The Cysko Kid Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 I'm with Howie- stay downtown on your first trip over. Plenty of nice places to eat, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is right next to the Stadium. The rock hall is ok but cleveland has a lot more to offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Autobahn... schmautobahn... Wait till you get a load of "Deadman's Curve"... don't hate on it unless you drove on it. went to an 'open air' concert down south from wurtzburg where i was stationed one weekend. we rented a car. it just so happened it was a alfa romeo 6 speed manual. i drove that sweet bitch down there doing at least 120+. no probs over there. they don't have lanes for ladies doing their make up or old people looking at a map with their right turn signal on for 2 hours. either you can drive or you can die. my room mate drove back from the concert weekend and all i can remember is repeatedly telling him to slow down cuz i don't want to die. still high on that blond hash they were passing around while robert palmer did his version of 'in my system'. paid for 2 nights in the hotel, ended up sleeping on benches both nights. germans don't fuck around when it comes to curfews.

Browns149 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 This is the way to go. You can get a ride on the rapid (red line) from Brook Park or W150th and not worry about finding a parking spot or getting out of downtown after the game. It will be the best 5 bucks you'll ever spend. The Browns fans are the best, and I'm sure you will enjoy your stay. I've been riding the red line for years. I live 2 minutes from the Brookpark station. It is the 2nd stop heading into downtown, so the trains are always empty. plenty of seats to be had. The 1st stop is the airport, and no one gets on there, unless they are staying at the airprt hotels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HowieDawg Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Sad news dude. Ticket prices are going to be higher and seats much harder to get next year too - after we win the SB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, me and G-Man flew over for the Baltimore game and paid out 275 for front row dawgpound tickets - nice of the Browns to score all the TDs up the other end that day...... You're right, we spend more very year on shots than the game ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBrown Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I think I've swung it with work now and will be attending the Texans game! It looks as if there are plenty of tickets left for this match as of today. I am torn between Dawg pound tickets or the sideline as it will be my first ever match, would like to see the action as best I can. The Cavs are at home to Atlanta on Saturday night, how difficult will it be for me to get tickets to that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieHardBrownsFan Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 What is the area Ohio City like? It seems pretty close to Downtown and there are airbnb options there that are really cheap. Ohio City is right across the river from Downtown. It is now a trendy area with a lot of good restaurants and bars. http://ohiocity.org/guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Opinions vary, but for watching a game I love high endzone seats in line with either sideline. You can more easily see plays develop, both O-line movement and pass routes, looking the length of the field with a little angle to aid depth perception... . A pair of average binoculars will let you zoom in on anything you want to see "close up" I sat about 15 rows up in Section 318 of the Upper DawgPound for my one and only Browns Stadium game and loved it. I would not go much higher; anything lower would be welcome. But the upper is more the Pound in name only, IMO.... the real pound experience is in the lower level.

DieHardBrownsFan Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thank you! Beings as you're from London, you should have no problems as Cleveland is small by comparison. There is a high crime rate in certain sections, but if you stick to Downtown/Ohio city/Warehouse District and don't flash a bunch of cash around and such, you will be fine.

I'm the opposite Tour- I love my sideline lower level seats- try to get row 20 or higher. First five rows of the upper deck between the 20s are great too. BTW, with the new Jumbotrons- MHO is binoculars are unnecessary. London, you should have no trouble getting a seat to the Cavs game on StubHub.
