Cleveland airport to IX Center is an 8 minute car ride. Lyft right now is $12.
IX Center to downtown Cleveland is 17 minutes by car. Lyft is $19. You can schedule Lyfts and Uber in advance, so you aren't waiting. The Guardians are in-town Monday through Thursday this year. Many people would say Guardians games are more affordable than Wrigley and in a much better location than Guaranteed Rate Field. Hotels are cheaper than Chicago (if cost is the main variable of concern), even factoring in the Lyfts. There are a ton of restaurants, bars, and even breweries within walking distance of the ballpark. The IX Center has 20% more exhibition space than the Donald Stephens in Chicago. |

I'm curious, how would the National in Cleveland compare to a show like the Chicago Sports Spectacular at Rosemont? I'm sure the National will be bigger. But how much bigger?

Leave the I-X Center and take Kolthoff Dr., the left just before Berea Hwy, go about a mile where it merges with Berea you will find 5 places to eat plus a Circle K and a DD's.
On Berea: Donte's Restaurant and Pizza Speedy Cafe inside Speedway Gas (cheap pizza) Subway Circle K DD's On Front St - forks to the left after Speedway Grindstone Tap House The Hydrant Pub and Grub

It’s a little early for me to feel any bit of excitement, as I’m still exhausted from the holidays and just coming to terms with 2024. However, that didn’t stop me from booking a room and cashing into my SW miles for a free flight to Cleveland. That gives me over six months to light a fire under my rear and get my checklists together.
If last year’s attendance is any indication of what we can expect this year, you may want to get a head start on your travel plans. I’ll be traveling from CA and will see ya’ll out there. |

According to the new management team in an interview a few months ago they said that
"Chicago prior to this year used 336,000 square feet this year they blew up to 560,000 square feet Cleveland's building is going to be 420,000 square feet" You can hear it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCjPy1d-No0&t=3772s
