The plans look AMAZING and also reminds me of why the Browns may need to leave downtown. These stadiums are humongous entertainment complexes. They are more than just basic football stadiums anymore and unfortunately for Cleveland they just don’t have the space downtown to build one imo.

It just takes away more events that Cleveland might get if we build a lesser dome.
The plans are amazing, but I’m not sure why these plans make you think leaving downtown is a good idea.
This possibility for Chicago is tantalizing in huge part because it would be located downtown.
It’s also a reminder that if it can be done (we will see) in Chicago, then it absolutely can be done in Cleveland, which has much more “space” downtown (however that is defined).
These plans also reinforce the stakes for this move for Cleveland. If the Browns get this right, they could have the most appealing venue on the eastern half of the United States.
Throw that out the window if you move to Brook Park. You simply cannot compete with Minny or Chicago or even older venues like Indy or Detroit because all of those venues are downtown.
Cleveland has a cool downtown and a lake and if we trade that for a giant parking lot in Brook Park we will not be a venue that people are excited to place their events in.
I get it. The Braves moved out of downtown and now they have a ballpark village or whatever and it’s so cool because the owners get to control more revenue streams.
Do I really need to pretend that it will be cool to park in a giant surface lot in Brook Park and the extra “entertainment” adjacent to the parking lot is chain retail and chain restaurants? Maybe we can all go to a YARD HOUSE, but it will be cooler because YARD HOUSE is paying Jimmy to lease the building that they operate in?
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. I’m convinced that the people who want the Browns to move to Brook Park are the same people who get anxiety thinking about trying to park downtown.
Yup the “complex” idea is what the Browns are shooting for. Cleveland has had over 30 years to build up the Lakefront and has done nothing. Right now the Browns don’t get any money on gamedays outside of ticket sales, merch and food sales inside the stadium. The city and surrounding businesses get money from parking and everything else. They want to control the stadium and everything around it and I don’t blame them.
As far as the stadium, that building looks very generic. Almost looks like a clone of what was built in LA and LV. I’m hopeful that Cleveland does something that fits the city. Not just a cookie cutter design.
This, as of now, is an unapproved concept.
did not release these today, and did not get approved
If the Browns are going to move their stadium to Brook Park they should just move the entire franchise to Canton and build the new stadium near the HOF. Change the team name to the Canton Bulldogs, one of the first teams that made up the NFL. I’d actually love that. We could keep the colors and the dawg pound. It all still works.
There’s so much wrong in this post I don’t know where to start. These were revealed yesterday, not today. They are not approved. Also the entire surrounding area in Chicago (I live here) is city owned park land. This was in fact part of Chicago’s complaints about soldier field and why they threatened to go to Arlington Park. However, once that failed miserably, they suddenly don’t care and just want a new stadium half paid for by taxpayers.
Please please please read local Chicago media — not national or fucking instagram BS — on this if you want a perspective that will accurately inform your views on Cleveland’s Stadium situation.
Edit: also what is this insane recurring theme from Cleveland people that there’s no space in downtown Cleveland? I have spent a lot of time in both Cleveland and Chicago and this is insanity.
That’s dope AF
I’m still 100% for my HelliCarrier Stadium plans!
Flying Muni Lot and Stadium, we can park outside for away games.
So many DUI’s avoided.
I mean these things are 3 billion to build what’s another 30 billion between friends?
