Stadium Central

While I didn't get inside, I was fortunate enough to get a good glimpse of the Cleveland Browns Stadium. As a sign that our hotel accommodations were wonderful, the view outside of our hotel room looked upon the stadium on the shores of Lake Erie. Situated adjacent to the Great Lakes Science Center with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame one more building over, the stadium is situated in as picturesque location as Cleveland can accommodate. I can only imagine the chill that must come over the place in late season games. The stadium provides interesting visuals for those outside the stadium, as the corners allow a view inside the stadium. I wasn't sure how well the tailgating would work, as there did not appear to be significant parking around the stadium. Fortunately, the warehouse district was not far away, and numerous parking lots there could accommodate cars. A train station near the stadium likely carries many of the fans to and from games. The presence of an Interstate cuts the stadium off from downtown Cleveland, but walkways under and over the road do provide some access to the city center. Nice architecture on the outside, but nothing stunning. The location is an excellent one.
