I had been to the Pro Football Hall of Fame before, but I had to go back for Andre Tippett's Induction. It was the first time I ever experienced an induction and despite my bad seat, I was just glad to be there. There's no greater accomplishment for a pro player than to be enshrined with other legends and achieve immortality in the history of the sport.
Tippett received that honor and it was wonderful as a Pat fan to be there. Unfortunately I was one of few New England fans in attendance. I swear I saw enough Patriots jerseys to count on two hands, but I wouldn't get up to 10. With the number of Washington Redskins fans in attendance for Art Monk and Darrell Green, this ceremony looked like it took place in FedEx Field.
But my visit wasn't only for the Football Hall. I spent my time in Cleveland. 
I must say it's a great little city. Five attractions are within walking distance. Their science museum was book-ended by Cleveland Browns Stadium to the left and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the right.
On the other side of the city is Progressive Field (formerly Jacobs Field. Damn naming rights. Since Progressive bought the right to name the stadium, why not go with Progressive Park?), home of the Indians, and the Quicken Loans Arena, where the Cavaliers play (the logo is in the background to the left).
The real treat was the tour of Progressive Park for only $7.50. It took an hour long and took the group through the luxury boxes, visiting clubhouse, visiting dugout, onto the track behind home plate, and by the indoor batting cages.
Unfortunately Cleveland Browns Stadium doesn't have daily tours. Interested parties had to call a week in advance for a half-hour tour. You kidding me? I want to know what's worth planning a week ahead to see in Cleveland Browns Stadium.
I must say that the City of Cleveland is a cool little city. It's uncongested and clean. The locals care about their city since, with the exception of cigarette butts, there was very little trash and I didn't see graffiti. And walking to and from the hotel I felt safe. It was my first extended experience in a city besides Boston and I'm very impressed.
Before I left, I did go to Patriots camp.[File does not exist] I had to check in because the next time I would see them is the first preseason game. While I did enjoy Cleveland, it doesn't compare to my love for the home teams.
