There will be a TON of people that go out just to see football, there will be a lot of Wisconsin fans, and of course all the BG people that make the trek.

I agree. I think the local media will be able to get some buzz behind the game just because of the uniquness of the deal. More Badgers are likely to drive down just because it is in an NFL stadium, there will be locals who just want to see a Football game at Browns Stadium but haven't been able to get tickets, fans of the B10 in general might come out, and the game isn't exactly outside of our fan base either. I think we will set a MAC "home" game attendance record for this game and get some great exposure.

We always say what a great fan base we have in Cleveland. This will be the oppertunity to find out. Plus I bet FalconFreak90 will be stirring some people up there too.

btw.... how many days are we down to?

I know I see BG plates and bumper stickers all over the place when I am driving. There are at least a dozen alumni where I work. Hmmm....if I am still there, maybe I could get management to make it an employee outing? We do it with the Indians, but it would be impossible with the Browns...this sounds like a perfect opportunity.

I was offered a job at Progressive Insurance based near Cleveland when I graduated. Had I accepted that job I would've been the 5th BG grad in their database programming department.

I know there are plenty of BG grads in C-town.

NE Ohio is crawling with BG grads. I read somewhere that almost %50 of BG grads come from NE Ohio. I thought that was a pretty large number but it could be possible.

Cuyahoga County is the second largest draw for students next to Lucas County. I don't think it is 50%, but it is probably around 30 something with all of NEO included.

I was told by the Career Center when I graduated (the first time) that 46 or 47% of all BG grads are either from "Cleveland" or will live in "Cleveland" at some point in their lives.
