Here We Go Brownies Traditional Cache

 

The home of the Cleveland Browns, previously known as Cleveland Browns Stadium, is a multi-purpose stadium in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. It is the home field of the Cleveland Browns of the NFL, and serves as a venue for other events such as college and high school football games, soccer matches, and concerts. It opened in 1999 with a seating capacity of 73,200 (10th largest in the NFL) and is located at North Coast Harbor, near the Great Lakes Science Center and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, between Lake Erie and the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway, on the exact same footprint as Cleveland Municipal Stadium from 1932–1996.

 

The Browns claimed six of their world championships on this very land, making Cleveland hold the all-time record for most pro football championships won at home. But this plot has seen more than just championships -- has also been home to countless legends of the game:

Otto Graham - regarded by critics as one of the most dominant players of his era, having taken the Browns to league championship games every year between 1946 and 1955, winning seven of them. He still holds the NFL career record for yards per pass attempt, averaging nine.

Paul Brown - Founder, head coach, namesake of the Browns, and father of football as we know it today. He was the first coach to use game film to scout opponents, and to hire a full-time staff of assistants. He invented the modern face mask, the practice (taxi) squad and the draw play, as well as placing a radio transmitter in players' helmets. He led the Browns to a 167-53-8 record as head coach.

Jim Brown - He departed as the NFL record holder for both single-season (1,863 in 1963) and career rushing (12,312 yards), as well as the all-time leader in rushing touchdowns (106), total touchdowns (126), and all-purpose yards (15,549). He was the first player ever to reach the 100-rushing-touchdowns milestone, and only a few others have done so since. Brown is the only rusher in NFL history to average over 100 yards per game for a career. Every season he played, Brown was voted into the Pro Bowl. Brown's 6 games with at least 4 touchdowns remains an NFL record. Brown led the league in rushing a record eight times. Brown's 1,863 rushing yards in the 1963 season remains a Cleveland franchise record. It is currently the oldest franchise record for rushing yards out of all 32 NFL teams.

Lou Groza - Groza was professional football's career kicking and points leader when he retired after the 1968 season. He played in 21 seasons for the Browns, helping the team to win all eight of its league championships. he held NFL career records for points scored, field goals made and extra points made. He had 234 field goals, 641 extra points and 1,349 total points in the NFL. Counting his AAFC years, his career point total was 1,603, making him still the Browns top scorer of all-time.

Ozzie Newsome - Newsome went to the Pro Bowl in 1981, 1984 and 1985. In 1984, Newsome set a franchise record for receiving yards in a game (191) that still stands to this day. Newsome did not miss a game in his 13-year NFL career, playing in 198 consecutive games as a Brown with 191 starts. He finished his career with 662 receptions and 7,980 yards, both Cleveland franchise records, and 47 touchdowns, fourth all-time.

Brian Sipe - Known to be one of the most gutsy quarterbacks of all-time, Sipe singlehandedly still owns half of the Browns franchise passing records.

And many, many more.

 

Since this is a microcache, you'll need to BYOP, and also keep an eye out for muggles - going for this on a game day could be risky. This should be a fairly quick grab, and includes places to pull to the side of the road.

 

Thank you for checking out my cache, doubly so if you go search for it, and GO BROWNS!!!
