Please be quiet and quit making stupid statements to make yourself look tough.

I almost always have a pocket knife or multi-tool on me, frequently more than one. I have carried an adult beverage into the state finals for over 20 years. I don't think either makes me look tough or an idiot, but I could be wrong.

At the state finals there are at least two unlocked gates and one unlocked door where an individual with a gun intent on doing harm would only have to overcome one unarmed (presumably minimum wage) security "guard." Maybe the "security" is not merely for show. Maybe they believe a yellow windbreaker has magic powers.

If you ever WENT to a major event in your life, outside of drunken trivia night with the rest of the gen-ed dropouts at the BW3 in Massillon, you'd know passing through security is typical at many events. You're getting "no reply" because your comment is "too stupid" to illicit replies.

Did you hear about all the terrible crime around the championships this weekend? People being robbed on the way to their cars? Roving gangs of thugs taking advantage of small town fans? Dope dealers offering drugs to junior high kids from Kirtland? Nope, me neither.
 
Great job by the Canton/HOF folks this past weekend, the stadium was nice, parking was a breeze, all the folks up there are very nice. Been there 4 times now (2001, 2002, 2009 and this past weekend) and those folks do a great job and I really can't say anything negative about the experience. Stadium is a lot nicer than when it was Fawcett.

Thanks to all the people that make this event possible from this grateful SWO football fan!
 
Went back to the state finals this year for the first time in about 10 years. I'm about a 3.5 hour drive away from Canton and had absolutely no dog in any of the fights. I will be returning for many years to come. The new stadium was first rate, parked right by the stadium for each game, workers were all extremely pleasant. My buddy and I had an absolute blast.

The stadium IS a lot nicer but it's because it's an NFL stadium. McKinley no longer has a stadium aND they use the NFL one. They have already been told that if they don't keep it nice they will be evicted.

Good to hear! It was a blast. Ive heard nothing but positive from people around the state. Canton hopes to be the site for many years to come.

Just as you have already been told you will never win a title on the field. Since you are so big on ownership of Stadiums. Do you guys have a hospital yet? And has that Stadium you guys "own" helped you win a title in ANY division in ANY sport? I think not. Mck won 2 on your field so maybe PBTS is really Fawcett West and we are the real landlords. ??‍♂️
 
He can't criticize the event or the venue. The playoffs were hosted with great efficiency. Much improved over the past couple times. So he has to try to find a negative. The number of playoff games hosted by Massillon this equals their number of titles. That's a lot of butt hurt.

Better try beating us on your field before you make wild claims.

Massillon is 2-0 vs the puppies there. Massillon has played 4 games there, each game the stadium was packed, (despite the ever growing possibility of crime in Canton). McKinley can't even fill a section when Massillon isnt in the header. Btw, when we played our regular season finale there this year, it was overcast, so thank you to whoever paid the $38,000 electric bill that was months behind.

When will Canton City school board put back the Memorial bricks that individuals paid for. These bricks were placed around stadium entrances. We had a large one placed at the old main gate....now nothing. Answeres are due to those thousands who bought these in memory of individuals who have such great impact on the Canton City school district.
 
The bricks are on the west side of the stadium as you walk in on a wall with all four high schools.

The Baseball Hall of Fame cancelled their induction for this summer. Will the Football Hall follow suit with the ceremony scheduled for a week later?

They will probably postpone it and try to do it during the centennial celebration they have planned Sept 17-19.
