5. Who was the owner of the Browns that signed the deal to move the team to Baltimore in 1995?

Answer: Art Modell

Moving the Browns to Baltimore from Cleveland made for ill-feelings in both cities, but especially in Cleveland. Lawsuits were filed and eventually the city of Cleveland was allowed to retain the team's name, colors, and history after a brief period of deactivation in the league.

6. What year did Cleveland return to the NFL after the move to Baltimore?

Answer: 1999

8. What were Cleveland's team colors in 2007?

Answer: Orange and brown

9. What was the name given to the fan's seating area located in the east end of the Browns stadium?

Answer: Dawg Pound

He was nicknamed Lou "The Toe" Groza. He played his entire career for the Browns, playing both positions but took one season off. When he rejoined the team he played solely as a kicker.
