It is the home field of the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League, and serves as a venue for other events such as college and high school football games, soccer games, and concerts. It opened in 1999 and is located in Downtown Cleveland at North Coast Harbor, adjacent to the Great Lakes Science Center and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. The stadium sits on of land between Lake Erie and the Cleveland Memorial Shoreway, previously the site of Cleveland Municipal Stadium from 1932–1996. From the stadium's opening until 2014, the seating capacity was listed at 73,200. The first phase of a two-phase renovation project completed between the 2013 and 2014 seasons reduced the seating capacity to 67,407. ==History== FirstEnergy Stadium sits on the former site of Cleveland Municipal Stadium, which was the team's home for 49 years. The stadium was built after Browns owner Art Modell relocated to Baltimore and formed the Baltimore Ravens from the personnel of the Browns. As part of the deal with the National Football League to reactivate the Browns, the city of Cleveland tore down Cleveland Municipal Stadium after the 1996 season to make room for the new facility. Debris from the former stadium was submerged in Lake Erie and now serves as an artificial reef. Ground was broken on May 15, 1997, the stadium opened in July 1999. The first regular-season Browns game at the stadium was played on September 12, 1999, a 43–0 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since 2011, the stadium has been colloquially referred to as the "Factory of Sadness", a name that was first coined by comedian and Browns fan Mike Polk in a video he made in which he complains about the team's futility. As of the 2014-15 season, if Super Bowls are included, FirstEnergy Stadium is one of the only two current NFL venues that has yet to host a playoff game, along with Levi's Stadium. The Detroit Lions have never hosted a playoff game at Ford Field, but the stadium served as the host of Super Bowl XL. In addition, the New York Jets have never hosted a playoff game at MetLife Stadium, while its other tenants, the New York Giants, have once since it opened in 2010; this stadium also served as the host of Super Bowl XLVIII. However, Levi's Stadium is planned to host Super Bowl 50. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FirstEnergy Stadium (Cleveland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
