah. It really is!

[@rockycoyote]

Hey Tolle, Jim Thorpe, one of the greatest athletes of all time, played for and coached the Oorang Indians, making LaRue, Ohio, the smallest town ever to have been the home of an NFL franchise. The Oorang Bang festival is still held in LaRue. I knew a guy who lived by the practice field and would carry water to the team as a little boy ;>}

[@TheTolleRoad]

I will have to look into this!

[@buckeyeguy82]

Glad to see you made it to the Hall of Fame. It's one of the best museums in Canton, if not Ohio itself. The busts are my favorite exhibit there, along with the old school gear/uniforms. The power lines are a nice touch to the area too. Great video Tolle!

[@TheTolleRoad]

Couldn't agree more... great museum! There is a great channel called The Road Ahead that visited the Hall of Fame Village recently. lol

[@buckeyeguy82]

@@TheTolleRoad If memory serves me right, there is a channel by that name & he was there in April...lol. Thanks for the plug buddy!

Great tour of the HOF. Back in 1997 I did a football trip where I visited the Pro Football HOF, then went on to see a Notre Dame game in South Bend. At that time they had the College Football HOF there too. What a cool place that was with all the great video and broadcast calls, and listening to the fight songs.

[@TheTolleRoad]

Very cool! I know it was near King's Island for years before moving to South Bend. I had always kept saying I was going to visit it when it was at both of those spots but never did. Then when they move it all the way to Atlanta, I finally ended up visiting in back in like 2018 or 2019.

[@wiejdbdhddb]

I played at the hall of fame back in 2017 in a tournament. Great times.

[@TheTolleRoad]

@@wiejdbdhddb had to be a great experience. Just knowing who else has played there and having the HoF right in the background.

[@wiejdbdhddb]

@TheTolleRoad yeah it was pretty cool. It was a national tournament. Hopefully my senior year my class will get to go back there and play for state title

[@UnkleHeavy]

Wow, so many things I loved about this video I don't know where to start! The HOF busts were amazing, I could have spent all day looking in there. I really loved rushing records display. It's so cool how they used the smashed glass dividers in between record setters! The power poles at the end was a nice touch! Excellent video Tolle!!!!!

[@TheTolleRoad]

Loved the power poles myself! Wanted to share a few more of the busts but there are just too many to give them all the time they deserve.

[@LivingtheSilverLife]

What a great museum for football lovers. So many all time favorite athletes. Jim Thorp is one of my favs. 2,000 career extra points. Cool. Nope, always go with stupid. 😂😂. All those busts were quite impressive. Yes, Emit Smith, another favorite. Nice!

[@TheTolleRoad]

Thorpe was the first true superstar of sports.

[@WaysideWade]

Wonder if those power poles are 100 yards apart...🧐

[@TheTolleRoad]

Would've measured it but that traffic was a bitch.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

🏈Enjoyed!!!!!!!!!! 🏈

[@TheTolleRoad]

Thanks!

[@offthebeatenpath9248]

Kaden and I enjoyed our trip there at end of last year got to see the Lombardi trophy that my team almost won . Glad you shared the rings I didn't get a chance to see them up close since everybody and their brother stood there for ever. I loved learning about the early years of football. Great episode buddy

[@TheTolleRoad]

The main man Kaden! Always tough with a bunch of people around.

[@TravelingTramps]

They must have had big noses back then in the Indoor League, Tolle. Now, big heads! Our diva headed to New York. Enjoyed seeing Jim Brown who just recently passed and all the other wonderful displays. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@TheTolleRoad]

You seem to replace Hall of Famers with Hall of Famers in Green Bay though.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Been there a couple times… most recently a few years ago for a Hall of Fame induction… always a good time!

[@RoadiewithRich]

You covered one of my bucket list things! I am getting old when I remember almost everyone of the 2023 class playing career. John Madden says the busts talk to each other at night. Awesome video!

[@TheTolleRoad]

I'm right there with you on that.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Never pass up an opportunity to look stupid 😂 👍 Cool museum 😎

[@TheTolleRoad]

I have a perfect record on doing that!

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Nice to see the Johnny Unitas jersey displayed! We’re good family friends with his widow & daughter.

[@TheTolleRoad]

Way too cool! Johnny U is an absolute legend.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

That program from the first pro-bowl game was really neat looking!

[@crzystx6377]

I went like 3 years ago but i need to go again!! Bucket list item checked off for me, for sure.

[@TheTolleRoad]

Really cool and well laid out museum. Not the cheapest place in the world but worth checking out for any real football fan.

[@crzystx6377]

@@TheTolleRoad yes i agree! Watching the video, i think they might have added some things cause there were some things i didn’t see when i went

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

Like the goal posts electric lines! Never have been to the NFL hall of fame but that needs to change now. That place looked awesome! PrimeTime! PrimeTime! Go 49ers!!!

[@TheTolleRoad]

PrimeTime! lol... knew you'd love that part.

[@SantosChronicles]

The Pro Football Hall of Fame is something Still need to see. Thanks for the preview. But I didn’t like the stories of my Bears not doing well. One of my prized possession is a signed Gayle Sayers football. I was able to meet him when I was in Vegas. Many years was spent playing Madden.

[@TheTolleRoad]

Lots of great Bears stuff in there though. So cool you got Sayers autograph! The Brian's Song movie was a great one.

When I went there in 2017 that O.J. statue was pretty beat up and was on the bottom row. They weren't maintaining it at all, but now they've polished it up.

[@TheTolleRoad]

That's funny. I wonder what made them change their upkeep on it.

[@marklendhurst1193]

The 1980s USFL display was the best part at the end.

[@TheTolleRoad]

I was glad to see that too. That league was actually serious competition for the NFL and some serious stars playing in it.

[@OffRampAdventures]

Touch down with this one, Tolle!

[@TheTolleRoad]

Thanks... usually I fumble.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

That square toe!

[@ENIGIZERb]

A visit to the HOF was 25 bucks in 2017,, now it's $45 in 2024. Soon, you'll have to be wealthy or at least upper middle class to do anything in this country. $25 to visit LeBron's little Musium on Market Street in Akron.

[@jacktheripoff1888]

2017 was my last visit. $25 sounds right, they also stuck me for $20 to park. My family went to the hall of fame games before I was born (1967). The games were on Saturday at about 2PM, the inductions were held before the game and the speeches were made in the front of the building. That stadium was about as high school as it gets. But in the 70's / early 80's they were great times. I remember in the late 70's it cost like 6 bucks to get in, 3 for children, and 4 for seniors.

[@JustCallMeAnnie]

Like #17 🎉

[@TheTolleRoad]

You rock!

[@SorgiStories]

You need a little more John Facenda in your voice when you’re at the Hall. Yes, Ken Riley belongs! RIP Jim Brown. Thorpe, Brown, Bo Jackson. Maybe the three best athletes ever. On the same day Paul Hornung scored five TDs to help the Packers beat Baltimore, Gale Sayers scored six. The busts talk to each other at night. John Madden said so. So who wins, Ditka or a flash flood? But what if it’s named Flash Flood Ditka? Nick Foles! #PhillyPhilly We need Zebras. And all the jerseys. REGGIE!

[@TheTolleRoad]

Facenda I am not.

[@SorgiStories]

@@TheTolleRoad I’ll help out if you need.

7:56 THE GOAT !! I SHARE A BIRTHDAY with him and Michael Jordan....wild. and imma browns fan, i randomly got the number 32 in 2nd grade my first year of flag football and my dad and everyone kept telling me i got jim browns number and i learned who he as and hes been my favorite ever since and i was reading a book on him in 5th grade and halfway thru the book it talked about his birthday and i almost shitted in my pants when i saw it was Feb 17th the same as mine !!

[@TheTolleRoad]

February 17th! Crazy that 2 of the best ever at their sport have the same birthday.

[@gunny7769]

9:48 it was only "smashed" cuz jim brown only played 10 games a season...Peyton needed 16 games to beat jim browns record...no man has ever beat jims record for the most rushing yards in the 1st 10 games of the szn...that record still stands and if jim had 6 more games or 7 games like they do today...hed have the record.

[@TheTolleRoad]

Brown retired real young too. He was still at the top of his game when he left and easily had 5-10 great years left in him.

[@gunny7769]

Troy has the best bust in there hahaha comin from a Browns fan too..but thats fire haha

[@TheTolleRoad]

Believe me... I have no love for Troy either. Mainly because he wasn't on my team though. That guy was a beast.

[@WaysideWade]

You're right in the meaty middle of the shortest and tallest there, Tolle. 🦾📺

[@TheTolleRoad]

I wonder if those two every had to square off against each other in a game. That's a sight I'd like to see.
