Busy pregame inside Stadium

11.16.2009

Cleveland Browns Stadium is abuzz with pregame activities that include tributes to Veteran's Day and the 40th anniversary of Monday Night Football, as well as fireworks presented by Phantom Fireworks.

ESPN has been broadcasting from the sideline and will continue up until kickoff.

In celebration of Veteran's Day, US Army war veteran Fred Kubli, Jr. is joining the Browns as the Honorary Coin Toss Captain. Kubli was drafted in to the Army in July 1944 and his military decorations include the American Theatre Campaign Medal, European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal and World War Two Victory Medal.

The Browns and Cleveland Foobank once again partnered to provide aid for the less fortunate prior to tonight's game. The Cleveland Foodbank supplies a majority of the food used in local hot meal sites, shelters, and food pantries. In addition, they provide food to child care centers, group homes, and programs for the elderly. The Foodbank works closely with other Northeast Ohio hunger relief organizations, providing food and nonfood products to hunger centers administered by the Hunger Network of Greater Cleveland, the Catholic Hunger and Shelter Network, and the Salvation Army, among others.
