    Sorry you are bored and have nothing to contribute to what many more fans are concerned with....the quality of the stadium and the game day experience.   You can go back to watching hours of film of Division 1_AA  offensive linemen.   ZZZZSSSSSnoooorkkk

    So, in other words, you agree that I am right. 

    No, if I were to use other words, I'd say you are a windbag.

    Dead horse beaten well until tender marinated for 24 hours in a good steak sauce and grilled to perfection served with some baked root vegetables and a fine wine ?  Eh ?          😉

    Might I suggest I pick up a bottle of the Houston Lifestock Show & Rodeo International Wine contest Gold Medal Reserve Class Champion "Corky Mule" from Thirsty Mule Winery about 5 miles or so from my house? Hee Haw!

    Sorry you all don't like football,  or that you do not identify with the interests of football fans. 

    But, I guess   you are all correct in this regard:  Based on my past couple of experiences, as I have noted above.....the in stadium game day experience IS highly disappointing and beyond, and perhaps we should not have any interest in taking any part of it, or in discussing it....particularly given the cost  of it all.   Let's just sit on our couches and watch the games.  

    Maybe I will just do that.

    Multi-tasking.....Football fan experience.   But, yea, real estate seems to be a major factor in that these days.

    Well this is kind of funny... there might be a new stadium coming to downtown Cleveland after all.... a soccer stadium.

    Cool.   I think you can probably see that parcel on some of the photos that are here above.

    But....who would play there?   They say a "minor league" soccer team.   Why not an MLS team?

    Um, because there's already MLS teams in Columbus and Cincinnati?  and Jimmuh isn't moving the Crew to Cleveland- that's for sure.

    So, the Minor League cities in this state get the "Major League Soccer team"?  Or why not just call it  Minor League Soccer? 

    The Columbus soccer team only drew an average of like 12,500.    The Cincinnati team drew more, like 27 K per game....because it is brand new.

    Hell, The Force used to get upwards of 20K a game for Indoor Soccer at the Richfield Coliseum.   (of course, that WAS a more entertaining product than the MLS).

    Maybe Jimmy should consider moving that Columbus team to Cleveland....especially if he is going to be building what we have been talking about here....a 2 billion+ sports complex.

    Not a chance in hell of that happening Gipper. Pretty big uproar Columbus way when there was serious talk the Crew was going to be relocated to another city. Then Haslam bought the team- and there's a nice shiny new $300 million soccer specific stadium under construction.

    Oh OK I was not aware  that they were building that stadium down there. 

    But, if Jimmy thinks that somehow because he owns a football team in Cleveland, and a soccer team in Columbus that the Cleveland area will all of a sudden become fans of his C-bus soccer team, he is deluding himself.   The opposite WOULD possibly be true....Columbus could (and has to a great extent) been a big Browns town.   But there won't be any chapter of the Crew Backers opening up around here any time soon.   (unless I am totally out of touch).   

    When it comes to soccer,  it is only  the Akron U team, a traditional national power in the sport, that gets any attention.  (At least it does in Akron....it may get none in Cleveland).  Not one word is ever spoken about "The Crew".  I don't recall ever seeing any "Crew" gear being worn around here.....not even by kids.   Only very, very rarely do I see Bluejackets gear worn.
