Eating and Drinking at the Browns’ Home Opener: What’s New at Huntington Bank Field

Fresh eats, exclusive lounges, and brunch at the Browns’ home opener: Here’s what Cleveland fans can savor at Huntington Bank Field this NFL season.

Cleveland Browns football isn’t just about hard hits and the Dawg Pound’s signature bark—this year, Huntington Bank Field ups its food and drink game for hungry fans. Whether your tailgate skills are on point or you’re simply showing up for the party, here’s what’s new in stadium eats, drinks, and experiences for the 2026 season opener.

Brunchin’ With The Browns: Stadium Style

Forget cold wings at your cousin’s garage—Brunchin’ with the Browns brings stadium dining up a notch. With tickets to this pregame affair, you’ll score:

A legit brunch spread (think local twists on classic favorites)
A couple of drink tickets (mimosas, anyone?)
Premium views of the pregame action Bring your appetite and your Browns jersey—this is the stuff Sunday Funday legends are made of.

New Lounges for the City’s Finest Fans

Shake off your stadium seat FOMO. Two new lounges have swung open their doors, serving drinks with a dose of luxury:

The FanDuel Lounge (Event Level): Place a bet, grab a premium cocktail, flex in front of your buddies.
Stratus Lounge (Canada Dry City Club): For those who like their football with a splash of exclusivity, this spot mixes swanky vibes and curated drinks. Don’t worry, there’s still plenty of Miller Lite for the faithful in the 300s.

What's Cooking Beyond the Stands

While the mainstream munchies (hot dogs, nachos, and saucy wings) are always in play, this year’s extras tease the possibility of creative new concessions—watch for:

Local vendors hawking Cleveland eats
Rotating specialty menus during big games
Sweet and savory treats for all-day grazing We’re still pushing for pierogies in a Dawg Pound helmet, but stay tuned—anything can happen in Cleveland.

Not Just Football: Pregame and Halftime Experiences

If you need more than a field goal to get hyped, this year packs a punch with bonus entertainment:

First to Eleven, an energetic rock and pop cover band, brings live music to the Dawg Pound stage before and during the game
NASA’s Dawg Pound Drive delivers out-of-this-world exhibits (hello, moon rock!) and meet-and-greets with astronaut Doug Wheelock
A halftime show starring The Ohio State University Marching Band
Third-quarter performance by hip-hop royalty Treach from Naughty by Nature That’s more action than a fourth-down goal line stand.

How to Experience It All

Head to Huntington Bank Field early—doors open ahead of kickoff so you can take your pick of brunch, lounges, pregame music, and NASA activities. Most experiences require a special ticket or wristband (especially for the lounges and brunch), so check the Browns site or your Ticketmaster app for add-on options.

Getting there still means scouting out tailgate lots, catching RTA, or jumping on a scooter—because it’s still Cleveland, and we like to do things our way.

Come for the Browns, stay for the food and drink upgrades, and leave with bragging rights (and maybe a little moon dust on your jersey). Football season in CLE is never just about the final score—soak it all in, literally and figuratively.
