The hype is real in Cleveland.
If there was any question about the how pumped Browns fans are for the season, it was answered Wednesday, when fan gobbled up the first wave of training camp tickets at a record pace.
According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the tickets for the first wave of practices — from July 25 and Aug. 2 — sold out in two minutes.
Next month, tickets for the second wave of training camp dates will open. Those will likely go just as fast, if not faster.
Some fans were not happy with being left on the outside looking in on the free tickets, being left with an eternal processing screen.
During training camp, a highlight will be the “Orange & Brown Scrimmage” at FirstEnergy Stadium, which is set for Saturday, Aug. 3.

Cleveland Browns Training Camp Storylines
Odell Beckham Jr. will be among the main attractions at minicamp. He came over to the Browns in the offseason via a blockbuster trade with the New York Giants.
Beckham will be looking to gain chemistry with second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield, who some have pegged as an MVP candidate.
Beckham is “giddy to get to work” with his new QB.
“I’m going to have to get adjusted to the speed because he has an arm,” Beckham said at minicamp. “He’s throwing that ball hard. Just catching him from the first day, it was like, ‘Wow! This is completely different.’ … It just takes time. Like I said, we play in September, so it’s a good thing.”
There’s also the issue of running back Duke Johnson Jr., who asked for a trade in the offseason following the team’s acquisition of embattled free agent Kareem Hunt.
“I won’t be a disgruntled employee. I won’t be causing scenes or losing focus on what’s important,” Johnson said at minicamp. “My thing is, I’m big on loyalty.”
The training camp is also the first for head coach Freddie Kitchens, who was awarded the job in the offseason after having much success as the team’s offensive play-caller.
