Buy Saints Tickets— Cleveland Browns (@Browns) December 23, 2022
Hey, that’s generous of them: the Cleveland Browns announced that fans attending Week 16’s game with the New Orleans Saints may bring some of their own accommodations in light of the severe winter weather impacting the area. With temperatures plunging near zero overnight and kickoff scheduled for 1 p.m. ET/noon CT on Saturday, the Browns are allowing fans to bring their own blankets, thermos, and portable chargers for heated apparel.
Of course there are some stipulations. Thermoses are limited to a volume of 20 ounces, size restrictions are in effect for batteries (non dry cells only, please), and battery packs must be disconnected during security checks at the gates. You can get more into the specifics from the team’s release here.
And props to you if you’re braving the winter storm and making the trip. There have been nationwide travel complications in recent days and many members of the Saints media corps have been unable to travel to Cleveland themselves due to flight cancellations. With strong wind gusts and several inches of snow in the forecast, this is shaping up for quite a unique spectacle for any Saints fans visiting Ohio. Travel safely, and be mindful of any local weather advisories.
