Thanks. Having fun there is a given. Wish everybody could make it there. My first visit was a couple of years ago after years of hoping to get there. It was like going on a HAJ to Mecca. The HOF itself, as a building, didn't impress me overly much. I was expecting there to be a large boxing research library, and was disappointed on that score, but the aura surrounding induction weekend, the total immersion with the sport, and the approachability of the fighters and ex-fighters combine into an awesome experience. The fighters are all generally happy to be there and really appreciative of the boxing fans who come. Wereinto collecting autographs I could have gathered scores of them without working up a sweat. It's just an incredible time.
