  • Out-of-town guests are pointed to a discounted room block at the Renaissance Hotel but are expected to book and pay for their own lodging.
  • Boomer Esiason, one of the franchise’s eight living Ring of Honor members, called the invitation insulting and said he may skip the event.
  • Corey Dillon said on social media that he did not receive an invitation to the ceremony.
