CantonTom Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 As the head of the Canton, Ohio Bills Backers Club, I'd like to extend a warm welcome to any Bills fans who will be visiting Canton over the course of the next 10 days. If you are interested, the Canton Bills Backers have a great home at Loby's Grille, which is conveniently located about a mile down the road from the Hall Of Fame. They have specials running all week (25cent wings), cheap drinks, beautiful bartenders, and the best outdoor patio bar in Canton. I also have extra tickets for the game and would be more than willing to provide advice as to things to do in Canton, places to stay, etc...... Hope all goes well for us this season and looking forward again to the sounds of Buffalo Bills football.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted August 1, 2009 Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks for the info - is there anything specific before or after any of the events at the Hall? Lobys Bar & Grille (330) 479-9860 4736 Hills And Dales Rd NW Canton, OH 44708 http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Canton&a...ls+And+Dales+Nw
NWPABillsfan Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Yes I will be in Canton I saw some where that we should park some where and take the bus.But I can't find where that place was now. If some one that knows could give me some advice on this. Thanks for the advice in advance.
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Bump this thread. I'll be there next weekend with my fiancee and we're trying to figure out what our plan is going to be. We're planning on visiting the hall for a few hours early afternoon on Sunday but then need a place to grab some beers and some food before the game. Will there be a bunch of Bills fans at Loby's before the game? Is there parking near the stadium? Is tailgating allowed? Basically I'm a rookie as far as the hall goes and I just want to figure out what we should be doing next weekend to enjoy some food, beers, and fellow Bills fan company. Any specific suggestions would be appreciated.
OrangeJuiceSimpson Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Great info. This should be pinned so we can all go to one thread to get our info on what we are doing for Hall of Fame Weekend.
The_Philster Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Kenny told me to pass this info around The big tailgate is going to be at 2702 25th St NW, Canton, OH 44708-2503

The_Philster Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 at least the induction...he had been saying he wasn't going to the game but maybe he's changed his mind
Lori Posted August 2, 2009 Posted August 2, 2009 Whether or not he goes to the game, the tailgate is on for both days.

DelawareBillsFan Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 I have been to Loby's, the bar that the head of the Canton Bills Backers talked about. Great place. Should be fun times with lots of Bills fans in there. GO BILLS!!!!!!!

Lori Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 Pack shorts and sunscreen, folks -- although be advised that you can't take the latter inside the stadium. Latest forecast shows typical Enshrinement Weekend temperatures: highs in the mid-to-upper 80s and lows in the low 70s both days.
