I registered today for the Pick Your Seats event on June 10. I know several posters have season tickets. If anyone has any recommendations for a rookie...I figure this may be the best time to get in, with more disgruntled fans than ever, there are probably more and better options available.

I sit in 534. If you are looking for good seats in the upper deck, 533 or 534 on the north side or 508 or 509 on the south side. These are about on the 50. I'm in row 12.

I sat in 534 for years. Row 25. Great view. Almost like watching a coaches tape. Fans were dead up there. Moved to field level. Closer to action, but some bad angles. Sat right behind the players families and friends.

The grind of driving 600 miles one way and the team constantly losing got old. Gave them up a few years ago.

If you get your tickets you can come be disgruntled with us at our tailgate as well. It typically is the most fun part of the game unfortunately. Our motto is we never lose at tailgating - it's a good group of people, several from the board here.

No matter what, sit on the north side of the stadium. You get the sun. Other than maybe the opener, sun is a good thing in Cleveland, especially come Oct,Nov,Dec. I sat in 534, Columbusdawgs section for years....have since move to the clubs.

Remember....North Side!

Wow. That's a tough ride home. That's about the distance from Cleveland to my apartment in Connecticut ~ 9 hours.

Chicago's only ~ 350 miles. What state did you come from? You did this for Browns home games?

That could have merited a "Browns Fan of the Year " award.

South Carolina.

I had the luxury of owning a home [that we never rented out]about an hour south of Cleveland and we would stay there all weekend and then drive home on Monday.

Also, I would only go to 4 or 5 games a year. Not all 8.

Ballpeen drives from TN. There are more people than you might think that do stuff like this. Makes my 2.5 hour trip from Cbus seem like a walk in the park!

Wow, I live 3 miles from Soldier Field and sometimes I get annoyed with the commute (train or car). 300 to 600 miles....DANG!

Update, I called today, put a down on 2 seats in section 532 row 12. He had a group of 4 that he didn't want to break up in 534 row 8. He's going to call me in the morning to see if I could find someone to split those with.

Thus dispelling the notion that Vers is a troll

Guess I missed something. Who said he was a troll?

Well I got you all covered. Drove to Cardiff airport, flew to Amsterdam, then flew to Detroit. Then flew to Cleveland, then got a taxi to a Holiday Inn. And then I walked to the stadium. In fairness though I only did it once. wink
