After the 1995 season, owner [[Art Modell]] decided to move the team to [[Baltimore]] for financial reasons, even though the team had an extremely loyal following in Cleveland. Cleveland was later awarded an expansion team that began playing in 1999. In a unique move, the new team was allowed to retain the team name, logos, and history of the Browns, while the original team that relocated started fresh as the [[Baltimore Ravens]]. More than any other team, Browns fans hate Steelers.
