On Sunday, the Cleveland Browns will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional round at Arrowhead Stadium.
And while the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic will prevent the Browns from holding a traditional rally or watch party for the away game, that won’t stop them from doing their best to bring Cleveland fans together for the city’s first divisional game in 26 years.
On Saturday, the Browns will host a drive thru playoff rally at FirstEnergy Stadium. From 11 a.m.-4 p.m., “fans can drive their vehicles down Alfred Lerner Way outside of FirstEnergy Stadium, show off their best team spirit and collect a free commemorative limited-edition playoff poster at the end of the route – while supplies last,” according to the team’s website.
Additionally, the Browns’ mascots, Chomps and Brownie, as well as DJ Kyro and Browns alumni will be at the stadium to greet fans as they drive through. ESPN WKNR 850 will also be broadcasting live from the event.
Directions to accessing the rally are as follows: “Enter via the East 9th Street bridge and Erieside Avenue, past the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Vehicles will not have access from East 3rd Street.”
The Browns Pro Shop at FirstEnergy Stadium will also be open, selling commemorative postseason gear. Fans looking to shop at the pro shop are asked to park in the metered spots across from the Great Lakes Science Center. Additionally, pay lots are available at the Port of Cleveland (west side of the stadium), North Coast Harbor (north of the stadium) and the Great Lakes Science Center.
