Default Nice job Wolf

In getting this put together early. Here is some brief info on Massillon:

A little about Massillon-

If you know or have ever heard of Massillon, it's probably because of football. High school football is king here. Massillon has a population of just a touch over 30,000 yet our stadium holds almost 20,000. So strong is the tradition and history, that baby boys at Massillon's hospital are given a miniature football at birth. A downtown mural by artist Eric Grohe depicts the city's football history.
Massillon Facts-

>Massillon has 22 state football titles

>3rd in the USA in victories, behind #1 Valdosta Ga. & #2 Male, KY.

>17,000 seat stadium named after Paul Brown

>Has played before more than 8 million fans since inception

>Has played Canton 116 times, winning 63, losing 49 and 5 ties

>For historical information, visit MassillonTigers.com

The Hampton is located in the downtown area of Massillon (we're talking about a 5 red light area downtown). There are eateries, stores, shops, bars, etc. all located w/in walking distance of the hotel.

Like Lynn stated the Stearn Center is about a 10 -15 minute drive away (10 miles), and the Airport is about a 20 minute drive away (12 miles).
