Opening Day record crowds fade as Cleveland Stadium closes
Jerry Rambach, sports editor of The Chronicle, reflects on the final crowd at Cleveland Stadium. He recalls 72,390 attendees, the mausoleum-like atmosphere, and hopes for a 43,000-seat Gateway while noting the anticipated attendance shifts with a smaller park. He longs for a pennant race dream but laments the end of an era.

Stover starts hot as Browns place kicker rides early run
Browns kicker Matt Stover touts his quick start as he aims to sustain reliability over a 16 game season. He has made seven of eight field goals, including two from 40 to 49 yards, with one 52 yard miss noted earlier. Offseason adjustments focus on consistency. The Browns also shake up depth at guard and center, re signing Red Mistead and waiving Lance Zeno, while rookie Wally Williams fills backup center duties behind Steve Everitt.
