I second that. They could use it for playoff games as well as hosting the championship games. The big question is whether it would be cost effective with year round maintenance, insurance etc.

If they would do it and be smart, they could still host big concerts and events there and that would recoup a lot. Rock on the Range does really well money wise.

I might actually go this year. In part due to not being able to see ANY of the games last year due to that lousy TV deal the OHSAA made. You know its bad when 70% of Ohio couldn't see the games. Anyways, been watching the finals since the early 2000s and last year made me realize how much I miss it. Also never been to Canton and the HOF so I can have that experience too.

For those who go I do believe they should be at a central locations.
With the price being what it is and the games live on TV, I still would not go.
I would be more likely to record them and go to another state not only for the games, but the experience of seeing new places and new teams.
