Browns fans don’t disappear when they leave Cleveland – they multiply and spread across Ohio and beyond! From Columbus to Cincinnati, from small Ohio towns to major cities across the US, Browns Backers have established outposts where the Dawg Pound spirit lives strong. These places prove you can take the fan out of Cleveland, but you can’t take Cleveland out of the fan.

I’ve traveled throughout Ohio and the passion between Browns fans (esp vs Bengals fans and those of neighboring States) often exceeds what you’ll find in Cleveland itself. Whether it’s displaced fans who moved for work, college students carrying on family traditions or locals who just like the Browns’ blue collar spirit, these places create authentic Dawg Pound experiences hundreds of miles from FirstEnergy Stadium.

From official Browns Backers chapters to friendly neighborhood bars that welcome Browns fans, these locations show Browns Country extends far beyond the shores of Lake Erie. The camaraderie among Browns fans away from home creates something special – a shared bond forged by mutual understanding of the unique joy and suffering that comes with being a Browns fan.
