RTA – the best way to see the Browns play this year

 

CLEVELAND – The Cleveland Browns host their annual Family Day at 1 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9, at Browns Stadium. The event is free; tickets are required. A family-oriented tailgate party starts at 10:30 a.m. Gates open at 11 a.m.

 

RTA will offer extra rail service for this event. Trains on the Waterfront Line will take you to the West Third Street Station, directly across the street from a Stadium entrance.

 

The Browns open their pre-season at home at 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 22, against Detroit. RTA is ready to take you to all home games this season, with extra rail service before and after each home game.

 

Rail service

 

Fans can ride any RTA rail line to Tower City. Riders on the Blue and Green Lines can usually stay on the train to reach the Waterfront Line, and Red Line riders can transfer to the Waterfront Line.

 

Waterfront Line trains will drop off riders at the West Third Street Station, across the street from the Browns Stadium. Extra service begins about two hours before each game.

 

Cash fares do not include transfer privileges, so fans are urged to purchase an All-Day Pass. This is especially important for customers who need to transfer from the Red Line to the Waterfront Line. All-Day Passes, available from every RTA farebox, offer unlimited ridership until 3 a.m. the next day.

 

RTA offers more than 7,000 free parking spaces at rail stations and park-and-ride lots throughout Cuyahoga County.

 

After the game

 

As you approach the West Third Street Station, you will be directed to stand in lines marked

  • Green Line/Flats
  • Blue Line/Flats
  • Tower City only

to designate which trains you need to reach your final destination.

 

If you need an elevator, enter the station building and use the elevator to reach the platform.

 

If you are traveling eastbound to the Municipal Parking Lot, walk down the stairs inside the station to reach the platform. RTA staff will direct you to the eastbound trains.

 

RTA supervisors and Transit Police will be at the West Third Street Station building and platform to help you. Please follow their directions.
