Training Facility
Cleveland Browns Training and Administrative Complex
The Cleveland Browns Training and Administrative Complex is located in Berea, Ohio, on 13 acres of land. The building, which originally opened in August 1991, was renovated in the spring of 1999, while further renovations and expansion commenced during the 2009 offseason. The most recent improvements include an expanded locker room, a lobby restoration that pays tribute to Browns' Hall of Famers and a complete renovation of the cafeteria, video room, and meet- ing rooms, including a new 2,300 sq. ft. auditorium featuring 120 theater seats.
Existing features in the state-of-the-art facility include a field house of 60,000 sq. ft. with a 70-yard field, a 3,100 sq. ft. athletic training room and a restaurant-style kitchen for meal preparation. The complex also hosts three regulation-size natural grass practice fields ideal for year-round football operations, including the team's training camps.
The Dino Lucarelli Media Center
The Dino Lucarelli Media Center, which opened in December of 2002 at the Browns Training and Administrative Complex in Berea, features an expansive media work room, two radio/television interview rooms, a kitchen and private locker space for media members.
Lucarelli, 74, has been working with Cleveland media for nearly 50 years and has been affiliated with the Cleveland Browns organization since 1975 with responsibilities in player relations and media services. He cur- rently serves as the club's Director of Alumni Relations and is a panelist on the Cleveland Browns Legends Club committee. Lucarelli called the naming of the media center "one of the biggest thrills of my life."
The Cleveland Chapter of the Professional Football Writers Association (PFWA) has named its "Good Guy Award" for Lucarelli. The Good Guy Award is given annually for cooperation with the media and for the way a player carries himself in the community and with his teammates. The National Football Foundation (Northeast Ohio Chapter) Lifetime Achievement Award is also named for Lucarelli.
