Look… nobody grows up dreaming about vacationing in Cleveland.

But you know what DOES sound fun?

Watching Panthers fans invade the Dawg Pound and turn a Browns home game into a black-and-blue party for an entire weekend.

We only get this trip once every eight years, and with the Panthers heading back to Cleveland for the first time since 2018, it’s time to load up and make some noise.

The Browns can bark all they want.

We’re bringing the Riot.

This weekend is built around football, breweries, and a surprisingly awesome downtown scene that most Panthers fans have never experienced before. We’ll be staying right in the heart of downtown Cleveland near bars, breweries, restaurants, and the waterfront - because if we’re doing Cleveland, we’re doing it correctly.

Saturday is all about exploring the city with your Riot family. Hit the breweries, roam downtown, visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and spend the night getting loud with your Riot fam at the Night Before Party.

Then Sunday arrives.

And that’s when things get fun.

We’ll start the morning with a classic Roaring Riot tailgate before marching into Huntington Bank Field together to challenge the Dawg Pound head-on. Browns fans think they’re loud. Ok.

We’ve been doing this long enough to know what happens when Panthers fans travel together: we take over.

And with the Panthers looking to make a statement early in the season against an AFC opponent we rarely get to see? This one has all the ingredients for a WIN!

Cleveland may not be on your bucket list.

But beating the Browns in their own stadium with hundreds of Panthers fans around you absolutely should be.
