In lieu of the embarrassing loss to the Green Bay Packers this past Sunday, Browns Backer, Mike (Dawg Pound Mike) Randall, is attempting to organize a protest to be put on display for the entire nation to see.

The Browns Backers are some of the most die-hard Cleveland Browns fans in the country and several members are trying to gather up as many fans as possible to protest against the Browns upper management during their Monday Night Football game against the Baltimore Ravens on November 16 at Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Randall, a lifelong season ticket holder, is asking everyone who has tickets to the game to wait outside of the stadium on the concourse until after the kickoff, or just do not go to your seat at the opening kickoff, so as the game starts the nation will see how upset Browns fans are with the current state of the franchise.

Randall, 39, has said that he is tired of seeing a losing team and would like Browns management talk to the fans more in regards to the plan that is in place to improve the franchise back to it's winning ways.

The plan is to show as many empty seats at kickoff as possible in the hopes that owner Randy Lerner will take notice and become more proactive in getting this team turned toward the right direction to become competitive.

Whether this plan works out or not is up to you, especially if you have tickets for the game versus the Ravens.

A protest like this has never been attempted in Cleveland before because the fanbase has unconditionally and followed and supported the Browns no matter what the circumstances are, but as the 2009 season has progressed, the fans are about to take a stand and try to get their voice heard.

Randall also stated that, "We did this as a positive...we want to send a statement that the status quo cannot go on."

Will the protest work out and will Cleveland Browns Stadium be empty when Monday Night Football kicks off?

Tune in November 16 on ESPN to find out.
