The Goodyear Airdock, the canal valley, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame
KAKR Akron Fulton shares a fence with the Goodyear Airdock — 1,175 feet long, 211 feet high, the largest building in the world without interior supports at its 1929 completion, where the Navy's rigid airships USS Akron and USS Macon were built. Locals call its shape "half a silkworm's cocoon." North of the field is Cuyahoga Valley National Park, the only Ohio NPS unit, threaded by the Ohio & Erie Canal towpath. South to KCAK Akron-Canton for MAPS Air Museum and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, where the NFL was founded in a Hupmobile auto showroom in 1920. Two airports, the rubber industry that made tires for half the world, and the league that defined Sunday.
