That debris on the shores of Bratenahl in Cleveland isn’t any normal debris. Those bricks are remnants from old Municipal Stadium, parts of which were used to build three reefs in Lake Erie after the cavernous former home of the Browns and Tribe was demolished.
Hurricane Sandy’s sweep across our Great Lake brought the bricks up from the depths and plopped them on land, lucky little souvenirs for someone out there, and reminders of how lucky most of us are here compared to those in New York and New Jersey. Thoughts and prayers with the victims and all those in the hardest hit areas.

Looks like the start of a nice roof.
I’ll take a few of them bricks…Awsome reminder of dime beer night in what? ’74?? ROFL!!!!!!
Even the Lake didn’t want that mistake.
The Browns are playing so bad, Lake Erie vomited up the Stadium to remind us that this was once a proud franchise.
Did any land on Haslam’s new property? He is going to resurect the Browns; is this a sign of return to glory days?
I will take the brick. I have been to the stadium since i was 5 years old. good and bad memories. now i have to hire someone to get the leftover brick from the lake to get them. PLEASE PLEASE
I want one.
does anyone know the exact site where the bricks were
My brother’s girlfriend jumped the fence back in 1995. It was during the demolition. I didn’t care either way at the time, but I wish I would have been with her. I have a bit of a brick fetish – old gyms, Hoosier college cathedrals, and football stadiums from yesteryear.
