While the location of the Stadium honored the glorious history of athletic achievements in Cleveland, the Cleveland Browns Stadium is first and foremost a lakefront landmark. The Stadium is also as distinctive as its glistening neighbors at North Coast Harbor – Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Great Lakes Science Center and the glass-enclosed stations of the RTA Waterfront Line.
Building Cleveland Browns Stadium on the hallowed ground of the old Municipal Stadium honored some of the greatest athletic endeavors of the 20th century. No other site could have been as appropriate as the field where Jim Brown, Paul Brown, Otto Graham, Lou Groza, Leroy Kelly, Marion Motley, Ozzie Newsome, Paul Warfield and Bill Willis established their credentials for induction into the Professional Football Hall of Fame in nearby Canton. |
