The Browns are hosting the world's most famous "footballer."
Lionel Messi, who was named MVP of MLS in his first season with Inter Miami CF, is expected to play in Cleveland on April 19 against the Columbus Crew in the Browns' 67,000-seat stadium, Huntington Bank Field.
The Miami-Columbus matchup will be the first MLS regular-season game played in Cleveland, which previously has hosted games featuring the United States men's and women's teams.
Browns owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam also own the Crew and view the chance to hold the game in Cleveland as an opportunity to broaden their fan base.
