Fixed the problem by placing this outside of the page loop.
modify .htcaccess to tell google that /blog is your url. Something like this:
RewriteRule ^blog http://www.mysite.com [R=301,L]
Something along those lines I believe. Hope that points you in the right direction.
So the second issue was resolved with assigning a variable.
<?php
$event_url = get_field('event_website');
?>
<?php
echo "<div id='event_website'>";
echo "<a href='".get_field('event_website')."' target='_blank'>$event_url</a>";
echo "</div>";
?>
Now I just need to link it to an external location. Currently it links as such.
wwww.thisismysite.com/internapage/www.eventsite.com
