Melissa golby 11,2992 happy birthday Melissa 30th April 💅

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

In 1970 in August I was at the Stadium w my future wife now fifty years we saw Sam win his 19th. Twenty was in the bag and w more starts sure more to come. Well he won his twentieth and that was it. I always wanted him to do more with his talent. 1970 was his only twenty win season. Being an Indian fan was always tough but I enjoyed watching those players and still remember them fondly.

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.

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

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.

bring back "Woohoo" and the INDIANS name

beautiful stadium.far more attractive than yankee stadium. that huge upper deck.art deco exterior. SCREW jacobs field (ugh)

If the best players of the 1970's had been on the same team for one year the World Series would have been the Indians.

Baseball done right to me = Cleveland Municipal Stadium and the Indians in the 1970's I witnessed in person.

I loved old Municipal Stadium. She may have been The Old Gray Lady on the Lake, but I loved her.

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

Dave sorenson was from findlay ohio and played at ohio state

The stadium was a dump, the team was terrible.......not a good era of Indians baseball

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.

Loved that team. I was a kid. Didn't even realize until years later that they were that bad. They were my heroes. Liked them so much, that I hated when they changed the uni colors to orange and blue, was glad when they went back to wine and gold. Hate that current team chooses to wear black so often.

Btw, the entire time I grew up in the Cleveland area, nobody used the name "Municipal". It was just the "Stadium" to us.

Those pinstripe uniforms were the bomb.

the ARROGANT yankee 'annoucers', susan sell out waldman, and jon sterling,CONSTANTLY ridiculed this classy stadium.... the bitch,waldman,or whatever, is a woman....what the f... does she even know about baseball? let alone insult, denigrate, ridicule cleveland stadium?, this DIVERSITY hire knows NOTHING about the sacrifice of men, yes, men....who slaved and labored over building something as awesome as a stadium, nor does this arrogant entitled DIVERSITY hire have an iota of appreciation of the sweat, guts, blood and courage it took to build something as AWESOME as cleveland STADIUM....

Red Right 88 and "the Drive" will live in eternity with this stadium!

15 wins that season

The “Guardians?” What a revisionist crock.

Long Live Chief Wahoo

Listened to the Cavz first season on my old portable radio with tubes exposed. I was 9 years old

If my memory serves me well somebody got cut (perhaps Suitor) but kept showing up to practices

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.

I'm from New Jersey and I loved those early to mid n late 70's Cavs teams,the mid to late 70's Tribe teams also, just a sports fan, do u have or know anyone who has any vhs or DVD's of any game telecasts of those or even from the 80's, I'm a collector. Thanks

CLASSIC.CLASSIC.CLASSIC.

watched a lot Braves/Cavs games on ch. 4 WBEN Buffalo from Cleveland arena. One thing i remember was the Different shades on the hardwood. The Buffalo announcers....Either Van Miller or sometimes Chuck Healy would comment it was difficult to see baselines (in or out of bounds) because of the light & dark shades of the floor. it was tough for the referees, fans & the tv viewer.

This is GREAT !!

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.

Buffalo Braves got 3 Knicks from 69-70 title team Donny May, Bill Hosket, & Nate Bowman. Cavs got 1, John Warren. May set an NBA record that still stands ( biggest jump in scoring ave. 1 season to the next ....2.6 ppg. w/ Knicks to 20.2 w/ Braves. Remember watching the Braves vs. Cavaliers preseason gm. on WBEN TV channel 4 Buffalo live from Erie Community Collage (North Campus.) It was an exciting time for Buffalo, & I`m sure for Cleveland & Portland.

How would you like a seat behind one of those girders?

BTW, do not succumb to those idiots and change your name!

the first factory of sadness

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 !

Hoe much the game has been.ruined today😕

Had the Indians known what they were giving up in Graig Nettles they had to be kicking themselves Royally for a long time.

Vada Pinson was a tiger iam from Detroit thats how I know much love from Detroit to cleveland.

Remember it well. I was in 7th grade. Remember the first win. A long first couple years before things turned around.

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!

Opening day, 1971. Tigers, Indians, 70,000 in attendance.

The size of the stadium was incredible! Browns games insane.

What a huge and great old stadium it was! I saw the 1995 AFC Championship game between the Browns and Patriots there. WOW it was COLD! But a fun game and we went down to the Flats afterwards for some local brews! For Cleveland baseball in this era, I liked Ray Fosse, Vada Pinson, Dick Tidrow, "Sudden Sam" McDowell and Luis Tiant!

The mistake by the lake.

Loved Fred Stanley!!!! He played a few years for the Yankees (my team, I came by it honestly, by being born in N.Y.C. ..... AND by the Yankees being pretty lousy when I was a kid!!! But I loved 'em, and that made the later success all the sweeter.

Municipal Soo reminds me of old Milw County Stadium. Prolly explains why the movie Major League was filmed there.

I met Bob Feller in 1988 at a minor league game. I got an autographed picture from him which I will cherish forever. I was glad he was able to be on a World Series championship team. A class guy. May he RIP.

They haven't won since, too bad they didn't have the bullpen; they could have won it all in 1997...

This conjures up the smells of the Stadium for me. I will say that these were the worst Indians uniforms of my life. Maybe because as a kid in '69 I bought both a red Indians cap and red faux batting helmet. Then they changed!
