So what happens to all those season ticket holders??

Dumb-non-solution.

Maybe get moved to the box seats?

They'll get moved to the 500 section, one club level pass to the bathroom of their choice and a Jimmy Haslam autographed football.

I'm assuming you mean Club Seats? Then move the Clubs to the 500s and the 500s out into the lake?

NOT going to work out.

Suites.

Yeah, the folks in the first 6-8 rows definitely aren't getting in there, let alone Club Seats.

Yes, I did indeed mean Club Seats.

I have club seats. The seats are outside and between the upper deck and lower deck. A really nice view from there. You are close enough, but also have some height to gain perspective. You lose that if in the lower section.

The concourse is enclosed, so you have heat in the cold months and A/C when it hot. I am on the Lake side. A nice view of the lake, and more important, you get whatever sun might be out. It can get warm for Sept. games, but after that, you want all the sun has to give as it gets colder. Lot's of bars, maybe 8 restaurant choices, and TV's everywhere so if you have to go use a restroom or just want to go inside to warm up for a few minutes you still see the action.

If fans are allowed, which I doubt, no doubt we will still have to distance, so of the 8 regular season games I might be allowed to go to 1-2 games tops. Not sure how they would assign games, and they better not try to include the useless exhibition games. I am not traveling 600 miles to watch some useless game being played by people who probably won't even be on the team. I'd tell them to take those tickets and shove them up their....well, you know.

Maybe I don't quite understand your comment. Club seats are more expensive than lower bowl seats, yard line by yard line because you are paying a club fee on top of the ticket price to have much better restrooms, air conditioning to meet the season, free programs, TV's everywhere, and generally better food options, but I might question the food options. There is a cheesesteak vendor in the lower concourse that is pretty darn good. I wish they had them in the club section.

Something I do miss, it was discontinued...it was run by Browns hospitality. You would get a menu a few days before the game, in our club locker room...the locker roomis private portal we can access to talk to people, get info, manage our seats if we want to transfer them to somebody...it was like a buffet line. One week it might be breakfast burritos with sausage gravy biscuits. The next game rosemary crusted prime rib with this, that, and the other.

It wasn't cheap, but it was good. My wife and I always looked forward to that. Now it is a B spot overcooked burger or Roccos meatballs.....the meatballs are actually very good. The pizza they serve is way better than your average stadium pizza slice, but I would rather have the burrito with gravy or crusted prime rib.

Now, we don't eat at the stadium all that much. Maybe a dog at halftime. We stop for a brunch somewhere...make reservations at the chop house, maybe the Flatiron in the flats, the West Side Market Café throws a nice platter and Bloody Mary at you.

Can't do that... You would be asking the lower fans to pay 2x to 4x the ticket price and telling the fans with the longest tenure, who pay the highest ticket prices, to "take a hike" up the stairs.

I love the Clubs, the food is what it is, not easy to make thousands of people happy in the short time span before the game begins. Rocco's pizza is about the best bang for your buck, hard to justify 15 bucks for a dry, overcooked burger. I'll stand in line for one of their drunken milkshakes though lol.

j/c...

Just curious...how does that make it safer???

Actually what they need to do is have a serious social spacing for those who are HIGH RISK fans and have an area designated for them.

The younger fans should also practice caution but lets face it. High risk who catch the virus will most likely die.

don't know if that comes across to readers as its hard to describe what I mean in a message board without writing a multi page post....lol

Chances are
The season ticket holder get a note double your price then you get a lottery ticket for where you seat.
Luxury seat get renewed
Average fan watch direct TV

I saw a stat that said 56% of MLB players will make less than $100K with the short season.

I really liked the lamb meatball from Rocco and Rosie's, but they discontinued them last season.

Jonathan Sawyer abruptly closed all of his restaurants in Cleveland. Rumor was he had some shady handling of the restaurant group's finances.

I wonder if this will mean a new restaurant/food stand will be coming to the Clubs to replace his Street Frites restaurant.

Don't sleep on the chicken satay at the Bloody Mary bar!

I doubt if it is so much "fan safety" they are worried about, closing off the first 8 rows will keep fans further from the players and stop things like the "Lambeau Leap" and other close contact issues. Player safety is the prime concern.

I forgot about sawyer going belly up. I don't eat fries very often so I look forward to who they put in the spot. Maybe that cheesesteak stand. The satay is a nice option!

They had a pretty good Lake Erie perch sandwich and last year's new addition was a Nashville Hot chicken sandwich.

... as I have gotten older the body changes. Let's just say it doesn't come out well. I have to take a pass on the super spicy foods. Those days are over.
