  • Browns at Patriots in 1992. I was sitting at the sideline at the end zone where Scott Galbraith caught the game-winning TD at the end of the game to win 19-17.

    Here's the box score:

    "I said, 'I need someone who's going to want to get on the roller coaster with me knowing that it's not always going to be fun,'" -Paul DePodesta

  • Cool thread. Wish I had been there for games in the old stadium.

    I was at all those games posted from 2007 on up. One that was particularly memorable for me was the 2008 Browns beating the Giants, who were the defending Super Bowl Champs. And a Monday night game to boot.

  • Toss up between 3 games for me.

    -2004 opening against the Ratbirds. That was the first game my father had attended since 94'. He had some issues in the early going bonding with the new team.

    -2007 home opener vs the Bungles. After we get trashed by the Steelers, Anderson comes in and throws for a billion yards. Then we go nuts as the score board shows Lewis broke the 200 mark. Easy E picking off that last pass to finish it.

    -2013 vs the Bills. I was still reeling from the Tribe losing, friend grabbed us tickets not 25 feet from Deion and crew. Awesome weather, solid crowd and a great finish to the game.

    I would mention a few games I attended as a kid in 92 & 94, but those still hurt.

  • old timer here - 1989 Vikings / Browns at Muni - http://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/198912170cle.htm

    Snowiest and coldest weekend before Christmas - we flew in on Friday and stayed with friends in Barberton,

    of a friend who came with us from Minny - (TW if anyone can recognize the initials...) these guys sure knew how to party!

    Hot tub - drinking around the clock... Canton Hall of Fame museum visit on saturday

    and a freezing cold day on Sunday with an OT winner (as viewed from our endzone seats off to the side of the dawgpound left field)

    Browns drove the field and lined up for a short field goal - Mike Pagel (holder) and hit Van Waiters ( linebacker!!) for the walkoff TD

    Best Browns game? My first of course...

    Dad took me to see the Browns for my 11th Birthday on opening day... Sept. 15, 1963.

    Beautiful day... brilliant sunshine... lush green field...

    40-ish yard line seats on the first base side...

    Upper deck...

    ... in front of the support columns.

    We killed Washington that day...

    Jim Brown not only ran wild (162 yds on 15 carries), but caught three passes for 100.

    Dr. Frank passed for over 300...

    The stats and all are from the link below... memory is not that good.

    My most vivid memory is of Brown sweeping right, carrying the ball like a loaf of bread as usual, and near the end of the run finding himself among three or four opponents, one of whom swatted the ball out of his hand. He stood in their midst and looked left and right before he spotted the ball, dove in for it and got it back. It seemed like he was looking forever...

    Wow Tour. That is amazing. That was my first Browns game too and I was eleven tears old and there with my dad! Don't remember a whole lot about the game other than we won.

    Two-way tie for Father-of-the-year 1963...

    What was the name of "the man in the brown suit" that shagged FG attempts kicked towards home plate in old Muni?

  • 1. Monday Night 1993 vs the San Francisco 49ers where the Browns beat the 49ers 20-13.

    2. Week 2 2000 season home vs the Steelers Courtney Brown sacks Kent Graham as time was expiring, before the Steelers could get their field goal unit on the field preserving the 23-20 victory and giving the new Browns their first home win since their return.

    3.1995 28-10 victory vs the Kansas City Chiefs.

    4. Monday Night 1992 vs the Miami Dolphins. Bernie Kosar despite a broken ankle, rallies the Browns back to tie the game in a duel vs Dan Marino, only to fall short in the last seconds as Marino Magic strikes again with the game winning touchdown.

    Only one here in the new stadium... the 2012 loss to Buffalo.

    But look on the bright side. Iit appears your odds of seeing a winner are on the rise.

    Does BA have direct flights from Gatwick to Hopkins? 😉

  • I've looked in to it and easiest is probably changing at Toronto. Not cheapest, mind you! If the Browns ever come to London, I'm on it.

    If the timing works out, I wouldn't mind seeing a game in Wembley myself... plus I still have to visit Ireland.

    Pub crawl before and after?

    My cousins from Anglaland were just in. They got some really cheap rates by coming into Toronto via Iceland. They had to do a two day layover in Iceland....but got really cheap rates as part of a promotion for Icelandic tourism. Check it out.

    I took them on a tour of Cleveland just yesterday and they really liked it.

    And by the way, I took them by The Christmas Story House....but they had never heard of the movie.

    That is one of the all time most favorite movies....for Americans at least. Did it not have that same attraction in the UK?

  • A Christmas Story? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085334/

    Never heard of it :S in a side side note for another thread, favourite christmas movies have to be Muppets Christmas Carol, Die Hard 2 and Home Alone.

    Toronto's probably the way to go, and via Iceland might be interesting. I'm going for a job at the moment where if I get it I have 2 weeks in Toronto for training, which might work out nicely for visiting.

    If the Browns are in London, you better believe there'll be a pub crawl. Though, Wembley's not in the nicest part of town, and still stupid expensive because of tourists.

    For me it was the Browns double overtime victory over the jets. Ill be honest, it was freezing and i was ready to leave early, but my friend at the time refused to go. He saved me from being ' that guy' regretting leaving early.

    Since then i never leave a game early, you never know what might happen. This past weekends steeler game reminded me of that.

    I was freezing cold, out of beer money, and ready to head back to y-town. We stuck it out and ended up having an amazing time.

    I dont see the friend anymore, he became a crackhead and used to call people out of his yearbook trying to get money, but damn what a memory.

    Tour, you know when the Browns play in Wembley- I'm going. Howie and G-Man will be the Pub tour directors that week.

  • What? No one talks about the very first Monday night Game against the Jets?

    I was there, in the upper deck of the old stadium, with about 87 million of my closetst friends. Nothing better than the upper deck rocking when Homer Jones takes the second half kick-off "all the way"!

  • I'll definitely be going if the Browns play at Wembley. Mega pub crawl!!!!!! 😉

    Woof Woof!

  • It has to be the Jets OT game for me too. But for just flat out fun, Ill go with Bud Carsons debut against the Stoolers. Now THAT was a great game!

  • My first game was a November 2003 game against the Steelers that we lost so that is always memorable.

    My next game was when we beat the 49ers in December of 2007.

    Now that I am in Wyoming I went to see the Browns play the Broncos in 2012 which was the first year that the Broncos had Manning. That game was abysmal for us.

    Starting next year I am going to start taking my kids to games in Cleveland every year.

    Lots of anti freeze i take it? (Beer)

    It was freezing cold then again mebbe you had better seats lol

  • There were so many good ones back in the 80's but I would have to give props to the Jets dbl OT win. I sold my 35 yrd line season tickets just so I could sit in the Dawg Pound. We had 8 seats in the row and some in our group gave up and headed back to the Muny lot. Man did they regret that move. How many can remember the days when you could stuff a 6 pack in each leg of your carharts. We would wear our binocular cases around our necks filled with beer cans while we carried our binoculars in our hands, was that not obvious or what?
