Cleveland Municipal Stadium, often called simply Cleveland Stadium, was the first and only home of the original Cleveland Browns franchise from 1946 to 1995.  Built in 1931, it was also the home stadium of the American League's Cleveland Indians.  Before they moved to Los Angeles, the Cleveland Rams had played home games there as well.  In 1995, Browns owner Art Modell decided to move the team to Baltimore in a dispute over financing a replacement for the old stadium.

The Browns returned to Cleveland as an NFL expansion franchise in 1999 without Art Modell and with a new stadium on the same site as the old one— Cleveland Browns Stadium.  Rather than sell the naming rights for the stadium, the city sold naming rights for its four entrance gates.  Like the old stadium, the playing surface is natural grass.

Note:  The Browns were part of the All-America Football Conference from 1946-1949 and won the championship all four years. When the AAFC folded after the 1949 season, the Cleveland Browns, the San Francisco 49ers, and the short-lived first Baltimore Colts franchise joined the NFL.

The NFL does not count AAFC games in its official records, but they are an important part of Browns history and deserve to be remembered here. At some point, I plan to add a page that shows the Browns' record in NFL games only.

The Browns went 0-3 in the Playoff Bowl, a postseason exhibition held in the 1960s at the Orange Bowl in Miami to decide the NFL's third-place team.  The Browns lost 17-16 to the Lions in 1961, 40-23 to the Packers in 1964, and 30-6 to the Rams in 1967.  The NFL does not count these as official games.
