Wanted to share this wonderful letter penned to Cleveland fans by Nick Chubb. I personally had been a Browns fan since the mid-1980s despite growing up on Long Island and became a STH when I moved to Cleveland in the early 90s. My first jersey was a #92 Michael Dean Perry. Thirty years later I finally found a new number worthy of wearing: #24 Nick Chubb. LOVE the guy.
Sadly, the Browns traded away their dignity for a POS QB and I have not been able to take my Chubb jersey out or cheer for the team in 2+ years while DW is at QB. That said, a friend sent me a link to this letter and I love it...it's part of the reason I became such a Chubb fan in the first place. Hope you all enjoy. Browns need 50 more Nick Chubbs and not just on the field but off it as well.

Cleveland Got My Back | By Nick Chubb
When you get hurt like I got hurt, the weird thing is that you don’t even really feel anything. But you hear everything.

Cleveland with two, two out, two run home runs in the bottom of the 9th and 10th innings to gat back in the series. What a finish.
The Prog has had some absolute classic postseason moments. Not bad for a 30 year old stadium.

Hey OSU football fans. I have friends coming in from Denmark in November and they want to see a game at the Shoe. I'm not an alum or a fan or a regular or anything - the handful of games I've seen has been from the goodwill of a friend. Anyway, it's the Nov. 23 game against Indiana, which people are telling me is gonna be a draw because Indiana is good. So I'm trying to get four of us in there somehow,
So how high is C deck? Does it take a long time to get there? What about going to the bathroom? Are the seats still bleachers? Online reviews seem to suggest not sitting in B.
Where are your favorite places to sit? I'm pretty sure we're just looking for the experience - not looking to spend more than a hundy-ish per ticket. Do you have a favorite third-party seller?
Thanks.

C deck is pretty high up and the aisles are steep. And unless you want to wait a long time to ride the elevator you’ll be climbing quite a few staircases. As for the bathrooms C deck has plumbing unlike the south stands where it’s just porta potty’s. B deck is very hit or miss due to the angle of the support beams being in your face. Sat in B deck for the UC game in 2014 and it was a fantastic view. 2015 blackout game against Penn St and had a section from the 40yd to line 20yd be an obstructed view. Gimme a sec and I’ll post a couple pics for reference.
2015 c deck against Minnesota, I was only 3 rows back so not bad of a view
This season in the south stands

Sometimes I swear my teams can only play well when I stop watching.

Turned on my favorite NFL team yesterday and within two plays the QB threw his first interception of the season. Turned it off. They wound up winning 34-10.
It's true.

Nope. Nope. Nope nope nope nope. I'll come back for the second half if I gotta, but nope. I can only afford so much stress.

It's really quite pathetic. Diamond Sports has taken one of the most marketable products on TV and found a way to lose tons of money broadcasting it.Cleveland Cavaliers games coming to Amazon Prime Video

If I am understanding this correctly, this is simply just another option for cord-cutters who do not subscribe to an internet package that includes FanDuel Sports Network and don't subscribe to FanDuel Sports as a stand-alone subscription.
- If you subscribe to cable and live in Ohio you likely already get the Cavs games
- If you subscribe to an internet package like Fubo or DirecTV Stream and live in Ohio you already get the Cavs games
- If you pay for subscribe to Diamond's direct-to-consumer product and live in Ohio you already get the Cavs games
- If you live outside the Cavs region and want their games you likely subscribe to GamePass or whatever the heck they call it
- If you have none of the above but already subscribe to Amazon Prime, you can "add-on" for FanDuel Sports Network. No pricing has been mentioned but I suspect it won't be much cheaper than Diamond's direct-to-consumer product (like $20 per month). I know Fubo added something like $17 to their monthly fees when they picked up FanDuel Sports Network and you could not opt out of the sports channel. That's when I dropped Fubo.

OK, good people. Now that (this) game week is here, I need some help. Haven't been to a game at the Shoe in at least 25 years and the few that I have been to has been with an alum who was in charge of the game day experience.
Where is best to park? Should I have bought some sort of parking pass already?
Is there a place to buy gear/merch inside the stadium? If my Danish friends want a cap or shirt or something, where do we get it?
Any of you host a tailgate?
Are there enough food stands/stalls inside the stadium?

It used to be cheaper to buy merch outside. Although after the last home game of the year they used to discount merch in the stadium. I got my wife a Lauenitis jersey cheap after the last game years ago. I just like typing merch.
I used to park on the street south of campus and walk over. I found traffic was better south of campus - like you could cross the river at 3rd (and I lived west). Haven’t been for maybe 7 or 8 years.

Our seats were great, A deck in sort of the corner of the end zone, looking directly perpendicular to the band. All the scores save the FG and the sneak at the end were at our end, as were the turnovers and the fumbled punt snap.
I’m not what you’d call an OSU fan but we were rooting for them for sure yesterday. Our Danish guests had a blast. They’d never been in a stadium that size. It was their fourth American football game in eight days, starting with Pitt-Clemson and Steelers-Ravens last weekend, and Steelers-Browns on Thursday in the snow. (I only attended the OSU game, other family members went with for the others). Only the game in Cleveland was a truly disappointing result, so even that went well.
In between, we enjoyed each others’ company over drinks and beers and good food, and our dog made new best friends. And we began making plans for our return trip to Denmark and beyond in 2026.

You left out the most important parts. Where did you park? Were the Danes able to get some OSU gear? What did they think of Brutus?

We drove in Lane from the west and just figured we’d see signs or people or something and we were right. Parked in the space around some businesses on Kenny at Lane. $20 cash.
There was a gear “trailer” in the area where the TV pregame sets and some food trucks were across the street from the stadium. They looked there but decided against any purchases.
“What’s a Buckeye?” “Why does he do push-ups?” Lots of questions about Brutus.

Wish I read this thread sooner. Whenever I go down there for a game I park across the street from Ohio State Labs and take a shuttle down Woody Hayes. Would’ve suggested going to College Traditions (Rally House now) on Lane Ave to get some gear. Oh well.
What’d they think of the Rotunda on the north end of the stadium?
Glad you all had a great time nonetheless!
