    Thanks we ended up with Hilton Cleveland Downtown. Looks like it's centrally located 

  • Hilton looks nice - can see it from my seats in 537- lol.

    if you make it to little Italy - Mama Santas - not expensive but good.

  • I would stay downtown but I'd also (as a father) think about security situations. people hate each other in this country now more than ever. Only time mfers have never FDA with me on some 'mass' transit is when I walked into a 6 train bleeding from head to toe looking like dan akroyd eating raw fish dressed as santa.and that's comin from Brooklyn ny. There are parts of Cleve that'd make those thugs cry. Biz men with briefcases won't give up seats for preg women or old people so imagine you victims. Cab it and lock the freaking doors.

  • Yes.  Definitely don't wander too far east.  Not kidding.

    How far East? I didn't intend to get east of the lakefront airport. We've been in some pretty rough areas in the past and try to keep track of our surroundings. 

  • As long as you stay in the Downtown area, you should be good too go.  It's well patrolled by the Police.  But you get out past say E.30th and you run into some very rough areas.

    Thanks again and the map is helpful. Looks like we probably wo t go east of 9th, how are the flatts? I assume pretty safe since west?

  • Haven't been there in a while.  Better to ask around.

    ... until you get to University Circle. Not that there aren't some pretty rough geeks out there...

  • The lower pound will be pretty rowdy. I have enjoyed it in the past by myself or with some of my friends. I did NOT enjoy it when my wife was there, some people are unable to draw the line. I would likely be comfortable taking a 14 yo son in the lower pound though but that depends on your values I think. If rowdy cussing and beering it up is something you want to shelter them from pass on the pound. 

    By the time that game rolls around I suspect you can find some damn nice sets of lower sidelines from the 20 down to the goal line really cheap. I sit in 138 row 17  and love the game experience. 

    Definitely don't miss the Science Museum and Rock Hall. There is also the casino if that is your thing, not something I enjoy.

    Im contemplating selling the tickets I currently have and purchasing alternatives.

    So by the looks of the attendance yesterday, there looks like there are seats available.  Think I can sit in the pound for the 1st half and if its too bad just move to an empty seat?

    I am guessing at this point you should be able to

    Thanks again and the map is helpful. Looks like we probably wo t go east of 9th, how are the flatts? I assume pretty safe since west?

    Flats are fine. BTW, if you like beer, heading to West 25th to check out Great Lakes Brewing is well worth the visit. They're not a micro brewery anymore. Their stuff is so good, they've expanded into the "small" brewery status. Even if you don't make it out there, definitely try one of their brews while your in town. Virtually every downtown bar will have at least one of theirs on tap.

    As I said earlier... Uber on over to W 25th... an oasis with a DMZ from it to the river.

    Trolley/light-rail running from flats to stadium is handy... or was. I assume it's still in operation.

    I was in Virginia not long ago. Stopped into the hotel pub for some grub.  One of the beers they had on tap was Great Lakes Elliot Ness.  So yes, Great Lakes has gone big time.  It ain't a local brew no more.

  • The trip is finally here and we are preparing for the weather on Sunday. Are there any bars that are a must to hit prior to the Cavs or Browns game?  We get in tomorrow around 11 and will have some time to kill before the Cavs. Game. Thanks

    city tap is always pretty chill dude. there's a bunch of them to choose from. east 4th places are always fun, but tend to be pricier.
