The Browns are partnering with the Columbus-based company for a pass that will give fans first dibs on spots to watch training camp and faster entry to FirstEnergy Stadium on game day.

“It’s a unique concept we’re rolling to camp and extending to game day,” said Kevin Griffin Browns vice president of fan experience and marketing.
