Art Modell's career in photos
 

Modell_Art_4_630
Art Modell purchased the Cleveland Browns for what was an unprecedented price of $4 million in 1961.
Modell_Art_1_630
Art Modell embodies the spirit of a true American success story. He has been described as bold, competitive, compassionate and highly-approachable entrepreneur – generally, a rare combination of qualities for men who have risen to his level of accomplishment.
Modell_Art_3_630
In February 1996, he brought the NFL back to Baltimore.
Modell_Art_2_630
In his 43 seasons of full ownership of the Browns and the Ravens, more than half of Art’s teams were in the playoffs.
Modell_Art_5_630
Modell won two NFL championships, 1964: 27-0 (over the Colts); and in 2000, 34-7 (vs. the NY Giants).
