"There’s nothing like playing under the lights,” Hardaway said.
It’s a spectacle that Hardaway never thought he’d see, a night game at Cleveland’s Dwayne Browder Field.
“There were times when we thought that this might not come to fruition,” Hardaway said. "But it has, and we’re ecstatic."
Browns owner Dee Haslam, president Alec Scheiner and defensive back Joe Haden were on hand for the field’s re-dedication in September after a $930,000 renovation. The lights, provided by FirstEnergy and installed by The Illuminating Company, were the final touch of that project.
Because Dwayne Browder Field sits on the site of the old East Technical High School, it took an extra bit of engineering from FirstEnergy to make sure that everything went off without a hitch.
