Cleveland Browns Stadium - Buffalo at Cleveland
The Blizzard Bowl of 2007 is a game that can only truly be appreciated by experiencing it first hand.I returned to Stadium #3, Cleveland Browns Stadium, to take part in what will surely be an instant classic, from the perspective of the weather we had to endure. Before the season began, it was decided that the Buffalo Bills vs. Cleveland Browns game would be our selection for the “Mann-cation” Buffalo Bills Road Trip of 2007.So the fellas from Buffalo met up with my fraternity brother Arnold and I at Cleveland Browns Stadium for a contest with playoff implications for both teams involved.A massive snow storm from the south was predicted to hit Cleveland right at gametime, ensuring that swirling winds and falling snow would create one of the most incredible atmosphere’s that I’ve ever been a part of.When we could actually see the field below, the players trudged through four inches of snow working against 43 mph winds in an defensive slug-fest.The Browns prevailed 8-0, as the Bills proved unworthy of the playoff expectations thrust upon them.Although a loss, the atmosphere provided by the storm made it a game I will never forget.
