Thursday Night Lights or Vinnie's Guide To Watching A Browns Road Game

Vinnie's Guide To Watching A Browns Game
(On The Road Edition)


First things first.  Gather everything Browns related; anything brown or orange, even candy.  Any reason to eat candy is a good reason.  Plus, sugar! 










This includes pouring beer from a Browns edition Bud Light can into a Browns edition Bud Light pint glass and drinking said beer. In fact, imbibing is encouraged.

Sugar, √.
Beer, √.

So far, so good. 










Next, find a bunch of Browns fans and do a few shots.  This part is a little tricky.  You want to make it to the game under your own power, BUT you also want to hit that euphoric state provided by alcohol so use discretion and do like the pros do by practicing during the week leading up to game day.












Make your way to the stadium.













On your way to the stadium, you can either blend in with the opposition or, if you're rolling deep enough with other Browns fans, get loud and antagonize the other fans by chanting "Here We Go Brownies".















Get to your seats and chat with the home team fans as they offer free drinks to help dull the pain.
















BONUS:  At halftime, chat with strangers for more free drinks or run into a couple you met in Utah who happens to be travelling through and decided to catch a Thursday night game while they were in town.  (Special shout out to Tiff and James)











And that's about it.  If you're lucky, you'll see the Browns win.  If not, you'll at least get a good buzz and possibly make a few connections.  Either way, have fun and GO BROWNS!


This Sunday, the always hated rival Steelers stop into town as we work on our first dubya. Stay tuned!

Browns Trivia Fail or You're Not A Real Browns Fan, Charlie Brown

Image
So there I was at Scalper's Bar and Grille during a filming of Fox Sports Ohio's, Beer Money. I signed up for a chance to win cash by answering Browns trivia from Jensen Lewis. Before we got started I told him about the Browns Tour 2016 and even plugged the blog. The first question was essentially, "Who was the Browns quarterback in 1981?" I froze.  My mind was drawing a blank.  Why could I not think of Brian Sipe? Someone helped me from the crowd, but the damage was done. Perhaps I should have read this book that I've been carrying around all season...

Sweet Souvenir Cup Collection or One For The Road

Image
We didn't talk about it much, but I managed to grab a souvenir cup at every game I attended.  Towards the end of the season though, I ran into a problem.  The Browns had a series of six cups with different players on each one.  As the season wound down, I was having a hard time tracking down the Joe Thomas cup.  I found one in a display once, but the concession stand attendants were not very helpful in allowing me to take it.  Not to be discouraged, I contacted the Browns fan relations department who put me in touch with Aramark Food Services and after a few weeks of back and forth, I FINALLY got the last cup to complete my collection. Without further ado, here are some pictures of them throughout the season and the final product. Fun fact : Out of the 9 stadiums I visited, Philadelphia was the only one that served a souvenir beer. Another fun fact : Due to the cold weather in Buffalo, they served souvenir "Hot Cups" in place of souvenir ...

The End of the Road or Last Dance With Yinz

When I first planned this tour, I said that this final game would be the hardest one to attend because of it being played on New Year's Day, however, if I made it to the first 15 you'd be hard pressed to stop me from going to this one.  After making arrangements with my cousin who lives in the Pittsburgh area with her Steelers fan husband (booooooo), we settled in for a fun New Year's Eve party at their place and a thoroughly entertaining game day experience on January 1st. First things first.  In all of the years attending Browns games in the tailgate lots, I NEVER saw an opposing team's gear being sold.  Yet here we are in Pittsburgh and I see Browns gear and a decent selection of it to boot. My Cousin Jenny and I made our presence known on North Shore Drive just outside of Heinz Field. One thing I enjoyed was all of the bars and eateries on this strip where you could hang out outside with a burger and a beer before the game. After wal...
