Stadium Overview
Cleveland Browns Stadium opened in 1999 on the former site of Cleveland Municipal Stadium, continuing the city’s long football tradition. The stadium was constructed as part of the Browns return to the NFL after the franchise relocation in the mid 1990s. Over the years, the venue has undergone multiple renovations including major upgrades in 2014 and 2015 that improved seating, scoreboards, and fan amenities. The stadium has hosted NFL games, college football matchups, concerts, and international soccer events.
