Browns Schedule Thread
-
Tampa is a lock Z, other away games I'm considering are New Orleans, Denver, and a return to Houston. Depending on finances, and what time of year the games are. The last Bucs game in October was the hottest game I've ever been at- 95 in the shade. Tour got kidnapped by the relatives last year, and I never had the chance to meet up with him.
I just have to wait for the schedule dates. I am already doing 5-6 away games when I go to Cleveland, but do plan at least 1-2 real away games.
New Orleans is always doable. Our favorite American city to visit. Been to 3 games there to this point. Denver, Houston, and Cincy are other options. Tampa is as well. We have a home in Venice, and I have a brother who lives in the TB area, but we go down there 4-5 times a year. We just spent 5 weeks down there. It would have to be a late season game. I don't want to go for a September or October game when it is likely to still be pushing 90 degrees. No wonder Gatorade was developed a few miles up the road.

As some of you may know I always do a Fall vacation to see National Park units/scenic drives, etc. Last year I had planned to combine the Houston game with my trip...but that didn't work out. (did a much shorter/closer trip instead) This year my preference would be to do Louisiana...and combine it with the Saints games. But it depends on the time of year. I don't want to go when it would be like a sauna bath just to go outdoors, or when hurricane season is in bloom. So, for N.O....it would have to be scheduled from like Mid or late October to early/mid December. Alternately, I could see doing Colorado and the Denver game. That one would likely have to be in Mid to late Oct. I could theoretically do Oakland, but I just came back from the Bay Area and don't really want to make that long of a flight out there again so soon. Neither Tampa nor Houston would be options for me. My wife wants to do a trip sometime to the Fla. Gulf Coast, but works for schools...so I would have to do that trip around her schedule. Hopefully the schedule makers do us all a favor. Of course, they never do the Browns a favor, do they? Tampa and N.O. will probably be scheduled in September. Denver in late December. (OK if you like to ski....I don't).

I'm planning on Tampa, New Orleans, and an early season game in Cleveland.
I hereby challenge Ghoolie to fisticuffs at all three locations.

Works for me... plus Houston of course.
Do you have Backers contacts in NOLA?

Next year what? A game in Japan?
Or, in India. And of course the Bengals would have to play in that game.
And one in Oslo.....with the Vikings, naturally playing in it.

Definite leaps in quality...
Expanding the product reach!
I was watching the INDIANS game in Puerto Rico both games and the MLB Commissioner was talking about just that more international games. Of course the real motivation whether it's NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS is to get more customers for the product in this increasingly streaming world.
Ad dollars, product sales, new younger fans, sell more merchandise even team expansion is all part of the new sports paradigm (I love using those new business buzz words
).

Maybe in a couple years I'll go to a Madrid game...

I don't think so.
Itjust came to my mind that the Spanish sports journal where I read info about NFL (they even got a podcast) put on the front page the Superbowl article when it was over.
Something you can understand about the second most followed sport event behind the World Cup final in s freaking Sports journal... Well, there were like 20 comments saying that what the heck was an american sport in the front page, that it's not interesting to anyone... Comments full of hatre in some cases.
So no. You'll see earlier NFL Game in Germany than in the "solo fútbol" Spain...

I seem to remember that the now money losing NFL Europe was most successful when it was around areas where US GIs were stationed.
But as a novelty you still might see a few more American football games.
