Suit Opened to Browns’ Ticket-Holders
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Kenneth Callahan has ruled that thousands of former Cleveland Browns fans can join a class-action suit trying to recover money they spent on season tickets.
The lawsuit, filed Nov. 6, 1995, the day team owner Art Modell announced he was moving it to Baltimore, can include about 15,000 of the Browns’ 1995 season-ticket holders.
“The deception committed by the Browns entitles all season-ticket holders to damages,” said Joshua R. Cohen, an attorney representing the ticket-holders.
As far back as 1994, after discussions with Cleveland Mayor Michael White, Modell pledged publicly never to move the franchise out of Cleveland as long as he owned the team.
