    Game time is 1:05. I wonder what time we have to be there? Noon?

    I don't know jack squat about the area or anything. But I know my hubby really wants to go. I feel like time is a-ticking and I don't have plans on Saturday night yet either.

    I am horrible at planning but we do get in town on Friday. We could probably scope the area out and figure out a meeting place for Sunday and post information back here.

    What does everyone/anyone think of that for baseball on Sunday?

    haha looks like you and me are the only ones who care :(

    we'll hang out for sure lol

    Stalker. :lol:

    So is anyone trying to meet up before Indians vs. Tigers game to sit together?

    I'd really like to see this and since I'm rolling solo until I meet my ticket buddy later so sitting with some other fans would be good.

    Can someone from Cleveland step up to the plate for this? (pun intended).

    As in, pick a gate or entrance, a time, etc?

    I've never even been to Cleveland before so I'm not the one who's able to do it.

    I havent decided for sure if I am going to go to the game. Do you get in Saturday or Sunday to Cleveland? It depends on how much drinking Sat night brings and if its warm and sunny, that may require me to avoid sitting in the Sun

    By the way, is there any update on Kareoke? Is this a go?

    If not, anyone want to meet up at a bar and drink, was thinking the Winking Lizard or Flannery's around the Arena/Jakob's Field, PM me if interested

    'chee

    I'm going to be staying in Toledo at my little brother's place on Sat night, so I'm probably going to try and roll into Cleveland by noonish for the game. If I was going to be in early I'd scout something out for a place to meet myself, but I won't be there far enough in advance.

    i'll be getting into town sunday morning, staying at the hilton, and heading to the game. i've never been there so i couldn't help picking a spot to meet (no bat like at the old yankee stadium), but since i'm also rolling solo until i meet up with my ticket buddy i'd be down for a pregame, 10c, meet up somewhere.
    i'm more a fan of popular bands.. like the bee-gees, pearl jam

    If you guys are looking for a good place to meet before the game try the Gateway Plaza. Its the area between the Q and Jacobs Field, with these 2 towers and grass. seen here:

    If you decide to meet inside the stadium, try the Batters Eye Bar, the bar inside the stadium in center field

    Okay, that's starting to sound like a good idea.

    So the stadiums are just right across from each other like that?

    Could you tell us which way to walk from that location to get to the box offices?

    So unless someone that's local chimes in and volunteers to set an official meeting place to help out us out of towners does that sound good?

    Meet at the Gateway Plaza at Noon and we'll walk over to buy tickets as a group with whoever shows by 12:30?

    I checked the indians website for info and the gates open at noon. I personally want to go DIRT CHEAP for tickets since I'm unemployed now so I was thinking bleachers would be good? It's $18 a ticket. And hell, at least at Wrigley field the bleachers are the funnest seats in the house. I tried punching in 8 tickets for that section and they had them available.

    What do you guys think?

    What do you guys think?

    1. You won't have a problem getting Indians tickets. The city is so down on them right now that the Stadium is like a morgue. Also, since the Cavs are playing that day there probably won't be a big crowd. So you can sit wherever you want and get as many tickets as you like and it won't be a problem.

    2. That Plaza separates the Q and Jacobs Field. You could throw a baseball from one and hit the other. That Plaza is located behind the big scoreboard.

    3. the Bars on 4th street are located on the opposite side of the Q. If you google maps "East 4th Street" and "9th and Prospect" those are the areas people frequent before arena and Jacobs Field events. Just walk down Prospect and you will find something to eat or drink.

    Cleveland is easy to get around. There really isn't much to do outside of drink and eat, so just about every place you walk by supports that.

    Thanks for making the map. I'll probably hit the warehouse district Sat. night, pre party Sunday at Map Room, and squeeze in RRHOF sometime in between.

    Is this all walking distance from Doubletree?
    I am lost, I'm no guide, but I'm by your side

    A couple points to mention about UFC 113...these are generally what's broadcast at the two larger gentleman's establishments in the downtown Cleveland area. Cover charge is usually around $8 and the beers are actually modestly prices (allegedly). There's also a limo bus for each that circles the downtown area that will provide you a ride there free (allegedly).

    Valley View looks close to downtown by map, but it can be a little tricky to get too and Champps is pretty loud. Just something to consider if transportation is an issue.

    Good deal. I made an official thread on The Porch about the baseball game meetup just so we can get finalized info out there:

    http://community.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=130785

    I'll update this as much as I can between now and Sunday.
