- Gone but not forgotten. A collection of photographs I took in the final year of the Cleveland Indians at old Municipal Stadium. The old place never looked better. Also check out my other CLEVELAND MUNICIPAL STADIUM videos.
The size of the stadium was incredible! Browns games insane.
the 'dawg pound' and that little doghouse, were cool
I will always love this stadium. People say it was ugly, but it was just such an amazing place to see a football game.
It was one of the worst stadiums to ever watch football. Even the best seat was 50 yards to the action
Not really the stands were about 100 yards away from the 50-yard line geez!!!!!
By the early 1990s, general admission was from the foul pole to the bleachers on both sides , upper and lower deck for $4. It was cheaper than a movie and you could buy beer and smoke inside. Went there alot
Lots of memories from the grand Ole lady! Lol.
Too many to write about here but saw my share of Indians games and browns games in the original Dawg Pound in 1986 before leaving for my military service.
One memory are those nasty bathrooms with the long pee trough. Saw a opposing team's fan passed out in one and browns fans urinating on him.
I will say I was not one of those people but as a junior in high school it was eye opening to say the least of what too much alcohol can cause to people or there behavior.
Saw many other things over the years as well and glad I survived! Lol.
This stadium brings back lots of memories when I lived in Cleveland.
Best ballpark in baseball. The house that Ricky Vaughn built
It really does.
She was the grand lady by the lake. Indians could get 40,000 people and it was still half empty. The Browns would get 86,000 and it would rock! It was loud and the Dawg Pound was authentic and real, not the manufactured thing you get today. There was nothing like watching a football game in the mud.
Damn, the Indians in 93 looked like they drew better than the Indians today
As a lifetime Browns fan since I was 10 years old, I'll never forget attending my first game at the stadium in person, against the Eagles in 1982. As I was walking down West 3rd toward this huge concrete & steel structure, I got goosebumps, I felt like Dorothy & crew when they came across the land of Oz. The atmosphere at the new Browns stadium comes nowhere close to the atmosphere at Browns games at Muni !
I readily agree as a lifetime browns fan spend many Happy times there saw the 64 championship game and the 68 championship game with my dad the first one Cleveland 27 Baltimore nothing the second one just the opposite Baltimore 34 Cleveland nothing brings back many happy memories with my dad not only as the stadium is gone so is Dad but there are they happy memories of both!!
goosebumps = steel and concrete. got it.
Live near Buffalo, a 3hr.10 min. drive to CMStadium. could catch a Sat. or Sun. day gm. leave @9:30 be home by 7:45. Big place, lots of great seats, some not so great, but a great mood & feel to the place. and of course love the mustard!
As beautiful as Progressive Field (It will always be The Jake) is, my introduction to Indians baseball (and the REAL Cleveland Browns ) was here. I remember crying driving by and seeing it being demolished.
I wish I could've experienced an Indians and a Browns game at that stadium. I was born in 1999 so I never even got to be alive when it was standing. I always heard horror stories about how awful the conditions were in that stadium but I wouldn't care tbh. Welp I can't go back in time. I'll cherish The Jake and Browns stadium while they're there.
I was born in 82. Went to my first game when I was 7. The size of it, all the steel, the smell, the mens bathroom with a trough to pee in lol... memories.
@@buffcosby1038 my 1st game was the 86 jets playoff game , I was 12 . Remember guys were pissing in the sinks and security was catching them 1 after another throwing Them out . The things I saw at that game . Fights , bashing of the seats with big dog bones . Been browns fan ever since
What's tbh. I'm old
@@Legenddjt because of THAT?
the first factory of sadness
Opening day, 1971. Tigers, Indians, 70,000 in attendance.
I remember a headline from opening day, maybe 1975, Frank Robinson was player/manager. 74,000 in attendance.
Does anyone remember the game where the dog pound threw batteries and they had to change endzones' i belive it was late 80s against Denver, not talking abt the game when Butch Davis was coaching
I was 10 yrs old the first time i was here....I'll never forgot how green and how big it was....The Indians played the Red Sox that day.....1968.
2.3 million fans walked thru the turnstiles at municipal stadium for the 81 home game season for the Tribe in 93! That in itself was incredible. 28,400 per game avg.
Most other seasons in the 70's thru 1992 averaged roughly 825,000 - 1.4 mill
Red Right 88 and "the Drive" will live in eternity with this stadium!
and we lost both of course. I was at Red Right 88
Cleveland Municipal Stadium was great, but its time had come. I don’t even blame Modell for moving, but he didn’t handle things correctly at all. He should’ve asked for a new stadium and never taken off the hands of the city. By the way, I also blame Lerner and Mike White for what happened.
Those old parks had so much more charm. Everyone complained that the round, cookie cutter stadiums of the 60s and 70s were all too much alike, but the newer MLB ballparks are just as similar and full of fake quirks.
Have you been to Oriole Park at Camden Yards? It says "baseball" better than any of the other new parks. I was disappointed in Citizen's Bank Park in Philly and preferred the Vet. Closer to the action, just hated the artificial turf.
"charm" = "dump"
bring back "Woohoo" and the INDIANS name
Municipal Soo reminds me of old Milw County Stadium. Prolly explains why the movie Major League was filmed there.
Parts were in Milwaukee, and I lived there when the original movie came out. Most of the wide crowd shots for the night games and other sequences were in "The Grey Lady by the Lake".
I'll never forget Municipal Stadium... it really was an experience. There was no bigger home field advantage when the Tribe or Browns were playing well.
The Stadium had its own appeal. Not perfect but still a good place to enjoy a baseball game. Few complained when there were REAL crowds at The Stadium. The REAL problem was the mediocre talent you had to put up with.
what do you mean had? you still do!
Ballparks today seem more interested in how they look in pictures as opposed to feeling like a baseball park. Can you picture going to a baseball game at Globe Life Park? Camden Yards says "baseball" but few of the other new ones do. Nothing says baseball like Fenway Park, unless you've got one of their bad seats where you can't see home plate. Never been to the "Mistake By The Lake" but I've been to other old parks. I liked the old Comiskey Park, you were right on top of the action.
Taking into account that, because the teams were mostly bad my entire 26 years in Ohio, and you could buy a general admission seat but scoot down into field boxes by the 4th inning, it was a GREAT place to watch baseball. For all the derisive "mistake by the lake" talk by people from other cities, it was a much better experience than, say, the multipurpose stadiums of Cincy, Pitt, Philly, etc. One more thing. I, nor my family, friends, etc. ever once referred to it as "Municipal". It was just "The Stadium" to us locals.
beautiful stadium.far more attractive than yankee stadium. that huge upper deck.art deco exterior. SCREW jacobs field (ugh)
I loved this stadium!!! Don't know why, and don't care! It was ugly/beautiful, so what!
