dawg pound fans quickly developed a reputation for misbehavior as well as vociferousness. team officials banned the carrying of dog food into the stadium, as bleacher fans would shower the visiting team with milk-bones, along with eggs, batteries, and other objects. dawg pound fans also consumed hefty amounts of alcohol, even sneaking a keg into the stadium inside of a doghouse. their reputation was such that other teams' rowdy fans would often be compared to them - in 1989, when a cincinnati bengals game was halted by the throwing of debris at the visiting seattle seahawks, bengals coach sam wyche addressed the crowd, angrily reminding them that, "you don't live in cleveland, you live in cincinnati!"
