Sitting
on one of the most hallowed grounds of the
NFL, football has been played at the same
location that Cleveland Stadium sits on
for more than a half a century. In the late
1980’s and early 1990’s, owner
of the Browns, Art Model proposed that a
new stadium be built for his team. Their
current home, Cleveland Municipal Stadium,
was very old and deteriorating. They also
had to share the stadium with the Cleveland
Indians (MLB). After the 1993 season, the
Indians moved into Jacobs Field in downtown
Cleveland. The Browns still did not have
a new stadium. After not being able to reach
an agreement to build a stadium for the
Browns, Modell decided to move the team
to Baltimore after the 1995 season.
