stillmotion Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 About 7 of my friends who grew up in Cleveland and I are all flying down Thursday the 23rd and staying till Monday. Is anyone else going to Las Vegas for the draft? I've been to the Browns Backers club down there before and they're awesome people. Regardless, I think it's a one in a life thing to do, and i'll be reppin' us hardcore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasAg1969 Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I have a good friend of 40+ years retired in Vegas and I'm considering going if he gets us good seats. I'd like to see at least the first two days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the best I could do was downtown for around $800 for 2 nights including the flight for one person. You can take the bus or monorail from there to the Strip. Normally I could get the Flamingo on the strip for two nights including air in May for $244, Golden Nugget downtown for $223. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just another issue should the Browns ever make the Super Bowl. Even if me and Don (with our 40 years of seniority) were lucky enough to score a $1,000 face value ticket, the hotel packages are stratospherically priced, with 4 day stay minimum. Pray the game is in a city where you have friends or relatives, or else you're going to be driving 100+ miles to find a reasonably priced room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flamingo is the perfect location. We got the Rio for $733 for thursday friday and saturday. My friend who took Aria for $10,000 two years ago got comped thursday friday and saturday for free. I got comped Sunday at bellagio so we got darn lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Owner is sooooo stupid to keep a 1-31 coach then he doesn’t deserve anymore of my money Just out of curiosity- where were your season tickets? Mine are in section 111, and just dropping them is financial stupidity. Checking PSL source- my seats are currently worth about $6,000 each on the open market. The Browns make the playoffs- double that. BTW, Jimmy decided to keep up with the (Jerry) Jonses this year. Despite the mediocre showing (he rightly reasoned he has a captive audience in the 100 level) our tickets went up 20%. FWIW, the Browns went to a Ticketmaster method of seat improvement last year, (available seats in red) and there was nothing sideline in the 100 level. If we're in the bottom 5 in seat pricing, I'd hate to think what Patriots or Cowboys fans are shelling out. Browns El Primo tickets (100 level between the 20s) are now up to $300 bucks for a pair of seats. Add in the surcharge for "premium" games- opener and Steelers- it's going to be even more that that if you're looking for a single game ticket on the secondary market. EDIT: I looked- face value 100 level Cowboys for a pair of tickets is $750 bucks- add a zero to that for your season ticket package. Triple what I'm paying. LOL such a bargain. At Jerrah prices, I'd only be going to a game or two, and selling off the rest..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browns149 Posted February 11, 2020 Report Share Posted February 11, 2020 Mine were in section 149 row 27. The fact that Jimmy did away with the PSL’s was another reason I gave them up My PSL was worth $1500 per seat. Then they weren’t. The people next to me got their seats WITHOUT ever having to buy a PSL. I was lucky and happy to get $300 a piece for my PSL’s Plus I live in WV now so the 3 1/2 hour drive to spend my money on a team owned by an idiot wasn’t worth it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, only seats available I saw 100 level last year on improvement day were a couple dozen like yours in the corner end zone areas. No one sitting in the 100 level sideline is ever going to just dump their seats. Unless they bought a license on the resale market, the seniority level of those folks is um, lifetime. Minimum 30 years, and hell's bells- you needed 30+ years of seniority way back in 1996 to even ask for seats between the 30s. Don's 17 years worth back then got us last row on the 50 upper deck- not kidding, we've improved over the last 20 years.... But I'm sure you realize, once you own them, you own them forever as long as you re-up your payment every spring. For us it's worth it just having first dibs on playoff tickets, should the Browns ever get there. I totally understand not wanting to drive the 3-1\2 hours, I'm a little closer in three hours, but I'm getting to the point that drive looks less and less appealing. I do have friends and relatives in Cleveland, so I usually come up on Saturday evening stay overnight, and drive back after the game. It's going to be interesting what the asking price of tickets will be on the resale market this year. You're going to be money way ahead just buying a single game say once a year.

I've never been able to figure out why he had the compulsion to act like a total ass on the Board. Though he got all mad and blocked a bunch of us on his Facebook page when he was kicked off for good. I still have his phone # in my directory, unless he's changed it. PM me if you want it.

mjp28 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Will there be a 2020 NFL draft with the fans? https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/will-the-2020-nfl-draft-be-canceled-due-to-coronavirus-heres-the-latest-on-the-situation March 12, 2020 CBS Sports Although the continuing spread of coronavirus has already led to the cancellation of multiple sporting events around the world and the total suspension of the current NBA season, one event that's still currently scheduled to take place is the 2020 NFL Draft. The NFL has announced that the league is still planning to hold the draft in Las Vegas, despite the ongoing spread of COVID-19, which is the technical name of this strain of coronavirus. "Our plans remain in place," the league said in a statement. "The NFL continues to closely monitor coronavirus developments and has been in contact with the World Health Organization, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the NFL-NFLPA's medical experts at the Duke Infection Control Outreach Network (DICON). We will continue to monitor and share guidance as the situation warrants and as our experts recommend." As of Wednesday, the disease has been labeled a global pandemic by the World Health Organization. Even if the spread of the disease continues, the NFL probably won't fully cancel the draft, and that's because it's the one event on the NFL calendar that can be held without people interacting in person. Although the league could end up canceling the portion of the draft open to the public, the rest of the event could easily be conducted through a video conference. As recently as 1994, the draft was conducted in a hotel conference room with no fans in attendance........ continued in the link.........
