Thanks for the ideas folks. I have spent most of the day thinking about this, and looking at how this could work. I had to do a little research, but I'm thinking of starting it with this POD
1990. ESPN News Update. After a ballot issue created a sin tax in Cuyahoga County, and provided enough revenue to help the owners of the Cleveland Indians and the Cavaliers get new homes, the Browns have become a part of the Gateway project and hope to get a new stadium at some point in the future.
When asked about the project, Browns owner Art Modell stated that "it's important that the Browns have a new stadium. Municipal Stadium is a landmark, but the city needs a new home for the Browns, and I know the fans will appreciate it". While fans are excited that the Browns may finally get a new Stadium, some are suspicious of Art Modell. Many fans feel this was a PR move since many in Cleveland do not like Modell for a number of reasons, most notably among older fans, the firing of its first head coach, Paul Brown. Many fans though are just happy that the Browns stadium situation is improving.

ESPN- Cleveland wins first AFC title ever, hopes to win league for first time since 1964.
Today, the Cleveland Browns beat the San Diego Chargers 21-17, overcoming years of heartbreak in AFC title games. QB Vinny Testaverde played a good game, but it was the Browns defense who made key plays against San Diego, keeping them from coming back in the 4th quarter. It is the first AFC title for Browns fans, as well as their first Super Bowl appearance. Because of this, fans stormed the field after the win, even trying to tear down the goalposts after the game, though security kept fans from taking the goalposts. The Browns will play the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XXIX in Miami
Super Bowl.
49ers dominate Browns to win 5th title.
ESPN- It looks as if Cleveland will be without another title, at least for one more year. The Browns lost to the San Francisco 49ers 42-24 at Joe Robbie Stadium in Miami. Steve YOung threw for 5 touchdown passes and was the games MVP. For San Francisco, this was their 5th Super Bowl title, the most by any team in NFL history. As for the Browns, their first trip to the Super Bowl was one that they might want to forget. While Vinny Testaverde threw for 2 touch downs he also had two picks and Cleveland couldn't keep up with the 49er's scoring power. It was a hard ending for the Browns, who won their first AFC championship, and also opened their new stadium this past season. While many Cleveland fans were disappointed in the result, many will never forget their first Super Bowl trip.
I know i need to work out a lot of things, but its a start.
