This review is based on my experience of the 2017 Cleveland Triathlon. Its fairly well organized…read more The packet pick-up was at University Hospitals in Beachwood. The Triathlon itself was in the most scenic location in downtown Cleveland. The swim for super sprint, sprint, and olympic are separated but I wish Pacific Sports would stop using Black buoys, its difficult to see. Water is flat, good for beginners. The bike route is along the shore way, based on the race you do 8 mile loops. Be advised it is hilly, Ohio is a flat state, but in this Triathlon you will encounter most of the hills there is. But the bike scenery is a nice ride thru downtown and flats. The run portion is a good jaunt thru downtown, by the courthouse, and browns stadium, and finishing in front the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. All in all it was a great experience.

Air show....... YES!!!! Makes me feel like a kid again. Okay, maybe I never grew up, that is…read morepossible, I won't debate about it. Anyways I bought tickets for the family being as they all have never been to an Air Show and I went every year to the Dayton Air Show as a kid, and loved every minute of it. Now it was a total surprise trip for the family so they had no clue about my intentions and where we were going. The Air Show is on the Burke Lakefront Airport which is small yet nice and big enough to host such an immense crowd of aircraft and people. So to start lets say bring cash. The parking lot is cash only, this was an issue we encountered when arriving and made for an unpleasant arrival, so note that and BRING CASH! Secondly, there is more than enough seating in lawn to bring your own chair(s) and walk around and not feel like someone will walk off with your seating. If you are looking to not spend a lot more, don't, bring your own chair(s) and sit in lawn. Thirdly, bring a solid camera! I had my 16mp camera phone and yeah, well the pictures are ok, they aren't great especially with objects moving over a 150 mph. This goes especially for fighter jets like the F35, F16 Falcons (Thunderbird's) or the F16 (Blue Angels) that often attend. Fourth, be ready to spend some money. The lake front does get windy and it can get chilly. So dress appropriately or be prepared to spend even more on attire you could have brought. Merchandise is costly here. Yes, will it is highly sought after by many for commemorative reasons, it is also highly inflated in price and hard to walk away from as well. Fifth, port-o-potty. Need I say more?? Might want to bring extras like hand sanitizer and other things you may feel appropriate for this. Sixth, this is an air show might want to bring sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and earplugs, or pay the consequences of not having any of the above. Now let me being with, HAVE FUN! That's easy right?..... Right it is, or should be anyways. We bought lawn seats, which I was skeptical at first but once there was happy with seating! The planes that were grounded we AWESOME! 2019 show was great! Our kids who all had no interest in airplanes before arriving loved every second of the air show, even our teenage daughter had a blast. I know amazing right, ha ha. I can say I have not been to one in years, and this made a hard to achieve goal of having such a great show yearly. An F35C did show up for 2019s show and made a nice first impression. I seek to see a F22 Raptor live, but know I may struggle with that one. The Thunderbird's and the Blue Angels do attend Cleveland's show quite often which 2019 was the Thunderbird's. Some of the hundreds of pictures I got while there are attached, sorry if any are blurry (hence the need for a better camera). Anyways, if you are reading this and consider going, do Nike's motto and, "Just do it!" You'll feel like a kid again, and love every second of it!!

While the Airshow is Top Notch!…read more We are scratching this venue off our list due to the absurd new rules! Pre- sale only tickets. Gates close at 2:30 p.m. No tents set up if it there is a rain delay! No in & out allowed. Just treated like cattle...money grab! Are coolers allowed? Confusing... Baking in the hot humid weather is not an enjoyable time especially for Seniors. Kudos to all of the Pilots, Support Crew and Staff that do all the Heavy Lifting for this Event. This used to be our must see destination. No thanks! N

I definitely enjoyed my time and will be back next year if possible.

Beautiful stadium! Great place to party. $2 beer before first pitch. What a crazy good deal!…read more Tickets are affordable. Check the team website for good affordable prices!

Say what you will about the Guardians, but at least they play at a beautiful ballpark. Like other…read morecities in the Midwest, Cleveland has the luxury of putting its stadiums in/next to downtown, making it super walkable from the city center. Very convenient. The stadium itself has a great layout, with a field below ground level that almost makes it feel like a minor league park (with better views for fans). There's no shortage of concession stands, both in the open area closer to the entrance gates AND in the corridor directly behind the seating. Having two sections feels like a good way to keep fans moving when closer to seats, instead of letting concession lines interfere with the flow of foot traffic. Great experience here overall, except for the teams on the field. Good ballpark!

Getting into the arena for an event is easy and expedited well. I usually don't have to wait long…read morein line to get through the security check and ticket line. There is a variety of seating and food stations spread throughout the arena. Getting your food doesn't take long and is quick. The availability of staff to help is abundant. Leg room in the seats is less in the upper bowl than the lower bowl. I'm 5'9" and in the upper bowl I have just enough room. They can improve by adding more escalators to and from the upper bowl. When leaving a Cavaliers game at the end of the game a long line forms to ride the escalators down. There are other ways down. The elevators are as crowded as. The stairs lead to outside and so those heading to Tower City via the walking bridge need to take the escalators unless they take the stairs, go outside, and then come back in the entrance by the stairs leading to the walking bridge. Also, the escalator that goes from the walking bridge to the arena is broken down a lot.

Should I evacuate? Eyes burning. Throat dry. Can't see. Can't breathe. Help. -Was having a moderately mild severe allergic reaction. In desperate need of caffeine. No coffee to be seen. Makes me sad. Cannot function without coffee. -the woman at ticketing, we'll name her "wildabeast" to keep her information confidential, but she was really mean. Like angry lunch lady mean. -the water. It's a no bottle facility, but they don't have faucets, so you have to buy a bottle of water for $7, only for them to dump into cup. Seems wasteful. Lots of plastic waste. It's like they want us to be microplastic humans. And then you're at risk of someone spiking your water. Beware of creeps. -You may need to take out a loan to purchase food here. Swensons - $25 for a burger? What the helli? I could drive to the farm and go get my own burger for cheaper. -the ticket "gatekeepers" will not move. They will block your view. They're unhinged.

The concession options are limited and below average in taste and quality. There is no central screen/scoreboard, making it a challenge to keep up with the action. The seats are actually rather comfortable.

The tailgating scene there was a lot of fun. We parked in the municipal lot , which is located on the other side of the freeway from the stadium. Entry fee was fifty dollars , but with a carload of people , it makes it very reasonable. The party there was next level. People set up bars with couches , stripper poles, d j booths , and anything else you can think of. They get going way before game time. Alcohol is allowed in this lot. If you park in the lot associated with the stadium , alcohol is not allowed. I don't think grills are allowed either.But I'm not sure. Stadium is really decent also. Easy in and out the walk from the municipal lot takes about ten minutes and is not strenuous. Packers ended up losing the game and the fans were very nice about it. That's not always the case in other stadiums. I took at least 50 photos with opposing fans after the game. Rock and Roll hall of fame is also located right next to the stadium. If you're heading there for a game , you have to combine that with your visit. Pro football hall of fame is only an hour away.And also a really great experience. Appreciate the love and kindness shown by the people of Cleveland. GO PACK GO!!!!!

We had seats in section 341 and it was a nice view. The stadium was nice and most of it appeared well maintained. The rain was intermittent and we had ponchos so there's that.
