HOF exhibit at NY's American Museum of Natural History (http://espn.go.com/magazine/wulf_20020314.html)

If I heard it right, they are selling tickets for this - not by date, but by date and time slot.

So, if you want to go, and the ticket you have says you can come on 3/18 from 1 to 2 PM, you have to be there at 1 PM - or else, you don't get in.

I think this may limit those who go.

Nice to see the HoF has some of its stuff out on exhibit. It would have been nice to have picked a city in the Midwest, South, or West rather than a location just a three hour drive away. On the other hand I guess it made the logistics easier.

Boomer - I could be wrong, but, I think this is a road show. Could come your way?

Boomer -- it is a roadshow and they are hitting some places in the midwest...here's the link with the schedule -- don't buy your popcorn yet -- doesn't hit Chicago until 2003! :D
