Fans

The Resume

    (1999- )
    Root for their AFC team
    Often dress or paint themselves in the team colors of Brown, Orange and White
    They love their mascots Trapper, TD and C.B. Chomps

Why they might be annoying:

    Most passionate fans belong to the Dawg Pound. They dress up with dog masks and sit in the lower level seats, throwing dog biscuits at the opposition.
    In a 2002 home game, the fans cheered an injury (concussion) to starting QB Tim Couch. Couch later cried in the post game interview due to the crowd's reaction.
    In 2001, the fans were angry at an official's call with under a minute remaining in the game. They threw beer bottles and other objects onto the field. This incident is the reason why all beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) at a football game are now only given in a cup.
    In the last game at Municipal Stadium in 1995 (the last home game before they moved to Baltimore), fans flung seats from the upper deck.
    Many Brown fans hold a grudge against Art Modell, who moved the original Brown team to Baltimore. They refuse to shop at Modells' Sporting Goods even though he doesn't own Modells.
    Their barking chant was over used by Arsenio Hall.

Why they might not be annoying:

    True fans claim to bleed brown and orange.
    They remained loyal to their Browns when the franchise moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens. They cut all ties to the franchise and were successful in getting Cleveland an expansion franchise of the team.
    Even though the original Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore, the fans demanded the new team to also be called the Cleveland Browns and use the same colors and logo.
