Forget rings — how do you feel about free ice cream, Cleveland?
Tuesday is scheduled to be a big day in The Land, as the Cleveland Indians host Game 1 of the World Series, while just a few dozen feet away, the Cleveland Cavaliers open their season and receive their 2015-16 Championship rings.
As our own Steve Aschburner recently wrote, LeBron James jokingly suggested the only way to make the evening better might be to have free ice cream available outside both stadiums.
“I don’t know, having an ice cream truck outside of both arenas at the same time as well — the icing on the cake,” James quipped following the Cavaliers’ practice Thursday afternoon. “It’s great. We get to host the World Series and we get our rings on the same night at the same time. If we had a retractable roof it would be probably the loudest we ever heard, so it’s pretty special.”
And when LeBron speaks, people listen. So Blue Bunny Ice Cream is going to do their best to take things to the next level in Cleveland on Tuesday night. And while it’s not an ice cream truck outside the arena, a semi-truck full of ice cream seems to be a pretty fair trade…
Hey Cleveland, @KingJames asked for an ice cream truck to make tomorrow even more fun. Free ice cream is coming – see you soon! #WonForAll pic.twitter.com/mndv7TsJtB
