  • Im not from Cleveland and come up from WV for games when I can. Has Muni lot always been a "no alcohol" policy? Saw an article that said no alcohol in Muni lot. 

  • I've also never tailgated in the Muni but I know it's the party lot.

    "No alcohol" means no open containers. 

    Everybody drinks and smokes.  You just have to keep the drink in an unmarked cup and you're good.  The cops are cool there, they honestly don't care much about what you do as long as the beer is in a solo cup and you're not actively killing anyone.  It's just marked no alcohol for liability reasons, I believe?

    And yes, it is the spot.

    What tia said. Don't wave beer cans around, or fifths of Jack Daniel's. Be discreet  and you'll be fine.  Also, if you actually want to get in the lot, get there early. The gates open up at 7AM, and it fills up fast. 

  • I did see a snippet somewhere though of the Cleveland police issuing a reminder no alcohol was allowed.

    Riiigggttt. Not allowed,  but if we don't see anything, there's no one drinking adult beverages.  🙂

    It is illegal to drink out in public.  That has always been city policy and they have to maintain that policy everywhere. They can't allow that area to be free from public statute.

    So yes, you can be cited for drinking.  But...everybody knows people are going to drink.  As long as you aren't forcing the cops hand by walking around with cans of beer, and aren't acting like a moron...which many do...you're cool.  So if you get arrested by a cop for being a dickhead and you have a beer or something, you will get charged with that as well.

    So the moral of this story is don't act like a dickhead and you won't have any problems.  Pour your beverage in to a solid colored cup and enjoy your time in the lot.  If you start puking all over the place, start pissing on cars,  start fighting or harassing other teams fans past the point of good nature, feeling up strange women and so on, then you will go to jail like you should.

    You do realize that you're talking about Football fans...

    I guess even worse would be Futball fans.

    Then check out the "Upper DP" in the new place. Not really the Pound, but the seat cheaper prices (more money for beer?), reduced security and an ample supply of visiting team fans seem liberating... as in folk, a/k/a idiots, seem to lose their senses.
