It's pretty easy. 77 N till it very briefly merges w/I-90 E exit @ Chester take a Rt (I'm pretty sure that's all you can do). Stay on Chester for about 5 miles. Shortly after 105th turn left on to Euclid (this is the tricky part). Euclid will remind you of Forbes Ave. When it looks like you've left campus look for 118th where you will turn left at the light. If you go under the RR bridge you've gone too far.

There is no parking (except busses) on the stadium side of 118th. The layout will remind you of a newer Gesling with the seating built into the parking garage. Unlike Gesling you might be charged $5 to park in the garage, or not (was last year, not for Kenyon this year). But unlike Gesling you can see the field from the top. If you choose the stands, I'm not sure what the procedure is for visiting team passes.

I have some issues to resolve, but hope make it. If I do I'll be on the top by a gold Intrepid.

BTW a car in front of me today had a CMU sticker. It braked to turn before turning on turn signal.

Thanks for the info. Did you mean turn left at the "light" at 118th?? You wrote turn left at the "right".

I am sure my family and I will sit in the stands but I may make way up to the top and look for you. Do you usually stand by yourself?

I hope its a good game and you can make it.

Hey scotty, what's wrong with some actual football discussion on here??? Maybe it will attract some newbies who have no clue about logarithims and exponentials.

That's a good one cwru70. I don't know for sure what the exact date that CMU has open is. It will look a little different as the UAA and NCAC will be playing a sort of combined schedule. But I think CMU should definitely look for some stiffer competition because I really think they are a team that is on the rise with some good youth mixed with experience.

i am happy for you guys...if "Time would let me" i would stick around but the Tree of Wisdom at Oberlin beckons...the truth be known, i am a Karma slut...

ADL70 · October 11, 2006, 09:02:25 PM

yes that would be left at the light!

BDTartan · October 11, 2006, 09:24:59 PM

Okay, thanx, was kinda confused since you said there was a part that was tricky. I know there are some roads in Pittsburgh where a left at the right would make sense to some folks.

By the way, in case you get to the game and I don't see you you are interested, my brother is #37 and always has the wide side of the field at his DT spot. He pretty much splits time 50/50 with the starter. Usually they go two series at a time.

ADL70 · October 11, 2006, 09:35:38 PM

Yeah, when you get to the fork take it!

BDTartan · October 11, 2006, 09:50:58 PM

Hahaha, that's funny because I was just looking at the map on CWRU's website and there is probably 15 forked roads on campus, but I should have no problem now after looking at the map. It seems pretty simple.

Hey, if we keep this up we can finally get this up to a "Very Hot Topic"

Wizardman · October 11, 2006, 11:20:25 PM

Case isn't that hard to get around, at least in my opinion. Neither's CMU either, it's just when you're leaving CMU to go home that it's torture. But like I've said, I've been around Case a few times and to me it's pretty easy.

BDTartan · October 12, 2006, 08:46:00 AM

Wizardman, I would be interested as to how you leave CMU because if you go back through Pitt than it is torture. And I have no clue where you go when you leave but if you needed to get back on to 376 then there is a much easier way to get there than going back through Pitt. I don't know the name of the streets but I could tell you by landmarks if you ever needed to know.

Wizardman · October 12, 2006, 01:25:29 PM

Thankfully I've never had to go back through Pittsburgh from CMU, I just went West on the highway, once I finally found which highway I was supposed to be on.

ADL70 · October 12, 2006, 07:07:04 PM

If I miss you, hope your brother has a great game. We'll just have to get our yards to the short side, around end, and through the air.

With all this talk of east Cleveland geography I'm surprised we haven't stirred up Frank Uible. [sorry for misspelling] Frank are U out there?

Forecasat is for a windy day in Cleveland. Will it hurt CWRU's O?

frank uible · October 12, 2006, 11:47:52 PM

I'm here. What I know about Cleveland geography ended in 1969 - although I believe I could find my way to Euclid Avenue between E. 115th Street and E. 118th Street.

Wizardman · October 13, 2006, 01:03:49 PM

Yeah, I pretty much just know the Jacobs Field/Q Arena area. And how to get to Case, but not much else. I remember that you have to go down a street where one side is very run-down and the other side is actually pretty nice. It's an eerie feeling. I'd have no way of knowing where to drive on the east side.

BDTartan · October 13, 2006, 02:12:17 PM

Hahaha, yeah I hope he does well too. He's been fighting since camp to start but he is just a little undersized and was moved to a different position other than what he studied the playbook for for the second straight year. It kind of shows his athleticism and versatility, but I am sure its frustrating for him. He has handled it well so far. I will try to make it to the top of the garage. Gold Intrepid right??

ADL70 · October 13, 2006, 04:33:21 PM

Looks like family stuff is going to keep me from getting up to the game.

Again good game to your bro', but I hope CWRU wins. I don't wxpect the latter, but neither do I expect the 35-14 forecast from Hansen.

Frank the roads are about the same. The biggest change you would see would be the slums along Chester have been torn down and replaced with new residential construction.
