The Gipper Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 15 hours ago, hoorta said: I'm probably going to shut this thread down soon- it's going nowhere, those that want living room comfort going to a game when it's in the 20s can travel to warmer climes and domed stadiums to watch the Browns when the weather gets cold. As of now the 2019 warm away games would be the 49ers in San Fran and the Cardinals in Arizona. Subject to change- the Broncos (again) and the Titans. Fairly stated, but....for that, we have to rely on the schedule makers. As you know, my main hobby really is travel....and like I did just a couple of weeks ago, where I combined my attendance at the Houston game with a week long excursion into parts of east Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana, I would think about doing the same again next year, if possible. I already have trips planned for next September and October to Lake Ozark, Missouri (we won't be playing the Chiefs) and Jackson Hole Wyo. respectively. But....if the schedule makers were to put the Browns into either Arizona or SF in like that first week of December, it is road game trip that I would highly consider to combine with other travel. And though as you know, I have complained about the stadium experience, I would put up with it for 3.5 hours in order to do the thing. Are you in to go to one of those spots? (I would not be in to going to Denver in Dec....or to the Tits game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as bad as it used to be at old Candlestink Park but its not exactly a warm climate. Though it might be a game for me to make the trip up the coast for....pretty cheap flights on Southwest to the bay area if you plan ahead. Mark Twain said that the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco......nevertheless....it actually has seemed that that area is less blustery in like December. I have only ever been there in spring. As noted, I would combine it with a trip to some other parts of CAL. Take a drive down the Big Sur coast. Over to Pinnacles NP. Into the central Valley over by Bakersfield for another NP. What would such a trip there be like in December? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So follow along- why would Joe Six Pack vote money to build, or improve a stadium that he can't even afford the price of admission to? You're right hoorta, Joe Six Pack would never vote against his own best interests. Even if it was sold by a conman from New York City with a stupid mantra printed on cheap, shitty red hats.

Yeah, honestly the idea of being up there for a winter game doesn't phase me... I'd be more concerned with making the 40+ mile drive in bad weather - which wouldn't change regardless if there was an open-air stadium or a domed one at the end of my drive.

If you say blasphemous shit like this in public, you would get hung outside naked by your peepee and spray painted orange and Brown. As you can see from the reaction, to a real Browns fan the thought of a roof and an enclosed stadium is as appealing as offering free testicle removal using a football tee. Here are some statistics for you.... Men who attend home games in a domed stadium are 137.288 % likely to become homosexual, if they already aren't. Women who attend home games in a domed stadium are whores, and 204.3 % more likely to have adultery in the bathrooms. Browns fans who talk about wanting a dome stadium are 3,751% more likely to be deported and/or have big things shoved up their ass Don't be that guy. Go get yourself some battery headed underwear, put your granrled off, nubby divk into a thimble, cover it with a sock and go watch you some browns out in the elements. It'll make a man out of you. 🙂 Nuthin but love, dude. Not just the attendance on cold days would go up but why would you not want to take all variables out of the game shitty footing wet football wind etc. I work in the cold all year it’s nice to be some what warm on the weekends and drink a cold beer.

WE LIVE FOR COLD, SNOWY WEATHER FOOTBALL Correct- Babushka must be pretty young. We packed the house for the infamous Red Right 88. Yeah, I was there, looked it up and the game time temperature was 4 degrees. Cold? Nah, not if you have an expedition parka- like I was wearing for the game. This wasn't football, but it was at the NHL's Winter Classic a few years ago at the University of Michigan's stadium. 13 degrees, wind chill zero- see many empty seats? Only minor problem is keeping the beer from freezing. It's a very simple proposition- win games, and they will come, regardless of the weather. The wimps can stay home if they think it's too cold.

I was in what was to become the Dawg Pound, Red Right 88 happened right in front of us- and I can still see it in my mind to this day. Hah, we couldn't feel much either- mostly because in that era high octane non-freezable adult beverages were pretty easy to get into the stadium. Yeah- I had a couple of my Alaska pals with me.
