How the ranking works

What goes into the Game Day Score

The score compares these bars with each other. We weigh screens and sightlines most heavily, then Browns-specific culture, local recommendations, ratings, food and drinks, and game-day hours. It is an editorial guide score, not a customer rating. National chains are excluded, and each local location is considered separately.

Hours, viewing schedules and sound policies can change for each game. Confirm with the venue before you go.
