DawgTalkers.net Forums The Archives 2019 NFL Season Looking Back: Browns 13 Rams 20 Tailgate!

A night game means all day tailgate! We'll be starting around 1 or 1:30 so stop on by. It's Taco Day, we'll have chicken, steak, pork, beef and a host of toppings.

Hopefully we get the offense in order this game as it's going to be a tough one.

PM me for a map of where we are located if you want to stop by.

Go Browns!

Will you have chicken?

Yes!

I will be there, but not that early. I do a poor job of pacing myself.

What time do you all typically start for a 1pm game?

Around 8:30

I started one time around that time and ate so much that I nearly missed the game in the bathroom haha

Usually drinking is what causes that. Food takes about 8-12 hours to work through the system.

Unless you eat too much after/during drinking.

That's a douche move.

Possibly. But it's also an attempt at creating at least a SAFER environment.

Yeah, it’ll be a zoo Sunday I’m sure

More likely it's a maneuver to limit how much overtime/double-time Sunday pay is going out for this. I'm not complaining about that, either... just saying that's the more likely reason. The game starts 7 hours later than normal, so Muni opens like 7 hours later. Same payroll costs.

I think that's a side effect, however I think the major concern is all day drinking, fights, people getting hurt, etc.

They do similar in Pittsburgh, the lots open up later if its a night game.

Actually it's already illegal to drink in the muni lot. If safety is the issue it's because they aren't enforcing their own rules.

City of Cleveland reminds fans of muni lot rules before Browns home opener

The idea of the cost perspective makes perfect sense however. I mean it must be hard to turn a profit only charging $25 a pop to park. (Yes, that is sarcasm.)

You've apparently never tailgated in the Muni. Can't arrest 5,000 people.

$25?!?!?!

Probably true, but I do think public safety plays a part.

I've tailgated in the Muni lot several times. No need to have rules if you won't enforce them. And who said anything about arresting anyone? Handing out stiff fines would be a good start.

I've never heard you say you can't arrest 5000 people when there's an ANTIFA protest.

Because I've never said it.

You do realize.............eh, not worth my time.

"Safety" is the spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.

We tailgate in Burke so that won't be an issue for us - it's an airport parking lot so it is always open (at least it has been in years past). Didn't realize how cheap it was to park at Muni, we pay $40 at Burke.

I paid $50 last game....I was paying $10 in the flats, once we started winning it went to $15. It's probably $20 now. Pat went with me last game. She doesn't like the flats, thinks it's seedy. I say it is because she doesn't like to walk up and down the hill.

It is what it is folks. As Browns fans we have gotten off cheap for a long time. Our prices are about to enter the real NFL game cost.

I live about 100 miles from Atlanta and 120 miles from Nashville. I am enough of a fan of each team that I have gone to a non-Browns game to each, plus almost all the times the Browns played there.

Trust me, it isn't cheap on gameday...

I like hockey and try to go to a few Preds games a year. Several years ago I could book a room at the Marriott Courtyard West end, out by the Vandy campus for about $140 a night...easy cab ride to the strip....now, you might pay $285 or more for a weekend room when the Preds are in town..

It is what it is. Demand drives prices

He has....that is where I first met Pit. Seems like a few years ago, but probably more like 15-16 years. A time or two after that

Very nice.

As usual, had a great time with you guys. Thanks
