My dad will be using my wife's ticket for the Arizona game so she is looking for stuff to do (along with my mom) during the game. Any ideas? They don't need to stay downtown as they'll have the car. Thanks!

West Side Market and Ohio City is a no-brainer!

Yeah, Cleveland Art Museum is incredible... and it's free.

BTW... just looking, CAM closes at 5:00, West Side Market closes at 4:00. I'm assuming you'll be there pretty early though.

It looks like most of museums are requiring masks. Don't know if that's a deterrant for most people, but it would be for me.

A Christmas story house

West side market


"First down inside the 10. A score here will put us in the Super Bowl. Cooper is far to the left as Njoku settles into the slot. Moore is flanked out wide to the right. Chubb and Ford are split in the backfield as Watson takes the snap ... Here we go."

There's a butcher at the West Side Market who sells beef sticks (we always called them Smokies or Slim Jims) that are so good they make the trip worth it.

Thanks everyone! Are there any nice malls/shopping near downtown? Anything like the Columbus Easton or Polaris areas? Shopping is unfortunately one of my wife's favorite pastimes.

I don't think the west side market is open on Sundays.


My wife goes to the Cleveland Museum of Art when faced with the same deal. The Natural History Museum is very nice as well, so if your wife and Mom like museums, both are world class. We will be going during our stay over for the Thursday night game.

On Sundays the Art museum is open until 5PM. They can head there at noon while you and Pops ready for tailgating...do their thing, have dinner, then see you at the room. You two have dinner at the stadium.

The art museum currently has a Van Gogh special exhibit at this time. We look forward to that. It is in conjunction with a Van Gogh Immersive Van Gogh exhibit at another location for which we have tickets on Wednesday afternoon. Looking forward to both.

OK...we both like and support the Arts....I do like the Browns more.
