    Actually probably one of the dullest songs ever made.

  • I nearly died on the autobahn once the narrowest of narrow car crash misses.

  • That was when I was on the way to Prague for a match involving my soccer team. Maybe I shouldn't fly to cleveland after all...

  • Stay at the Jones Motor lodge, East 99th and Hough

    Once you check in, you will never check out.

  • LondonBrown, you will never forget your first trip - I'm excited for you. Having made a few trips over the pond, my advice would be to pick the cheapest central downtown hotel you can find. hampton is good, Rennaisance is good but pricy, regency arcade is good, wyndhams is good, hilton garden inn is cheap and short walk into town also, Embassy suites is a bit further out but fine. you'll be golden downtown - you'll love CLE, it's a cool town and has great people.

    Enjoy your trip

    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.

    Wait till you get a load of "Deadman's Curve"...

  • I am looking at internal flights and they are coming up around £450?! That's more expensive than my flight from London!

    I obviously wouldn't pay that so what would be the cheapest alternative to get into Cleveland on 11/15 and return to NYC on 11/17

    The rock hall is ok but cleveland has a lot more to offer

    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.

    If you stay at one of the hotels near Hopkins airport or off I-71 at west 150th, I think there are 3 hotels there, you can take the train to the stadium. It is $5 a person, for an all day pass, and it drops you off right across the street from the stadium.

    I hardley ever drive downtown. The parking is $20-$30 if you want to park anywhere near the stadium. Plus getting in and out of there is a nightmare. It will take you over an hour to get out of downtown, after most games.

    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.

  • Dead Man's Curve

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    A Dead Man's Curve is a crescent or horseshoe-shaped section of a road that has claimed lives because of numerous traffic accidents. The term is in common use in the United States, while the related term hairpin turn is more widely used in other parts of the world.

    Dead Man's Curve in Cleveland, Ohio

    Dead Man's Curve was constructed as part of the Innerbelt project in 1959.[27] It soon became apparent that the curve was too sharp for travel at typical Interstate speeds, and in 1965, the state lowered the speed limit from 50 mph (80 km/h) to 35 mph (56 km/h).[citation needed] Four years later,[not in citation given] authorities completed the first set of safety retrofits, which included banking the curve and installing rumble strips and large signs.[29][22] is still planned to be built but not until the mid-2020s.[32] According to a 2013 ODOT count, 64,720 vehicles travel on the curve every day.[34]

  • Sad news dude. Ticket prices are going to be higher and seats much harder to get next year too - after we win the SB!

  • LOL.. If you're flying trans-Atlantic to attend a game, I'm not thinking the ticket price is going to be a deal breaker...

    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

  • 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?

  • 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.
