I am thinking of organizing a sports road trip this summer to hit up all three major Hall of Fames on one trip as I have never been to any of them. Are they worth it? (I assume Cooperstown will be awesome but not sure about the others) Sound doable? Any advice?

I'd like to hit up a few different mlb parks.

I went to the NFL HoF in the fall of 2009 on the way back from a Bills game (not my team of choice). It was a great experience & I wouldn't mind going again and being able to spend more than 2-4 hours there.

Baseball HOF is awesome. Been twice and would love to go again. A true baseball fan could spend a week in the museum and Cooperstown is just a great little town to walk around in. A bunch of awesome little stores mostly dedicated to baseball. It is truly worth the trip IMO.

The thing that got me with Cooperstown is that I never realized the actual HOF was just the plaques of all the players, no pictures/jerseys, etc. All of that is in the separate museum. I had always pictured it as a big museum with the plaques near the player memorabilia. The actual HOF is not really even that big, maybe the size of a small church.

Ha...I actually did Cooperstown, Canton, and....wait for it.....the USA soccer hall of fame in one trip. It was on a lame family trip to Niagra Falls and then back down a different route (which is how we hit Canton).

Cooperstown was great...if not for the HOF (which is nice on it's on), but the small town of Cooperstown is really nice. I was a big soccer player and a kid, so the soccer HOF was nice because they had all this fun interactive shit you could do. Canton was cool too.

But I was a kid. I wouldn't imagine wasting any vacation time doing shit like that right now. Hit it up if you're near one of those places for a wedding/visiting family/etc.

Time to take some grown-up vacations.

Cooperstown is awesome. Little town right on a lake with a pretty nice typical Northeast small downtown. Ommegang is right near by too...

If you haven't been to Florida/Arizona for spring training, definitely look into that.

Warm weather, day games, small stadiums, big-league action in an intimate setting. What's not to love.

Yeah, spring training is definitely on the list.

Hmmm, I wonder if I could do all three HOF and Montreal on the same trip...

Weak.


Bottom line is that I would never waste a vacation where HOF's were the focal point or even a major point of the vacation. And I don't dislike a HOF. But to me they are, "hey, we're going to be close to Cooperstown while visiting in the in-laws in upstate New York, let's take a day off and check it out"...types of visits.

Spring Training is a different story.
