When Lance Evans and HKS first learned they were awarded the opportunity to design a new domed stadium for the Browns, Managing and Principal Partners Dee and Jimmy Haslam gifted Evans a retro Cleveland Browns jacket.
It's one that he wears often. When he travels across the country and around the world, he's stopped by Browns fans complimenting the jacket. Evans was recently in Columbus at a local coffee shop where he happened to get stopped – this time, by Dee Haslam.
