Before the Cleveland Browns started Monday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, the Stadium where the game was held was three-quarters filled, indicating that a protest planned by two die-hard Browns fans might have failed.
Being disgusted with the team’s 1-7 performance, the two fans had urged other fans to stay away from their seats for the start, hoping it would send a message to team owner Randy Lerner. But because of a recent two-hour meet between the two fans and Lerner, it is still unsure whether the protest will be held as schedule.
Thousands of seats remained empty before the opening kickoff. But it also remained unsure whether there would be more empty seats because of a possible protest or less because more fans, perhaps wearing Browns jersey, may arrive late after game starts.

Want win- Browns fans planned to protest on Nov. 16
Mike Randall, a lifelong fan for the Cleveland Browns, is planning a protest on Nov. 16th night, when the Browns will play home game against the Baltimore Ravens. He wants to tell the Browns that the fans have been fed up with losses.
“We’re tired of losing,” the 39-year-old Randall said. “We’re tired of the booing, of seeing fans leave in the fourth quarter. There are fans who have had tickets for 30 years who are turning their seats in because they can’t take it anymore. So many fans are fed up.”
His plan is to encourage other Browns fans to stay away from their seats for the opening kickoff of the game in hope that Browns Owner Randy Lerner and club officials will see how much they have disappointed the fans when seeing empty seats for the start of the nationally televised Monday night game.
After last Sunday’s 31-3 loss to the Green Bay packers, the Browns is now 1-6, and actually they have been nearly losing constantly since returning to the league in 1999. Many fans left in the fourth quarters and those stayed to the end grumbled about wasting time and money, which has not only been spent on tickets but also on the Browns jerseys thy were wearing for supporting the team. If a protest can bring the team to winning, they surely would be glad to take part in. Hopefully it will work.
