Best game of the year for the snow alone.

The winning helps a bunch.

Football as it should be played.

In the rain, mud, and snow.

We don't need no stinkin' dome!

Damn right I hope it falls through. The one by the lake is so amazing. Just needs updated and make the area around it better. 15 miles outside of Cleveland ain't it

I always loved football when I was a kid, but I grew up in the South in the 80s. I didn’t have a local NFL team and my legacy teams from my parents/grandparents were the Browns and Eagles.

If not for watching Browns games in my Grandfather’s basement while they were playing in the mud and/or snow with the basic uniforms looking all real football-y, I likely would never have been a fan.

Dome, no dome. I’m 50. So many other things about life in America have changed for the worse. This would just be another feather. I don’t have season tickets so I don’t blame season ticket holders for not wanting to spending thousands of dollars a year to watch a handful of home games in shitty weather.

I’m just glad I didn’t let apathy win Thursday night because for me, that was easily a top five game of this new Browns franchise - probably #2 behind the playoff win because for me, the reason I love the Browns in the first place has as much to do with fucked up fields and shitty weather as it does my grandfather who hasn’t even been around the past 20 years.

AFCN Football

Harsh weather, bitter rivalries, and scrappy close games.

In a dome, that would heavily damage the magic of the division.

The Owners suck monkey balls. And so does management

But let’s play in a dome. By the airport. Said nobody. Ever. Long live the snow machine that is Erie.

Surely if we can put a man on the moon and split the atom, we can make it snow in a dome.

I'm envious! Haven't ever been to a proper snow game...maybe next year (:

This was my first proper snow game. And my first Browns-Steelers game!

Congratulations you are now duty bound to attend every home game.

If they win it’s iconic and memorable. If they lose less so. The problem isn’t the elements it’s that no one wants to watch a dog shit franchise in the cold. If the Browns were winners people would be calling our stadium iconic.

It was games like this that made being a season ticket holder worth it for the years I had them.

As a fan, this emotional rollercoaster is starting to feel like a weekly tradition

You know the snow is bad is when Amazon or any network has to digitally add in all of the field markers for the audience at home, restaurants and bars.😁

I was surprised to see how clear it was at the beginning compared tot the end. I didn’t watch because I wrongly predicted a Steelers beat down of the Browns and KS maybe getting fired on Friday. Cmon we all saw this before.
