Cleveland Browns Stadium is a football stadium located at North Coast Harbor in Cleveland, Ohio, near the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It is the home of the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League. The stadium sits on 31 acres (13 ha) of land on the shores of Lake Erie and has a capacity of over 73,200.

The normal use of the stadium is only for football; however, the stadium was built with a playing surface large enough to allow it to host international soccer matches. Cleveland Browns Stadium sits on the former site of Cleveland Municipal Stadium, which housed the Browns before owner Art Modell deactivated the franchise and begin a new one in Baltimore that became the Ravens. As part of the deal that reactivated Browns, the city of Cleveland tore down Cleveland 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.
