If you can, you might as well stay and extra day and take in the solar eclipse while you're there.

Will be interesting to see how Cleveland does with hotel rooms and traffic.

I've been seeing all knds of articles around here to make sure that you have gas, food and patience. We're not even in totality where I'm at. A lot of schools are cancelling because parents are taking their kids out of school.

I wonder if anybody at the NCAA or in Cleveland thought about the two events coinciding when they booked the Final Four??

Not bloody likely. I'll be watching from the comfort of my couch, as always.

Yes. From what I'm hearing where I'm at, traffic will be crazy and good luck finding a hotel room. I just did a quick search on Expedia and staying in Cleveland from April 5 to April 8 will run you $800-1,200+. And a lot of those only have one room left.

More will open up if Cleveland is forecast to have rainy, cloudy weather and eclipse chasers decide to go somewhere else or to stay home. Will be interesting to hear complaints when people try to get hotel rooms and find out that there aren't any.

I'm hearing about gas shortages expected because of all of the people that will be travelling to areas of totality, so you know prices will go up.

When the 2017 eclipse went through, I read where people were stuck in traffic f o r e v e r.

From the top of a Google search for "traffic jams aug 2017 eclipse"

Quote:
Across the country, Interstate highways near the path of totality experienced traffic congestion shortly after the eclipse, with longer-than-normal travel times on Interstate highways. For example, travel from Casper, Wyoming, to Denver, Colorado— normally a 4-hour trip—took 10 hours or more.


This will happen Monday afternoon/evening, but you can get an idea of the number of extra people that will be in town, maybe not so much Friday/Saturday, but I'd think Saturday evening and Sunday will be crazy.

I found this from two years ago.

Quote:
She expects hundreds of thousands of people to flock to Northeast Ohio for the total eclipse.
