2022 Cleveland Browns Training Camp, featuring 11 free open workouts for fans, opens Saturday at the CrossCountry Mortgage Campus in Berea. All sessions available to fans are designed to create a family-friendly atmosphere with exciting activations for all to enjoy as they watch the team prepare for the upcoming season.
This year’s Browns training camp setup reinforces the team’s longstanding commitment to providing Browns subscription members and fans with an immersive, engaging experience at all open training sessions. In addition to enhancing interactive on-site activations, the team has implemented unique hospitality spaces — including viewing areas specifically for subscription members — after purchasing properties adjacent to the CrossCountry Mortgage Campus in recent years.
A second grandstand has been added on the west side of the facility to accommodate more Browns fans and to provide improved sightlines for all practice sessions – particularly those on the fields opposite the main grandstand, which will return in 2022.
In addition, each day a select number of subscription members are invited to observe the training from a VIP tent and two of the team’s four new Premium Tailgates on the west side of the CrossCountry Mortgage Campus. The mobile units – four of which are available to rent on Dawg Pound Drive ahead of the Browns home games with exceptional food and beverage options – have a lower climate-controlled floor with large windows and furniture, as well as an elevated position with seating options.
Complementing the favorite commands of recent years – the Puppy Pound, presented by Sugardale; the 40-yard dash, presented by CrossCountry Mortgage; Browns Pro Shop with exclusive items for training camps; Aramark snack bars for food and drink; and more – the Browns have added several elements unique to the 2022 training camp. One of the new activities is the “Dawg Pound Dance Cam”, where fans of all ages can try to match Browns players and fans with the best dance moves and share the content on social media immediately.
Local youth and high school soccer teams are also invited to contact the Browns Community Relations department (YouthFootball@ClevelandBrowns.com, 440-891-5000) for information about exclusive tickets and engagement opportunities during the training camp, including return from the “Bring the Challenges.” Launched in 2019, the program invites youth and high school soccer programs onto the field to greet Browns players and coaches as they head out for practice.
Thanks to the Browns and their partners, the first fans to enter the gates of each training session will receive a special promotional item as quantities remain available.
