Tigers 4, Indians 2: Golden opportunity slips through Tribe’s fingers
July 9, 2013Andrew Bynum, a risk worth taking
July 9, 2013The Cleveland Browns are expected to make several changes to the fan experience for 2013 and beyond, and ESPN Cleveland’s Will Burge says that these changes will be immediate and noticable.
In a recent report for ESPN Cleveland, Burge cites several items which will be improved, added or eliminated in the coming season, all being the work of the recently hired Kevin Griffin, Vice President of Fan Experience and Marketing. One of the biggest changes comes in the form of an incredibly overdue improvement to player introductions and musical accompaniment. Gone will be The Rolling Stones and The Who1, in will be visual elements including flames, pyrotechnics, and smoke.
While the team will not add cheerleaders to the mix, Burge reports that the Browns will add a wiener dog races. Not the hot dog races frequently seen at Progressive Field, but actual dachshunds who will engage in a 50-yard dash.
“Griffin worked with the Seattle Seahawks and Sounders and these were a hit with the crowds in the great Northwest,” writes Burge. “The source said that Griffin is, “all about this one”.”
For those concerned about any alterations halftime festivities, The Ohio State Marching Band is set to perform at a halftime again this season. No updates, however, were made on what the team plans to do to ease concession lines or improve cell service within the confines of FirstEnergy Stadium.

If Vick had known he may have signed here!
Somewhere in Pittsburgh, Dan Rooney is snickering. “Suckers…”
Oh no, please don’t let Josh Gordon around the smoke!
Am I the only worried the wiener dogs might catch the touchdown squirrel?
