The Cleveland Browns are officially moving to the suburbs.
The Ohio lawmakers not only modified the Modell Law to facilitate easy passage, but they also secured $600 million in funds for the Haslam Sports Group and the Browns to secure their new project. Given the steep time, energy, and preparation the team has been putting into making the fanbase aware of their intentions to build a dome in Brook Park, just outside of Cleveland, this move comes as no surprise. We’ve seen it coming from a mile away.
The Haslam Sports Group wants to create a facility that can not only house the Browns but is conducive to hosting events for four seasons of the year instead of two. The hope is that the city can host a Super Bowl, NCAA tournament regional games, larger-scale concerts, and more.
But when will the Browns officially move to Brook Park?
The Browns have a lease with their current stadium downtown on the Lake Erie waterfront through the 2028 season. This means we will still have four more seasons of the Browns in the poorly constructed Huntington Bank Field off the coast of Lake Erie. This gives the Haslam Sports Group four years to get their dome built and prepared for a Cleveland Browns game day.
So, for fans who are upset about the move to a dome and the suburbs, just like the president, you’ve got four more years.
