Cleveland Browns Opener Adventure 2013

Even though we may not have won this year, the Browns opener was still a helluva good time!  
From the Muni Lot to the after party - here's our Browns opener adventure this year in photos:

 

We got to the Muni Lot at maybe 10am?  We were a bit late, but still plenty of time to pre game!

 

This is just Brett and me - aren't we cute?  Very excited. 

 
 

 This is the first site of the Lot - crowded with tons of awesome Browns fans!

 

 We set up shop with a few friends already down there.  Evidently there's a new-ish law that you can't bring alcohol into Muni Lot... but there were tons of cops around seeing sites much worse than this, and nothing really happened.  Maybe it's just a law on paper?  You do definitely have to have cups with you - I think you do get cited if you drink from the can/bottle itself.

 

Loved this! A bit too extreme for us at 11am, so we didn't participate, but loved the idea of a two-story beer bong for the more daring Browns fans.

 

This was a new one! Keg bowling!  We saw this close to where the "Browns Bunch" group set up shop.  Tons of spectators watching a few dudes hurl empty kegs at bowling pins - ha!

 

There were a TON of dogs - of course - rooting on the dawg pound.  I didn't get a great shot of this one, but this was the friendliest cutest dog in the entire world.

 

TOTALLY surprised there were so many kids - AND babies - in Muni Lot this year!  One super proud Browns Dad paraded his new born daughter around, holding her up next to his head like the game ball! Crazy, right?!

 

Photo of all the boys in their gear - love it :)

 

And then on to the game!  This was the view from our seats - right below the score board.  Lots of awesome people up there.

 

Especially us!

Would love to show you the video of The Presidents of the United States of America playing, "Peaches," because that was the ridiculously awesome half time show, but I'm a little lazy right now and will upload later.

Some of the other photos from the game didn't turn out so well, just sad faces mostly because we were unfortunately getting whooped by the Dolphins.  They beat us 23-10... :(

 

Then off to the after party!  We walked around until we found some room to breathe - in the Corner Alley.  We ate our faces off... and drank more.  That's Brett & his brother Bryan.

Then off to Bar Louie to find more people to hang out with. It's crazy how many people go out on a Sunday night... but then again, it is football season.

All in all we walked more than 5 miles around Cleveland! Which is awesome - that means we burned over 500 calories at least (but sucks when you think that that really only burned off 5 beers - oh well!).
