WATCH: Cleveland Browns fans line up 48 hours before first game

CLEVELAND (WJW) — To be a Cleveland Browns fan means unwavering loyalty for so many in Northeast Ohio. And as of 6 p.m. Saturday, the line to get into the Muni Lot for the first game of the regular season was already packed with orange and brown buses along with plenty of other vehicles.

Remember, kickoff for the game against the Dallas Cowboys is 4:25 p.m., but fans can start setting up in the west side of the storied downtown Cleveland tailgate lot by 6 a.m. Sunday. East Muni Lot opens at 8:30 a.m.

According to FOX 8’s Rex Smith, the first bus in line arrived at 4:30 p.m. on Friday. That’s 48 hours before kick-off on Sunday.

This year, the cost to park in the lot is still $40.

As always, the city released a list of Muni Lot rules ahead of the first game of the season, and reminded fans that alcohol consumption was not allowed.
