On November 6, 1995 Browns team owner, Art Mordell, announced that he had signed a deal to relocate the Browns to Baltimore for 1996. Art Mordell got over 100 lawsuit filed, the city of Cleveland, and a host of others. Actor/comedian Drew Carey returned to his hometown of Cleveland on November 26, 1995, to host "Fan Jam" in protest of the proposed move. Virtually all of the team's sponsors immediately pulled their 
support, leaving Cleveland Municipal Stadium devoid of advertising during the team's final weeks. After a 3-1
start for the Browns after the news about the move, they fell apart. The Browns went 5-11 in the 1995 season. When fans in the Dawg Pound became unruly during their final home game against the Cincinnati Bengals, action moving towards that end zone had to be moved to the opposite end of the field, the Browns won that game, the only win after the news about moving to Baltimore.
