Cleveland Browns Stadium

However in 1996, the City of Cleveland and the NFL secured a deal to return the Cleveland Browns to the city by 1999. The deal stipulated that the name, colors and heritage of the Browns would remain in Cleveland. Meanwhile Cleveland Municipal Stadium was being demolished. On May 15, 1997, construction on a new stadium began on the same site of Cleveland Municipal Stadium. Construction was completed in time for the home opener on September 12, 1999. The stadium was named Cleveland Browns Stadium. Over 73,200 orange seats are located throughout the stadium. Two three-tier grandstands are located on both sides of the gridiron. A section of 10,000 bleacher seats, known as the "Dawg Pound", are located at the east end of the stadium. Additional seating is located behind each endzone. Two video/scoreboard are located beyond the seating area behind the endzones. Architectural gaps in the seating bowl at Cleveland Browns Stadium at the Southeast and Southwest entrance plazas allow visitors to view the field and the inside of the Stadium even when the Browns are not playing. Excellent views of downtown Cleveland and Lake Erie can also be seen from the stadium. Several amenities are located at Cleveland Browns Stadium including the Browns Hall of Fame, team store, and The Grille and Sports Bar. There has been recent talk of adding a dome to the stadium in an effort to get a future Super Bowl.
