Default Reserve Parking Spots for HOF events NOW!!

We have a parking lot right at the stadium at the famous Parking Czars!! The cost is $20 per car each day. If you want to reserve one of these spots you must do so before August 4th. Parking will be a zoo this year!! I cannot emphasize this enough!!

PayPal to coach@miniaturefootball.org and specify Saturday Enshrinement or Sunday HOF Game or both. You cannot beat these parking spaces. You may find cheaper, but they will be a loooong walk away and they will still be $15 -$10!

You may also reserve for other days as well if you plan on visiting the Hall of Fame.

Trust me you do not want to pass this parking deal up!!

Is parking for the hall of fame going to be a problem for thursday ? I was taking the kids and wanted to know how busy it might be ?
How far is this parking deal from the H.O.F. ? I have not been to the H.O.F. since the late 70's and I am sure it has changed since then .

I went on Thursday last year. It was somewhat crowded (lots of kids) but no where near as crowded as Friday or Saturday will be. So good move going on Thursday. As for parking, they have a free lot about 1/2 mile from the HOF, with free shuttles to the HOF. It worked pretty well.

Default PARKING INFORMATION

This is sort of a take off on Lynn's post. All of the homes surrounding the stadium offer parking at varying costs (usually $5-$30, depending on location, & the event). As Ned mentioned there are also free lots a distance away (I'm not familiar w/these), but I would assume if your visiting on a particular busy day the lines & wait will be long to fit on the shuttles, non-busy days probably not so much.

Dan (The Parking Czar, as he has been labeled) is a friend of mine. His house & parking are on the west side of the stadium directly up the street from the Hall of Fame (less than a 5 minute walk, literally), since the location is so good/convenient it tends to fill up quickly. He charges $20/car-truck/day on Saturday, Enshrinement Day & also on Sunday, Game Day. On Thursday (as Jeff was inquiring) or Friday he also has parking available at reduced rates. He told me if you tell him your with the MFCA it would cost between $5-10 (not sure what differentiates the pricing, but you get the idea). Heck, he may even give you a better deal on those early days. Dan is a great guy, very personable, but he takes his parking very SERIOUSLY, meaning your vehicle will be looked after, as I'm sure some coaches on here can attest. So while you have choices to park, you can't beat this location, especially for GAME DAY, because the tailgate party we put on is at his house, convenience at its finest.

His address is:

Dan Villella
2407 21st Street NW
Canton, OH 44708

Any other questions can be directed to this post & I will try to answer.

Its normally about a 10 minute drive, but during high traffic times of people getting to the HOF & the stadium would be more. If your planning on visiting the Hall on Thursday, you won't run into much traffic, approx. 10 minutes.

I gave Danny the head's up on saving you that front spot right next to the intersection for the Cowboy's Mustang, but yes it will be $40 for both of the days you mentioned.

As far as cigars.... well you know we're good there. Actually I just received shipment of (2) boxes yesterday that will be shared w/all MFCA attendees. Get ready, hell we're only a WEEK away from Wolf coming into town.
