Anything I need to know about tailgating in the Muni Lot for the season?
The cost to park in the lot, which normally opens at about 5 a.m., went up to $40 per space two years ago. The city also released the following rules regarding the lot:
- No open pit fires
- Propane grills only
- No alcohol
- No saving spaces
- You will be charged for each parking space you occupy
- No in-and-out privileges
- All litter must be disposed of in trash containers
- Vandalism will not be tolerated
- No crossing the Shoreway
- No private latrines
- Lanes must remain clear of activity
The city provides portable restrooms, trash cans and dumpsters in the Muni Lot to help folks clean up after themselves. Note the lines for the toilets do get long quickly, so prepare accordingly.
Every year, the city also reminds fans that in general “open containers, consumption of alcohol, and public intoxication are all prohibited inside the municipal lot.”

Road closures and parking restrictions expected before games
- Officials said the best plan of attack is to arrive early

Can I get tickets?
Click here for tickets, but expect all tickets to be expensive at this point so early in the season. All tickets are mobile. You can download the Browns app right here.
What can I bring to Huntington Bank Field?
Things like weapons and umbrellas are out, but some other things to know include:
- No beverages are allowed, but people can bring in their own food (sealed or in a gallon plastic bag)
- The venue is cashless
- The bag policy is more challenging than some other Cleveland venues, so check the approved bags list. Find a list of prohibited items right here.
How did the Browns do last season again?
Following a playoff appearance the season prior, the Cleveland Browns finished their 2024-2025 season at 3-14. Controversial quarterback Deshaun Watson ruptured his Achilles tendon during Week 7 of the season. They have not earned a division title in 32 seasons.
