What is the capacity of Cleveland Browns Stadium?

Cleveland Browns Stadium (officially Huntington Bank Field as of 2024) sits on the shores of Lake Erie, occupying the same site as the legendary Municipal Stadium. Home to the "Dawg Pound," it is a rugged, open-air venue that embraces Cleveland's blue-collar spirit and unpredictable lakefront weather.

🎟️Visitor Guide

Best Seats

The lower bowl sections 101-115 put you in the heart of the "home side" action. Sections 144-101 (East End Zone) comprise the famous "Dawg Pound" bleachers.

Parking Tips

The "Muni Lot" is the holy grail of NFL tailgating—arrive before dawn if you want in. Otherwise, use downtown garages and enjoy the 10-15 minute walk to the lakefront.

Game Day

Expect a lot of barking! The Dawg Pound is the loudest section in the league. Visit the "Free Stamp" sculpture nearby, a popular pre-game meeting point for fans.
