| For anyone who has ever gone to the old Lady by the Lake and
cheered in the Dawg Pound, rooted for the Tribe, and rocked with great
musicians, he or she knows how important Municipal Stadium was to Clevelanders.
The book takes the reader from the late 1920s, when the Stadium was put to the
voters, to 1996, when the wrecking ball crashed into the sides of the venerable
stadium. The book includes separate chapters on the history of the Browns,
Indians, and the special events that took place in the storied history of the
stadium. Although the new arena is now open, the old stadium will live on in
people's memories.
The 135-page book takes Cleveland sports fans back to the era when Cleveland
Municipal Stadium was the main sports venue in Cleveland. The book traces the
history of the Indians and Browns at the stadium, and recalls the many other
events that were held there, including religious events, rock concerts, and
carnivals. The book also includes chapters on construction and demolition, and
has a 16-page center color photograph spread.
