Up until their move to Baltimore in 1996. the Cleveland Browns only had three ownership groups. The final one placed a dagger into the hearts of every fan of the orange and brown.
Art Modell was the principal owner of that group. He had been promised a new stadium having played each season in the decaying Cleveland Municipal Stadium; which was constructed in 1931 and built for baseball. A full football gridiron just barely squeezed in. If a patron had season tickets for Cleveland Indians games behind home plate, those same great seats were very far from the action for Browns games.
