The Browns say they will be able to host nearly 2,000 fans at each respective practice in Berea, utilizing modified logistics that emphasize the health and safety of all fans, players, coaches and staff onsite.
Starting on Monday, July 19, Browns fans can register for a chance to secure up to four tickets per account to their desired training camp session through the Browns Mobile App or ClevelandBrowns.com. After pooling all requests, tickets to one practice per registrant will be distributed through a lottery system as they remain available. While registration is available to all fans, Browns season ticket members and individuals on the team’s waitlist will receive prioritized access to a percentage of tickets for each session.
All tickets to training camp will be accessible through the Browns Mobile App. Similar to 2019, printed tickets will not be available in 2021.
When arriving to open practices, fans will enter the viewing area through the northeast corner of the Browns facility, rather than the Beech Street entrance used in past years. Membership-services team members will also be available to all visitors inside and outside the complex to assist fans.
More information on parking will be shared with fans when receiving tickets to training camp sessions.
The Browns say fans are not required to be vaccinated to apply for 2021 training camp tickets. In accordance with local and state guidelines, masks are not mandated for fans who attend training camp. However, medical experts recommend that individuals who are not fully vaccinated still consider wearing a mask when congregating in larger groups.
“We greatly look forward to welcoming our fans back to Browns training camp in Berea this year as our entire team definitely missed their contributions to the atmosphere in 2020,” said Haslam Sports Group President and Browns Partner JW Johnson in a statement. “While the setup will be different than past years due to the league’s health and safety protocols, we are fully dedicated to providing our fans with an engaging experience during training camp and the entire year, both in person and through our digital programming."
