Before owner Art Modell moved the Browns to Baltimore 30 years ago ago, the Browns played in old Cleveland Municipal Stadium (which was actually designed and built to attract the Olympics). At the open end of the Stadium -- where the baseball bleachers were located -- were the cheapest seats available for a Browns game. Usually overflowing with loud, obnoxious, and seriously drunken spectators, it evolved into a home-field advantage as the noise level made it difficult for the road team to hear their quarterback's signals. This area ultimately became the place to be. Someone began barking and throwing dog biscuits on the field; it caught on and the bleacher area became known as the Dawg Pound. When the Browns returned in 1999, the new owners tried to maintain the tradition, but the new stadium just didn't exude the same charisma (in other words, it was too nice).
Anyway, Emerson produced this nice 3'x5' flag which epitomized the spirit of the old Dawg Pound. It's a very nice silk polyester flag, with their "Poly-Tuf" header and o-rings. It's surprisingly durable, as we see some of the old versions still flying in the area during football season from time to time. A wonderful gift for anyone who attended games in the Dawg Pound (if there are even any survivors) ...
