MNF History: 1996
ABC Sports Online
Notes from the 1996 MNF season:
An agreement was reached between the league and the city of Cleveland, where the city was able to retain the Browns' heritage and records, and committed to building a 72,000-seat stadium for a new Browns franchise to begin play no later than 1999. Former Browns owner Art Modell was granted permission to move the club to Baltimore and rename it.
Former NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle died December 6.
