$363 to Cinn R/T, not bad. Tuesdays are always the best time to look I hear.

Not sure where I'll set up yet, but somewhere on campus within easy walking distance of stadium. Agree on checking out Dayton for flights...easy drive to Cincy.

Cleveland sucks, but both Columbus and Cincinnati are pretty good cities. Cinci has done a ton the past couple of years with building up the riverfront and it is a great area. The area around UC isn't the safest, but it is changing with lots of new building going on. And UC has some of the most interesting architecture of any college I have ever seen.



I live in Cleveland (do not agree with quotes above). I will be attending Game. Univ Cincy is building huge new stadium and the school is growing and having success. It should be great atmosphere for game.

Cleveland really has made an effort to fix up its downtown area, anchored by baseball and football stadiums--it actually looks better than downtown Dallas with nothing but bus stops and closed department stores. Laura Miller and Annette Straus should have taken a hard look at Cleveland when all they could see was enriching the franchise owners.

Having said that, it doesn't come close to the growth of Dallas outside our central business district and have I mentioned the weather?

Downtown Cleveland has done a pretty good job and I have certainly enjoyed my time there. Doubt I will make it this season but hopefully next time.

Well, I was impressed! They really had little to work with save for the lake and the port. I also thought it was clean, but then I didn't see many people walking around (July) the city streets.
