May 19, 201114 yr :clap: Cleveland to host national rowing championship The Greater Cleveland Sports Commission has done it again. The group, which attracts sporting events to and creates them for the region, has partnered with USRowing and the Cleveland Rowing Foundation to create a national championship rowing competition. The inaugural edition of the USRowing Masters Head Race National Championship will take place next Sept. 16 on the Cuyahoga River; the groups announced the event on Tuesday night at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the $3 million Rivergate Park on the Columbus Road peninsula in the Flats. http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20110518/FREE/110519850
October 28, 201113 yr Where the hell did this come from and how come we didn't know about this?? Tennis Takes Center Stage at Cleveland's Public Hall Tonight http://www.clevelandleader.com/node/17714
October 28, 201113 yr Its been advertised on Cleveland.com for a while now... But other than that, who knew?
February 1, 201312 yr Rumor mill....US Men's Soccer national team to Cleveland: http://m.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/01/30/report-us-meet-belgium-cleveland-may-friendly
February 1, 201312 yr ^Hey, that'd be great. Where would they play, Browns Stadium? May is not very far away---so if it is only a rumor--yet true--it should made official soon.....
February 1, 201312 yr im hearing this is true from a really reliable source as well. THe only place that could handle that type of event would be Cleveland Browns Stadium. Would be great. I wish we could get an MLS team, but i wouldnt care if the stadium was in macedonia. I would want it on the near west side.

A surface lot, wedged between two gorgeous buildings that would frame the best, most intimate stadium in MLS. I'd say more, but then you would steal my idea and get rich lol.

The week after would be more World Cup qualifying games so this would be used as a tune up for all those coming out of their club seasons in Europe.
December 11, 201311 yr Division 1 wrestling championships coming to Cleveland in 2018 :clap: :clap: The National Collegiate Athletic Association will bring three championship events to Greater Cleveland in 2017 and 2018, the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission announced Wednesday. Professional golf returns with anticipated Cleveland Tour The championship events awarded will contribute a combined $18 to $23 million of economic activity to the region and bring over 25,000 visitors to the area. http://www.19actionnews.com/story/24195441/division-1-wrestling-championships-coming-to-cleveland-in-2018
December 18, 201311 yr Hardly knew they existed. Oh well. Lingerie football team Cleveland Crush bolting for Toledo CLEVELAND - Cleveland is losing a football team but this time it’s a lingerie-clad group. The Cleveland Crush, a member of the Legends Football League that plays at Quicken Loans Arena, is moving to Toledo. They will play their games for the upcoming 2014 season at the Huntington Center. http://www.newsnet5.com/sports/sports-blogs-local/lingerie-football-team-cleveland-crush-bolting-for-toledo
December 19, 201311 yr I couldn't imagine a creepier audience going to one of their games. "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck
December 19, 201311 yr There were plans to make it a legit women's league. The lingerie was a gimmick to gain media attention at the start and, at some point, they would wear regular jerseys as the league became established.
December 19, 201311 yr Nothing establishes legitimacy in sports like playing in lacy undergarments. I believe that's what the Jets plan for next year.

April 16, 201411 yr Web.com Tour coming to Lakewood Country Club June 5-8 CLEVELAND - Professional golf is coming to Cleveland this summer. The Web.com Tour will bring the Cleveland Open to Lakewood Country Club in Westlake June 5-8. Executive Director of the Cleveland Open Ben Cooke said this tournament will have a huge impact on the local community. “I think for Cleveland it means a number of things. In terms of economic impact we’re talking about six to eight million dollars to the community and huge charitable donations to the charitable partners,” Cooke said. The Cleveland Open will feature 156 golfers competing over 72 holes of stroke play for a purse of $600,000. All four rounds of the tournament will be televised on the Golf Channel. Cooke said this will put the Northeast Ohio on a world stage. "It gives us a chance to tell Cleveland's story to a much wider audience particularly the golf channel audience,” Cooke said. “It's 192 countries and I think we are going to be able to do something’s during the broadcast to show what a great city this is and the great things that have been happening here recently." ....................... The Cleveland Open will be hosted and organized by the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, partnering with Milestone Sports Management of Westlake. “We really are becoming one of the top cities in this country for the hosting of major events and this will certainly rise to the top of this list,” said David Gilbert, President and CEO of the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission. http://www.newsnet5.com/sports/recreation-sports/golf/webcom-tour-coming-to-lakewood-country-club-june-5th-8th
April 17, 201411 yr Really? You don't consider Lakewood to be part of Greater Cleveland? Weren't the Cavaliers from Cleveland when they played in Richfield? The Giants and the Jets play in a different state!!
April 17, 201411 yr ^^got me thinking...is there a golf course in Cleveland proper? Little Met is technically in the city isn't it?
April 17, 201411 yr Not a knock on the Cleveland open...just thought it is odd that it is not in Cle but at Lakewood CC which is NOT in Lakewood but in Westlake. Other than some metroparks courses, I can't think of any courses in Cle proper.
June 8, 20169 yr Transplant games of America hosting in Cleveland this weekend: https://www.facebook.com/Transplant-Games-of-America-218395054888480/ Schedule: http://www.transplantgamesofamerica.org/cmsproxy/5/files/TGA%20-%20Event%20Schedule(3).pdf
September 23, 20177 yr Here's an idea Cleveland (and GCSC) could mimic: As a shout out to Cleveland, who only has college football at the NCAA D3 level...and doesn't attempt to regain/engage civic interest. As I type this right now, Minneapolis is hosting 35K+ local fans watching their local NCAA football teams at Target Field...featuring two D3 schools of St. Thomas vs St. Johns. http://m.mlb.com/twins/tickets/info/tommie-johnnie-football http://www.startribune.com/34-000-tickets-already-sold-for-st-thomas-st-john-s-football-game-at-target-field/446623873/ This is reminiscent of Cleveland's "Big Four" football days when they would use the Cleveland Indians' League Park to host college football games. For example, here is a photo of (Case) Western Reserve vs Baldwin Wallace (where Lee Tressel coached) in 1935: https://books.google.com/books?id=RFvzem5opK0C&pg=PT129&lpg=PT129&dq=john+carroll+%22western+reserve%22+1935+football+league+park&source=bl&ots=gXwurarrWC&sig=yJq7U2NEwWIMF9_rtJL-nP0JKyg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi87NvfkrzWAhVEMGMKHdDmCvYQ6AEIQTAF#v=onepage&q=john%20carroll%20%22western%20reserve%22%201935%20football%20league%20park&f=false NEO has three teams ranked in the Top 25 at NCAA D3 (out of 249 teams), and there is never any local promotion or pride. # 2 Mount Union # 9 John Carroll #18 Case Western Reserve Or at the very least, Cleveland could host local MAC schools, such as Akron or Kent State, who only average 10K fans a game at home.
March 8, 20187 yr GCSC quietly continues to host national events. This weekend and next weekend are the NCAA DI and DIII Wrestling Championships, held at Public Auditorium and Quicken Loans Arena: http://www.clevelandsports.org/Events
