Home Teams: Cleveland Browns (NFL)
Cleveland nearly lost its NFL franchise in 1995, when the owner tried to move much-beloved (if often much-beleaguered) Cleveland Browns to Baltimore. General uproar and threats of legal action ensued. In the end, a solution of sorts was found, with the Browns relocating to Baltimore and becoming the Baltimore Ravens, but with a “new” franchise called the Cleveland Browns allowed to rejoin league play starting in 1999. Cleveland Browns Stadium opened just in time for preseason in 1999, welcoming the Cleveland Browns back to the NFL. The team has, unfortunately, seriously struggled, leading Mike Polk, a comedian and fan, to dub the new stadium the “Factory of Sadness.” Along with all regular season Browns home games (and playoff games, if they ever get to one!), the Cleveland Browns Stadium plays host to several big college and high school football showdowns, as well as concerts, international soccer matches, and motorsports. Arriving at the stadium with an empty stomach is not a problem, with burgers, nachos, pizza, and more (as well as plenty of beer!) for sale around the premises. Kiosks and shops inside and around the Cleveland Browns Stadium hawk team and event merchandise.
