| - FirstEnergy Stadium is getting a little tired, but it will perk right up later, and at that point will change its name to SecondWind Stadium. Eventually, when the Cavs and Indians are winning lots of Championships but the Browns are still not, it will become the ThirdWheel Stadium.
First-Hand Experience: Info on my personal visit to this stadium - I've seen a few Browns games here which were amazing, although I want to return to see a game in the Dawg Pound! I've also seen Boca Juniors face Celtic here (it was supposed to be AC Milan). It was a 0-0 draw but it was a good game. The stadium is absolutely wonderful, welcoming, not threatening at all. And it's right next to the lake. Perfect position by downtown. Beautiful.
Now that I've been to every NFL stadium (current and former) and seen all 32 teams play live in the flesh, time to review them on Yelp! I love stadia! I've been to every cool sports arena in the UK & North America, it's an obsession I have with travel & sport. I've roamed America as a musician for years. In that time, I've seen sports games at (or toured when empty, or both) almost every major stadium in US/Canada. Many pictures taken which I'll upload eventually. On future travels, I'll new pix, and add more stadiums! Watch this space!
***back to regular review***
This has to be one of the most perfectly located stadiums in America. It's right in the heart of downtown Cleveland, and yet right on the very banks of Lake Erie. It's spectacular. When you drive on Route 5 and find yourself twisting and turning along the lakeshore, right past the stadium, it's one of the best sights for hundreds of miles in any direction.
I've only seen one thing here... which was the Celtic vs Boca Juniors soccer game. I had tickets for AC Milan v Celtic but the Italians canceled (apparently they heard there is a lot more Polish Sausage than Italian Sausage in Cleveland). It was a really great stadium... it's a bit windy, but then that just allows maligned sports stars to eventually become windicated.
The main reason it gets 5 stars is the location. It's also a modern and spectacular stadium, it's large, it's loud (like my p****), and it's got a location that every other city envies... right on the beautiful shores of the lake in gorgeous, idyllic, tropical Cleveland, OH.
Cleveland is one of the best food cities in USA by the way. See below.
