Haven't been to an away game for a few years since I "road trip" up to 6-7 home games a year. I plan on selling some tickets this year. I plan on selling the Steelers and Colts games. I know Steeler fans travel and figure there will be plenty of Colts fans looking for tickets. I had this thing about not wanting visiting fans sitting in my seats. Screw that, Browns fans don't buy the seats. I am putting them on the ticket exchange and make some money. I don't care who sits in them. I may consider it myself if a group is going. Depends on when it is scheduled. I have a couple of Sundays booked with a trip to Utah....mid to late Oct. Daughter living in SA....I could go see her....or have her come see me. She liked it last year (2018) when I went to Houston. (though earlier in the year next I am driving down there to SA...then to Houston....for wedding/cruise) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not a T-day game, it'll just be me and the wife so rendezvous will be easy.

When I can't hardly give away tickets to the relatives, I reached the "screw it" level too. Don't look at it as a way to make money though. More like cut your losses. The Rams and Steelers games were selling for well above face value, but some others were getting 50 cents on a dollar, and the Bengals game didn't sell at all. That is why I am putting them up early. I figure both of those games will sell above face to loyal fans. Loyal fans of other teams who can make the easy trip. I don't consider it apathy...at least on my part and don't think that of you. I think that of the many people I know on boards who talk Browns all day but when it comes to going to games....no, they don't go to games. Same for the many more I don't know. I no longer look to put Browns fans in my seats, I am looking for other team colors. That is who is going to buy them. My wording may have been too sharp. I don't look at it as a way to make money. That's not the intent, but I know Steeler fans will pay over face to get in the door. I am thinking the same for Indy. I may even give up the opener, there is always some degree of excitement for that one. My being a fan isn't predicated on winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the laughs. Anything after Eric Turner was gravy anyway; so don't worry about the date or what holiday it was or even what type of turnover it was. He's a fond memory any way you look at it. Remember when NE's Ben Coates was Drew Bledsoe's go to guy? Bill Belicheck put Eric Turner on him to shut him out in our playoff W over NE. That was real good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta wait til mid April when the schedule is out to see if it conflicts with other plans. October 25 is out. But the couple of Sundays before and after that date could be possible. And no, Thanksgiving would not work....unless I made it a family affair by bringing my wife along, and having my daughter come up. (My wife would have NO interest in going to the game....daughter would though). Though the concept is interesting, but my wife's work schedule could be prohibitive. School requires her to work all the way through Wed. afternoon....and no way do we want to fly that Wed. evening. (and she would NOT call off that day) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icecube Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 No, dates are not set but schedule is. Home Pitt - L. I think Ben will be back, and WR and RB units won't be so beat up like 2019. Conner, Snell, rookie at RB and JuJu, Johnson, Washington at WR. D is verging on top 5. Cinci - W. May improve, but they are so bad. Balt - L. They will probably be tough all season, after upset playoff loss. Colts - W. Indy isn't bad, but not that good either. Eagles - L. Maybe weirdest team in the NFL. So unpredictable, but well coached with a lot of talent but WR unit lacking. Raiders - W. God only knows how good the Raiders will be. Skins - Riverboat Ron will boost them to a 9-7 type team. W. Texans - L. Watson can ball. Away Pitt - L. Cinci - W Balt - L. Dal - McCarthy will get 10+ wins out of them. L NYG - W. Jags - W. Still no QB and Morone still HC. Jets - L. I believe they are up and coming. TN - L. Vrable is the real deal. So, it's looking like 8-8 and a lot of fans would be OK with that.
