Selling Out Games

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Every city with the exception of Boston is a football city, only basketball city is New York with the Knicks. Football pretty much dominates every city they have a team in.
 
I found this pretty amazing. Season tickets for the Packers have sold out every year since 1960. There is a waiting list with 71,000 names on it to get season tickets.

Thats a football town.
 
Basketball is better than football, and even baseball IMO. Baseball is slow like football.. (not soccer, which is more fun to play than watch professionally) too many starts and stops.....

With BBall you can actually SEE the players that play. (without helmets)

I think a part of it is RACE. Most BBall talents are black, cuz they're more athletic (still searching for the next Bird, even Bird thought it was an insult when they put a white player on him)

Too bad Luke didnt pan out for the Cavs. But hey the Pacers traded for Dunleavy and Murphy...Maybe thats the ticket...?

Get the drift?

Thats enough anger for today..

But do they sell out every game?
 
Here's your answer: They have sold out 247 consecutive regular season games.

If you count pre and postseason and the home games in Milwaukee they have sold out well over 300 games.

Im a Cavs fan, yet I dont understand why C-Town is not a basketball city...(apparently)

We have Bronny...if you guys need more, I dunno what to tell you. Basketball kicks Football's ass IMO.

It is just the history of the Browns,the city is slowly turning to just as big of a basketball city,but its def. still a football city.
 
It frustrates the hell out of me that we are still known as a football city... I mean I love the Browns, have season tix, tailgate all the time, etc. but the Browns have done nothing to reward us as fans, outside of not raising ticket prices. Like RHF I'd prefer us to be known for our franchises that actually field competitive teams that make the postseason.

Not to sound like a total ass, but what history do the browns have after Jim Brown?
 
In the 80's if it wasn't for Elway we were at one point one of the best teams in the NFL.Not just a history like that,but all those years the Indians sucked and it took for the Cavs took get good at all the fans were all about the Browns.It has just stuck with the city.

Our claim to fame is three failed trips to the AFC Championship game, all losses at the hands of the Broncos. Other than that we don't have much of a great post-60's history. But as I said earlier, the team gets a free pass here because of what Modell did, yanking the team to Baltimore. Eventually the free pass will expire unless some success comes. They are on the right track with the talent they've acquired but it's still a huge work in progress.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Browns... I just get frustrated with the blind loyalty the team gets. Dolan is labeled as cheap while assembling a very good team in the Tribe and not overpaying along the way... the Cavaliers have had great success the last two years but are still third fiddle in this city... and the lowly Browns botch drafts, overpay for guys, lose every year but sell out every game. It must be beautiful to own an NFL team :)
