In 1998, my family was at Jacobs Field when the Indians clinched the Central Division. That was fun to see.
In 2001 I went with my friend Steve to see the Browns. This is the game where the refs reversed a Browns' first down call and went back to a previous play (a big NO NO!!). All hell broke loose and a zillion plastic beer bottles went sailing onto the field, there were numerous arrests, and the game was nearly forfeited. Steve and I just watched in shock from the upper deck. It was like a chain reaction!
We had taken the city bus to the game so we wouldn't have to park at the muni lot (which charges an arm and a leg). I thought about times where as a kid, the class would go on the bus after misbehaving on a field trip and a grown up would yell. Steve and I boarded the bus after the game with quite a few meek, sheepish fans. I kept expecting the bus driver to yell at us, which of course he didn't.
I arrived home, flipped on TV and saw that the incident was the top story in the country!! :eek: We even made Jay Leno's monologue. My folks were in PA that day visiting my sister at college. On the way home, they heard the news on the radio that a near riot had erupted at Cleveland Browns Stadium!! They were relieved to find me safe, sound...and sober. ;)
