Click here for photos:  2013 HOF Game Photos

Hey, I wanted to pass along some photos from the game on Sunday.  Beautiful little facility with the museum and the field right next to it.  Got a nice high school "feel" to it, sitting right on top of the players and you can see a good deal. 

Got a chance to meet Larry Little and he signed our 70's mini helmet, which was cool.  Dwight Stephenson was there earlier in the day, but we got there around 1pm and we're just getting setup and he was already done. 

Museum was nice, but it was packed and tough to move around.  We only saw half of it and the area where the busts we at, the line to see was long, and we wanted to get into the stadium.

The uniforms are growing on me, but I still don't like the thick stripe down the helmet.  I believe it should be thinner and highlight a little more orange IMO.

I prob wouldn't go back again, only because it's alot of 2nd/3rd stringers and it was more for the whole spectacle of the HOF then a real football game.  But it was nice to see the new uniforms for the first time and get excited for the start of the NFL season.

Looking forward to a great season.  Alot of fans I talked to are really excited and expect a playoff bound team.  I do the same, NYJ and BUF are down and NE, while they wont go away, are a downgrade this year and MIA should be busting their ass to take advantage.

Go Phins!!!

Thanks Mike, it was a good time, especially since I took my son.

I haven't been to the game but I have visited the HOF.  Fortunately it wasn't during game week and we got to experience the whole thing rather peacefully.

I'm glad you and your son had a great time although I'm concerned the Ohio air must have gotten to you if the jerseys are growing on you!!  Cheesy

LOL, I guess I'm just resigned to the fact that it is, what it is.  Ultimately, I would have liked them to tweak the previous uniform with regards to the logo, but kept the same color scheme. 

The designers had so much potential with this uniform change, but failed.

in 2005 Philly, Tony, and I went to Canton to see Marino get inducted.  It was madness but it was an experience I wouldn't trade in. 

Glad you got to go hordman.  Its 10x better when you have a favorite player getting inducted.  I will likely go back when the next Dolphin gets in (JT?).

I seem to remember a pic of Tony and his girlfriend from that trip.  Grin

I remember that trip, and it's awesome when you have multiple "favorite players" being inducted, like 2005, when I got to cheer on Dan Marino AND Steve Young in the same HoF class.

Yep, we hung out with you and the rest of the crew at several points that weekend. I made the trip with my buddy Rey Monzon, but we hooked up with you guys in the Hall itself, in the museum and at the game. I had a fucking blast the entire weekend!

And yeah, I definitely rocked both of my TDMMC shirts during that trip. Got tons of laughs and comments about them from the other fans.

I feel the same way about the ugly uniforms. I kinda knew this was going to happen.  They are growing on me, but I may be the last jackass to go buy the new jersey. I dont think it too bad of a look.  But my wife did make fun of it while we were watching it on tv. She was like OMG the Fins looks so bright on TV.

^^^ No, I had a pair of the orange shirts, one with the sleeves removed.

My orange one has gone to shreds. I get asked about my teal one a lot. I would really like a new model as well.
