Has there been any plans for the 2023 Convention? Dates, site?

I swear I read somewhere that it was going to be Pittsburgh, and I thought I saw it in board meeting minutes, but now I can't find it. Maybe it was in Coffin Corner? Will look there next.

In the latest Coffin Corner, from Lee Elder: "We have a new book coming out this year and our next convention will be in 2023 with Pittsburgh as the host city."

The 2023 Convention will be held in Pittsburgh. Details will be released soon.

So pumped up to hear this! I live just outside of Pittsburgh, and I can tell you that there are very few other places on the planet that can match its passion for pro football. So many things to see here! I'm no Steelers fan, but this is an excellent choice for a venue.

(Maybe it was my suggestion last year. )

I'm a Raiders fan (too) from WAAAAAAY back, so. . ."No, thanks."

OK. Thank you for that announcement, though

I coulda sworn we had a Dolphin fan or two at the Buffalo convention. Oh well.

You'd never see me at one being held in that western Pennsylvania city. Or the city in CO that is home to an N.F.L. team. Or Arlington ('course, from what I understand J.J. want PFRA to pony up $5000 just for the privilege of showing up at his "palace" so as long as J.J. is alive I doubt that the PFRA will be going there). One being held in Green Bay would be very tempting for me to attend. Having been to the one in Canton, OH last year if I were to make it to Green Bay, WI that would mean that I'd visited both of the two "holiest" grounds in N.F.L. lore, which would be great.

Are we devolving into a team fan site here?
