MFCA 2010 Convention planning-INPUT here!

[WEIRDWOLF]

We have started discussions already. Any input from MFCA Members is welcomed. The initial thinking is we are going to try for a hotel with enough space for all. Possibly closer to Cleveland airport (40 min drive to Canton) That way we can still catch the game, enshrinement and tailgate party without too much trouble and expense yet keep us all together in one place.

I think we will add 1 day to the convention and have a MFCA tournament! Seeding to be determined by the MFCA league results which was voted in at the business meeting. The tourney may require an entry fee to pay for the higher expense of the hotel banquet rooms.

Any one have connections to the Rock and Roll HOF? I already got a restaurant pegged near the Browns stadium for some eats run by the son of "the Man in the Brown suit" (read your Brown's history for that one)

None of this is in stone, until the Board of Directors is firmed up and we vote on the ideas.

Let's here from those who were there so that we can get this thing done in the next month or so.

My stepson and I stayed at the LaQuinta Inn at exit 155 off of I-77 in Independence, OH. It was a short drive up to the Rock n Roll HOF and Browns stadium and also not far from the Brown's training camp in Berea.

Plenty of other Hotels in that area. It was fairly busy. Don't know if people were there for the HOF activities though. Very good rate too. $69.00 per night. Wasn't jacked up for the HOF.

I would like to offer Grand Rapids as a possible place. Much to do and see with a small town feel. I would even offer Lake Michigan as a possiblity. The guys could play EF and the ladies could go to the beach.
I would love nothing more then to show off my home town to everyone.

They start at 109 a night but I am quite sure a deal can be worked out. I shelled out 225 to stay at a nice room no food. We get a ball room and let the good times roll. All those people, doors open everywhere, free breakfast, and most important, a real happy hour. There is one near Cleveland. I would suggest looking into it. It has probably been the most successful venue for others, and the access would be more extensive because there would be no product to secure. If you are going to go why not first class. Just my thoughts.

Wolf here's my take.
1. Thurs. thru Sunday for the event. The extra day allows for the all games to be played without rushing.
2. A list of hotels near the event site ie. babe center is a good site that has more than Motel 6 near it. The Best Western across the street wasn't bad.
3. A secure internet hook-up. No more "Convention Gate" scandals.
4. Lastly a list of what is needed from the community to bring this thing to reality ie. cords, routers, food, drinks etc. We will help.
