Yes. I imagine this basement in like suburban New Jersey.
I'll have you know that I'm only now contemplating redecorating my suburban NJ basement in this way.
“What’s the password?”
“Treelawn”
Stadium mustard
Devil's Strip
That would be Akron
Ten Cents
"end of an era"
"sweeper"
"Next year"
Do it.
The locals would catch word of it and condemn the man as a heretic
Haha! He lives in a suburb of Cleveland. I honestly think he would prefer to die than move away from the area. 😆
Careful what he wishes for . The next stadium just might be in his back yard
God damnit. I was going to make the same joke.
Funny enough, I saw Linus Tech Tips (based in Canada) had a Browns lava lamp.
Turns out, it was for an unboxing video they did for quote "Bad Sports Team Tech".
Big Cleveland guy
Thanks everyone for the kind words. My dad has worked very hard on the man cave. He finished the basement himself. I'm so happy he has a nice place to chill after retirement. It's terrible quality but here is a video of the man cave with the lights on!
If there’s a bathroom down there I’d like to think the toilet seat has a pittsburgh Steelers logo on it
Omg I forgot the bathroom! I just added it. You aren't far off!
EDIT: For some reason I can't add it to the original post but here it is
STOP HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bonus points.. Michigan logo in the toilet bowl?
People gotta be uneasy using it because they’d probably think there’s spy cameras in there. Seeing as that is kind of Michigan’s thing.
He's thought about it
The terrible towel to wipe your hands after is a great touch!
Well, a basement toilet is called a Pittsburgh Potty.
That hurts.
Prediction was spot on 🤣
Probably in the center of the bowl.
Please tell him to add “Cleveland, this is for you!” somewhere down there. The greatest 5 words in Cleveland sports history.
Will do!
For real! Such an amazing setup but a noticeable lack of King James
My dad isn't a huge basketball fan which is why there isn't much
Or something about taking his talents to south beach. Oh wait.....
Awesome 216 ♥️ & I love how everything is so neat and clean 🙂. I wouldn’t want to dust lol.
Looks like a great spot to watch a game
The headshots of Halle Berry and Drew Carey fucking killed me. Also the gas station hot dog roller? Get the hell outta here lol.
Lol he is so extra. After I took these pictures, he got a popcorn machine too.
Did I see a rollerdog machine?
He must get some pretty fun gifts.
Like if you tell people you like ladybugs, people are forever giving you ladybug stuff, and then you have way too much ladybug stuff.
But who doesn’t want a never ending flow of Cleveland stuff?
Very cool!
It's gotten to the point where he has had to tell people to stop giving him stuff, lol. Thank you!
Very nice love it
This basement screams 1996 to me and I mean that in the best way possible. I love it.
Yo lemme hang with you dad. That places looks chill as f
Please give that dog lots of pets from me.
This is the greatest thing I’ve seen in a while. Your dad is awesome
Love the picture of Drew Carey.
Sick. Tell your dad I’ll bring the bourbon.
Very cool!
Since I saw her in the big collage, I had to look her up. I had no idea the wicked witch of the west was from Cleveland (Margaret Hamilton). Bravo!
It’s true! She went to my school.

Thank you! For extra credit you should read about Frances Payne Bolton sometime. Also an alum, also a Renaissance woman (but in politics and public works.) She’s who the nursing school at Case is named for.
You are welcome and will take a look.
FYI - Detailed video about her and her Cleveland roots: Margaret Hamilton Cleveland’s Wicked Witch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thEcI\_-glEs
Another thing you may not know is that basically everybody on set, from producers, to actors, to cameramen, everybody treated the actress who played Dorathy like shit. I don't mean just gave her attitude, I mean legit abuse. I won't go into it here, but the one person who looked after her was the actress who played the wicked witch. She took Dorathy under her wing and protected her from the lion and the scarecrow.
Just google it, because if I say what I've read I'd probably get banned for "encouraging abuse", even though thats not what I'm doing. I'm saying it happened. I'm NOT saying it was ok.
Other than the TV being too high that’s bad ass
Well done basement! Certainly an homage to everything Cleveland is known for. My dad was from Cleveland too but migrated out to California in the 1970s whilst he did his service in the Air Force. He never went back because he said he couldn't stand Cleveland winters. However, he still supported the Browns and he watched all the Ohio State football games vs. Michigan. Lol You can take a man out of Cleveland but you can't take Cleveland out of the man. 😂 RIP dad. 🫡
Nice! How is Dave these days?
OMG HOW
is doing well! Loving retirement
Good for him
He must have a very poor memory to need all those reminders where he lives.
A friend of mine in Colorado who is from Pittsburgh has a basement bar/mancave with brick walls and PA beers on tap. Pittsburgh signs, etc in the bar.
That mural is tits
So dope! Whole lot of nostalgia.
Damn, that's a really nice finished basement!
But where's the leg lamp?!
It's on the right of the first picture! Might be hiding if you are on mobile
Nice!
your dad is a cool dude
Top tier cave bro💯
Love it! 👍
awesome
I like it - Did I miss the Danny Greene photo?
Ensconced in Cleveland
This looks like my Grandmas basement, ngl
Did ‘the Ghoul’ make the collage?
The Michigan toilet is so funny. I'm from Alabama and I'm going to have to do that LoL
Missing the Plums
No Superman?
ITT: people asking "Wheres (insert Cleveland thing here) without seeing it in the pictures.
Is your dad looking for friends because my dad’s basement looks exactly the same
your dad must sweat bertman's. I love this
That is an awesome mancave
Believeland
This dude CLE's
For those about to rock. Love that he's a Tribe fan.
This is so awesome 👌
Effing awesome!
Man when the area code changes his whole decor will be discontinued
Chief Wahoo proudly displayed as he should be. One day this will all be yours son.
That is awesome
Is your dad the mayor?
Oh hell yes - Long Live the Chief!
This is a very very nicely done cave. The Cleveland wall w/Drew Carey was pretty cool.
That’s righteous!
Hay I have the same season ticket holder Omar bat! Awesome job
Cute doggos
I can appreciate the Buzzard. I have one like it somewhere in my garage signed by daffy Dan and the wmms morning crew. I bought it when he closed his store downtown. The rest is a Supreme representation of the 216. Bravo 👏
That is awesome!!! GO TRIBE!!!!
Man that’s some depressing shit
Alex Bevan?
That’s what’s up and I bet he lives in Parma
He has to add a flaming lake. Like a watercolor or something

The dogs is cute. The rest gives me a headache.
Why do people hold on to memorabilia that has racist images on it? That's so odd to me.
I bet he's from Cincy
Love it!!

Very nice 👍🏻
Nice 216 room but no love for SATCHEL PAIGE #14 it’s got to be something with his name on it in that museum…

This is amazing!
Are we all invited?
HA! I found Drew! Not a fan of any Ohio teams, but I approve.
Love the Alex Bevan plaque!
As an interior designer I’d say that your dad loves it, so it’s nearly perfect. My only advice is to increase safety for him & anyone he loves over 40, as well as the grandkids, he should put a tight carpet on the steps, covering the entire width and length. CLEVELAND ROCKS!
This is awesome!
Pretty sure I hear this playing on your Dad's stereo...
Awesome! What’s the story with the Browns hot dog roller?
He bought it used somewhere and decorated the cart himself. He does sports parties down there so we use it for that a lot
Cool! Well it’s an amazing collection for sure!
I’m jealous!
8/10. Drew Carey just sneaking in there. Was he invited? Or did he just show up? He seems like the kinda guy who would just show up.
The neon on the ground gives me anxiety but regardless 10/10 would drink a beer there.
Looks awesome!!!
Nice
Why
When am I coming over? I’ll bring beer

Makes me miss home. Love the man cave! CLE ROCKS!
I love finished basements! I think I’d probably descend in late October and reemerge in April.
Ok.......all that effort, but just has a 40 inch tv? C'mon OPs DAD!!! Either splurge for one of those 96 inch 8K TVs, or get a projector! Hopefully he has surround sound.
That mirror is nice 👍🏻…Cleveland Rocks!
Imagine he didn’t leave there😂
It would be hilarious if you’re from like the middle of nowhere Canada or something and had never set foot in Ohio. Dad just got real jazzed about Cleveland.
