The Cleveland Browns will continue the celebration of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Week at the third home game of the season by hosting a first-of-its kind Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Game at Huntington Bank Field as the Browns face off against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, October 20.

"The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame and the Cleveland Browns together embody the passion of our city. We are thrilled to partner with the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame for their 2024 Induction Week with this special first-time collaboration on Sunday," said Brent Rossi, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Media at Haslam Sports Group. "Before and throughout the game, we will highlight this year's Inductees in a number of different ways, connecting our fans with the history of rock & roll in Cleveland through football."

"We are thrilled to partner with the Cleveland Browns to highlight the massive impact and influence of our Inductees on rock & roll, the music that connects us all," said Greg Harris, President & CEO, Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame & Museum. "The first ever Cleveland Browns Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Game will be an exciting feature of our 2024 Induction Week when the national spotlight shines on Cleveland."

During the game, there will be a number of Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame branded takeover elements as well as activations and surprises celebrating Cleveland's very own Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees. There will also be inclusion of a number of artists from this year's Hall Of Fame Class as well as past Inductees throughout the day.
