We’ve hinted at it a couple times in previous posts, but we’re now making it official. Zoneblitz.com will be heading to Canton, Ohio for the Hall of Fame induction ceremony in early August.

We’re making a week-long road trip out of the trip. Check brushbackpitch.com for a more detailed accounting of where we’ll be headed, as much of the trip will be dedicated to baseball-related activities as well.

But on the football front, we’re planning on arriving in Cleveland on the morning of Friday, August 7 with hopes and plans of touring Cleveland Browns Stadium. We wandered around the outside of the stadium while visiting the city of Cleveland during a previous road-trip. From the outside it’s an impressive looking venue, but we weren’t there during a time when tours were available. So we’re excited about that opportunity.

On Saturday, we’re planning on getting to the Hall of Fame early – it’ll be my third time there and my brother’s second time.

We’ll be arriving to see the opening of the new, $2.4 million Lamar Hunt Super Bowl Gallery. After the ceremony it’s off to Pittsburgh for the rest of the trip, the focus of which will switch largely from football to baseball.

During this week-long trip, we’ll be doing some brainstorming on possible additions and/or changes to Zoneblitz.com. We’re also building in at least short chunks of time throughout the trip to fit in some other sites and sounds of the U.S. If anyone has thoughts and suggestions on either what we should look for during the trip or on what we could do to improve the blog, please feel free to leave us a comment.

Who knows? If this goes well, maybe we’ll make this an annual thing.

Thanks for reading.
