The Cleveland Browns of the National Football League will be relocating from their current open-air stadium in Cleveland to a new domed stadium in Brook Park, Ohio. This decision was confirmed by the Browns owners after notifying Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb. The move has been criticized by the mayor for being profit-driven rather than focused on positive impact.
The Haslam family, owners of the Browns, cited the need for a domed stadium to support year-round activities as the reason for the relocation. The new stadium in Brook Park will be privately funded, with over $2 billion invested to create a significant economic development project. Despite the move, the Haslams maintain their commitment to enhancing Cleveland.
The departure of the Browns from Cleveland will result in a loss of $30 million per year in economic impact for the city. Negotiations between the city and the Haslam Sports Group regarding renovating the existing stadium or building a new one in Cleveland have been ongoing. However, the decision to move forward with a dome in Brook Park has been finalized.
Brook Park, located just over 16 miles from the current stadium, offers a new opportunity for the Browns. The team, valued at $6.02 billion, will be making the transition to the new venue. The Browns recently secured a naming rights agreement with Huntington National Bank for their current stadium.
