Travelling to Cleveland thread!

[OsunaMatata]

I'll chant Let's Go Blue Jays... but I am going to be respectful of being in another city. Will cheers other Jays fans, high five them, but not tell anyone from Cleveland they suck or anything like that. Respect.

Just got hosed on a hotel room, $390 with parking for one night but there was nothing remotely as close to Progressive for that cheap.

[ChrisS]

Want to join me and Spanky for a beer?

 

Let me know where you guys are meeting up. Im most likely heading down by myself. I have to leave after the Saturday game as I work on Sunday..

Not much of a selection even back on Tuesday when I was looking. And the ones that were available were pretty expensive, around $250 per night. Unless you just booked a private room.

Jonah Keri is staying at the same hotel I'm staying at apparently. Same with Shi Davidi. Wonder if the Jays are staying there as well haha.

That would be cool. When I was a kid me and my father went to watch the Leafs and Rangers play an exhibition game in London (England). We followed the Leafs bus for about an hour hoping to stay at the same place as them but we lost the bus.

 

If you or anyone wants to grab food and a drink on Friday before the game lmk. BJMB meet up lol

It'd be pretty cool to get an autograph although I'm sure players don't sign at the hotel much. Also I hate asking players for autographs if they aren't at the stadium.

I went to that game also, was walking downtown London and we bumped into Leetch and his wife, they told me about the game as I was wearing my Clark jersey, I didn't even know they were there, lol. First time I saw liquor sold at a hockey game(Wembley Arena), I was 20 at the time. Also I won't be in Cleveland, that's just some retarded joke, wish I were, though...

Hey fellas, stalking Tribe fan here. I've stayed at the Holiday Inn DT the last 2 Home Openers, it's about a 8-10 minute walk to the stadium, not bad at all.

 

For first time Jays fans, I'd recommend checking out The Corner bar in RF, as well some of the local food stands out there. You won't be disappointed. Also, depending on what time you get there, entering the stadium from Gate D (behind home plate) is the best way to go. We got there 1.5 hours for ALDS Games 1 and 2 and walked right up. HUGE lines when you enter from the LF or CF gates.

 

I was at the last series vs. you guys in August, you Jays travel well! Met some great fans at the hotel bar, hopefully you guys don't travel TOO well tonight, slightly annoying to hear opposing teams fans haha. You guys were all respectful, so that counts for something.

 

I think it's going to be a good series, you guys are definitely the favorites, but this CLE team has fought and battled all year. I don't think this series will be any different. Go Tribe!

[ChrisS]

Im looking for a single for tonights game. Should I just wait until a few hours before a buy from stubhub? There doesnt seem to be much selling and Im looking for face value or better.

I was 10 lol. Clark was sitting in the back seat the whole time.

After dealing with so many trashy Orioles and Rangers fans, it's nice to see a respectable fanbase come around for a chat. Personally I kinda like Cleveland as a team. Obviously I want the Jays to win, but if we have to lose to a team, I wouldn't mind losing to Cleveland (as much). That said, I'm making the road trip to Cleveland tomorrow and we'll be painting that stadium blue if I have anything to say about it!

I'd wait especially if you only need a single and just need to get in the door. Prices have been coming down over the last day or so.

When I went to a Tribe game in August the scalpers were pretty cool, mostly around on bikes outside the RF and LF gates, obviously playoffs are tough but if you get there after first pitch I don't see why you wouldn't be able to talk them down a bit and get face value, have a blast dude, I will be cheering from Europe tonight for all my Jays fans there!

[Mittens87]

Saw a post on a Indians message board saying don't sell blue jays fans tickets, were horrible etc etc

 

Nice to be playing a team without all the bitterness of Texas and especially the Baltimore fans

I'm glad I didn't buy anything yesterday, I'll scoop up a single close to the field shortly.

 

They will come down in price for Tuesday and Wednesday I think
