Question From Out Of Town Guest

[schinz]

Hello all, I am an out of town guest from Baltimore who will be bringing his daughter, father and brother to the Brown's game against the Ravens on Dec. 4th. I have never been to your stadium and was wondering if there is a place we could get there early and sit down and have an early lunch? I am asking on here because I am wondering whether, if we are wearing our Raven's uniforms, we will be welcome at all in any of the eating palces you may have in the stadium? Thanks for any help anyone would be willing to give.

Two options:

1. I am sure you would be welcome to the Browns Board tailgate party...though I don't know if you would have a place to sit. Check the Forum for that on this site. I am sure you may get your share of friendly repartee, but it would all be in a spirit of sportsmanship. As long as you don't bring Art Modell with you, that is. This time of year however, it might start getting pretty cold and we do tailgate outside.

2. If you really want a nice sit down place inside where its warm, I personally would suggest doing the Brunch at the Hard Rock Cafe inside Tower City. I have done it a time or two and it is outstanding. You certainly won't have any problem getting in or being bothered. And it is a short walk to the stadium.

Others here may have other suggestions that I am not aware of.

If you want a place inside the stadium, I am sure someone can make a suggestion or check out the Browns official website. You may have to have club seats to use the stadium restaurants.

You'll be fine around town and in the eateries. Unfortunately, you'll require some thick skin while in line at the Stadium.

Dude this isn't Philly. Yea we hate your team, but no one is going to mess with you, maybe some razzing. Especially if you have your kid with you. Clevelanders are a loud drunk bunch, but some of the most respectful fans out there. There are a bunch of good lunch place near the stadium. Just do a search and you'll be fine. I like Paninis.

I just checked and the tailgate is off, but the Hard Rock is a good option. I suggest you would get better food at a better price than in the stadium.

I didn't mena to imply anything negative. To be honest, this is the first live game I have ever been to and simply have no idea how things work, etc. It is exciting and I appreciate your response. Good luck this weekend...I know we will need it!!!

Not that it bothers me, but how can that team of yours kick the Steelers ass twice, yet choke it against the Jags and the Seahawks. Hell, even the Browns beat the Seahawks.

LOL...yes, you obviously have some idea how embarrasing it is for us Raven fans to have that happen. If it stays on cycle we should beat Cincy this weekend, beat the 49rs Thanksgiving and lose to you all the 4th!!

I apologize for some of these Browns fans who said to wear layers, Rick.

The dirty, stinkin, cheapshottin, lice harboring ratbirds?

Everybody will be wearing a pair of shorts and a t-shirt.... bring plenty of suntan lotion and your flip-flops.............

Early December CAN be brutal, but not usually. Besides football, I do a lot of cold weather cycling so here's your basic tips. Always the first thing to go is your feet. Warm socks and some insulated boots (Sorel) help keep the toes warm. You lose a lot of heat through your head, so wear a stocking cap. And a tip from the Arctic- wind kills. You actually can be toasty at 20 below with no wind. Crank up a 40 mph blizzard at that temperature, and you're in trouble. It took me a few years to figure it out, but windproof clothing can change your comfort level by at least 10, if not 15 degrees.

There are "those guys" in every stadium (except maybe Green Bay where those folks are SO hospitable). Just ignore the yahoos and all will be fine although I do recall a young Jets fan getting tackled by a couple of shit-faced Browns fans.

But the way the Ravens season is going, Browns fans should be happy. The Ravens look like bird dung on the road v. sub .500 teams.
