Celebratory mood after a Myles Garrett sack
Then try a classic burger with chips for $8 at Smashd. Comes with cheese, chipotle sauce and pickles. Why are they named Smashd? "When we make 'em you're gonna smash em' " a worker said near the stand at sections 504-505.

Give me a drink
You've been there before: The Browns are down and threatening, and a red-zone penalty sets them back, deflating the drive and your mood. A souvenir cocktail pint at Cleveland Cocktail Co. will set you back $21 (multiple locations, including inside the University Hospital Gate, 129-130-131, 503-504).

Thirsty and sober
For $8.50, you can have unlimited soda in 32-ounce souvenir cups featuring a different player each game. For the Buffalo game, it was Jarvis Landry, and it must have been good luck for the receiver: He hauled in nine catches for 97 yards and a touchdown. Workers don't know who the players are until game day. "It's a mystery to us when we get our delivery," one worker said. We found ours at Meat & Cleaver, multiple locations like sections 117-118, 346-347, 506-507.
