Exactly. We can spend more money getting people who want to win...but can't have players playing in the cold, rain, and snow....like they for the last 50 years.
Football is quicklly becoming the arena league. Maybe thats their intention. Its not football that a lot of us grew up watching and revered, which is sad. I cant think of one person who when they see a late season game on TV in a possible bad weather situation does not get excited. Those days are going away..
Not going to lie I do like the look of this proposed stadium but I agree football should be played in cold weather which is why I understand places like Vegas and Arizona building domes but not northern cities.
Very sad to see this for downtown Cleveland! An NFL stadium helps make a city vibrant and adds to downtown economic growth. "Suburb cities" are just plain boring. You rarely hear someone say I can't wait to go visit a suburb! ..."Oh look there's another shopping plaza with an Olive Garden beside it! . Urban sprawl is a huge issue in this country. Fortunately, some cities are having a renaissance in their urban core. I hope this is not a setback for Cleveland.
@@dsdwtn5911 I agree because when the Lions played in Pontiac it was dead out there. Now they are downtown and when there's a game it's a major event downtown.
Can someone kindly answer this question for me please...I thought a condition for getting a football team back to Cleveland was that the team could not be again moved out of Cleveland proper, is this incorrect?!?🤔
The Browns moving into a domed stadium while simultaneously playing in the brutal, smashmouth AFC North sounds oxy-moronic to me. I guess they figure they have a better chance of hosting a Superbowl than playing in a Superbowl. Business decision.
The funding isn't approved yet. So this isn't final. State needs to approve it. The mayor of Cleveland should keep the current stadium in place. Try to use it for concerts with Rock Hall and other events. Maybe even attract another sports team or a real NFL franchise to return to Cleveland. Stick it to the Haslams.
@@patrickbateman2901 Yes, new stadiums like the new one planned will bring year-round revenues. But it does not guarantee a team's success ON the field. Putting the new stadium next to the airport means a longer drive for those from the lakefront.
This stadium is going to be a financial failure for the Haslam’s. The “built up” area around the stadium is going to flop MASSIVELY. No one wants to hang out in Brook Park and so unless there is a game going on or a MASSIVE act in town(Maybe 20 total dates a year), this place will be a ghost town. I hope the Cuyahoga County tax payers aren’t left footing the bill for the Jimmy’s selfishness.
Thanks for mentioning exactly where....I couldn't find information on that anywhere. So the old Ford plant...live right down the street and will scope it out this weekend.
NFL teams don’t want to be downtown anymore. I like that. The game day experience is better in the suburbs. There’s space to tailgate. Oakland and San Diego were great game day experiences.
The trade off is the crazy amount of traffic and next to no amenities outside the stadium. Location matters, I much rather trade a tailgate for a bar/ stuff to do outside the place then be in an area where it’s mainly residential. All you are doing is showing up just to go right back by car 😅, sounds like a horrible experience. Ask the niners how it’s going for them.
Much like How the JETS and GIANTS Practice and Play Game in New Jersey Now but they’re still “New York” Teams. Also, the COWBOYS never played in Dallas, “Arlington Cowboys”?
@@dgratt183 Technical the RAMS & CHARGERS Do Play in Los Angeles County. Santa Clara is a Long Way Off from San Francisco. The REDSKINS Play in Virginia since leaving RFK. The BILLS Play in Orchard Park and the DOLPHINS Play in Miami Gardens which at least has the name sake Miami.
@@matthewmiller7207 Yes. The COWBOYS did Play at the Cotton Bowl from 1960-1971 in Dallas. Much like both the GIANTS and JETS once played in New York City at Yankees Stadium/Polo Grounds and Shea Stadium. The DOLPHINS used to play at the Orange Bowl in Miami and the 49ers use to play at Candlestick Park in SF.
I’m just taking solace in the fact that it will be a huge financial flop for Jimmy and Dee. Plus we will get some prime lakefront development at the old stadium site that hopefully will be accessible to all.
They’ll never host one. Dome or not. It’s -15 in NE Ohio in the winter. The Super Bowl has hands on experiences outside the stadium all Super Bowl week. Unless the whole city is a dome then they won’t host one haha use your brain
Amazing how NFL teams need new stadiums every 20 yrs. But colleges and universities just renovate and make their stadiums better over 100 yrs. The product, environment, and fan base is much better too.
I went to a game at Huntington Bank Stadium and thought it was a perfectly good stadium. I walked there from my downtown hotel and enjoyed tailgating in the famous Muni Lot. But with little surrounding land it makes sense to move. Rumor has it that the Haslem's will bring an NWSL franchise to Cleveland and build a smaller soccer stadium on the redeveloped lakefront location.
This isn't just about the Browns. A dome stadium allows them to host the NCAA Final Four, a Super Bowl, NCAA Bowl Games including a National Championship Game political conventions, concerts, FIFA Soccer and more.
And what does that do for Browns fans? I don't care about watching other teams play a superbowl in empty Brook Park. NCAA Final Four would be played in an arena, not a football stadium. Rocket Mortgage Field House has already hosted NCAA, Republican Convention, and many concerts. They would have to compete with them in Cleveland. Look at Detroit, they get about 20 events a year. Cleveland doesn't have the market for it to be some major hub for entertainment like Vegas.
@Now10100 i mentioned it because Chicago has a lot going on. The Bears want a new domed stadium downtown next to the current Soldier Field. The fans do too. But the Bears want some financial assistance from the city and the state. The city already has a nearly $1 billion budget shortfall and the state has said it doesn't want to use public taxpayers money to fund private businesses. Keep in mind that the Bears OWN a property in a suburb 20 minutes northwest of O'Hare that waa purchased with the initial intention of building a domed stadium, shops and hotels. The team balked at the tax assessments that they would have to pay for that property . Add to the mix the Chicago White Sox also want to build a new downtown stadium about 3/4 mile west of Soldier Field and want $1billion in financial assistance from the state. Again, the state has said that they may be willing to help with infrastructure ( streets, etc) the state isn't willing to fund private businesses with taxpayers dollars. The Bears main selling points are bringing the Super Bowl and the NCAA Final Four to Chicago among other year round events. We will see if the Bears are successful in getting funding for the new stadium downtown or if they ultimately decide to build in Arlington Heights.
I mean, I'm a browns fan. Don't usually go to games. Went to WWE summerslam in Browns Stadium. Went to 3 Browns games (2 pre-season games) since 1999. I don't really care. Airport isn't a bad location even though I"m on the other end of town (Hudson). Definitely like the idea. I wish they would close the airport and demolish stadium downtown and put in something cool or new buildings. Would kind of like to see them stay and not waste taxpayer money but hey, I don't live in cuyahoga county so it's not my money.
Yuck! This is NOT natural turf and we will see more injuries. The plastic turf should not be allowed. Keep the stadium out doors and natural sod.. Think of the players, too!
Back in 1971,our field was grass. We merged with another school, put our team in a different classification. We had to move our home field to the Rubber Bowl, which wad astro-turf. Quite an adjustment for the players. The positive part, the uniforms weren't caked on mud..
A real shame. We have the nicest playing surface in the NFL - even in Dec-Jan. Groundskeepers do a hell of a job keeping it up. Too bad they're joining the ever increasing number of dome teams.
YOU SOUND NUTS. You dont want the area to have a dome which can get more events coming to it over a damn 8 games a year and a concert or two on taxpayers dime over some effin grass? Get the hell outta here...they could even make the dome have regular natural grass like the Cardinal's dome. But to write off a damn dome for some grass in a limited use stadium is clown thinking
I grew up in Cleveland. The location of the old, and now current stadium has always been horrible. The Muni lot used for tailgating is a half mile away from the stadium. There's really nothing around it. It was built on an old landfill. It would be better to just repurpose it as a park or entertainment/residential. The Brook Park location is way more centrally located, and is already close to the RTA rapid train.
@@smf15 you need ROI for the taxpayers and more than a few football games and concerts a year on our dime. This is exactly the reason you need a dome over an open air one
having a dome does give you more avenues for money and revenue (concerts, final four basketball, super bowl) I just hate them. Football is an outdoor sport and should stay that way
Don't let the promises of Super Bowls, Final Fours, and CFP games fool you. You'll get monster truck and the X-Games instead. US Bank in Minneapolis is the perfect example. Only 1 of each so far and nothing scheduled on the horizon for years.
I grew up in Detroit, so I'm used to dome stadiums. Domes are good and bad. It sucks they don't play in all the bad weather because it's fun to watch. For the local economy a dome is good, because you can bring in so many more events, Final 4, Frozen 4, ect.
I’m a lions fan, so I’m used to Ford field growing up. However seeing Detroit take down the packers on that frozen turf before Rodgers left for NYC is something that’ll always be in my memories. Stadiums in the NFL should be 50-50 as some of those outdoor venues can host NHL hockey games especially in colder regions.
It's only 15 miles away, good for the entire region, still in the same county. To tell you the truth I loved the old stadium but it was neglected for years and had to go.
THE COLD 🥶 WEATHER and the FANS Give Cleveland a real home field advantage . They will probably have a Super Bowl in Ckeveland now . I prefer the lake Erie stadium
I went to my first Browns game a month ago when they played the Giants at home. Yeah they’re having an awful season and it’s all Deshaun Watson’s fault but I’m glad I saw one game in the current stadium. There’s something about football on a lake shore that just hits different. Makes me wonder what will happen to the current land space if/when they tear down FirstEnergy.
Is Cleveland still on the 15 minute city prospect list? I wonder if this stadium is involved with that, or they just moved because of crime around the current stadium?
No I live here , the issue the haslems have is really airport access and the city of Cleveland not willing to put money out for a dome. So the owner bought 200 acres of land in Brookpark
its not effin crime...its about when the taxpayers are paying for your damn stadium, you need to drive more events to it year around than 8 games and two damn concerts. Waste of money the way it is now
I don't like how often teams are changing stadiums. It seems like stadiums are only lasting 20-30 years now, where previously teams would spend double that amount of time. Its so wasteful, costs taxpayers a fortune, and just results in abandoned stadiums that either need to be demolished (for even more money) or just take up valuable space.
Cleveland did this back in the day with the Cavs. It failed. Nothing else grew in the area they closed it up and moved back downtown. Bad idea Mr hasslem
They are literally moving 12 minutes down 71!!! People are acting like they are moving to Wyoming or something, this stadium is going to be awesome! Take your old ass football needs to be played in the cold stuff as bounce! It's a retractable roof, it can open if it needs!!!
Why did you have to say the Browns will be looking for their franchise quarterback by the time the new stadium is ready- Really - they wouldn’t know a franchise quarterback if he were standing right next to them.
@@LIL-MAN_theOG nobody refers to them as the browns that's the issue. They either say we're playing Cleveland or we're playing the Cleveland Browns. It's been that way since the 60s
People are so soft these days, before domed stadiums were invented EVERY game was held outdoors. Some of my favorite games/atmospheres I’ve ever been were in the thick of winter freezing cold. I dressed accordingly and I was fine.
Browns moving to Columbus and they own the Columbus Crew it all makes sense. Also Columbus population is growing while Cleveland population is declining. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Cavaliers and Guardians call Columbus home. - Columbus Cavaliers - Columbus Blue Jackets - Columbus Clippers - Columbus Wardogs - Columbus Crew FC
sad to see cities are still falling for this stadium grift. 2+ BILLION dollars for a stadium that has less than a dozen games a year? EXCELLENT investment...... SMH
@@dubvuchyea502 Bud, the stadium we have now looks like shit. The renderings of the new stadium look good. They don't own the land the current stadium sits on. The second Haslem bought the land in Brook Park, this was a done deal. Get over it.
One would think they would spend more money on winners hiring winners instead of people who just phone it in....But, I don't follow or waste my time or money on them. Maybe I'm wrong....
Looks like a big Green house. Lol. Definitely deffrent. Maby this will finally get this organization winning a superbowl in the near future. At least by 2030
won't miss all the walking, price gauging parking and all the new grief with tailgating. That plus all the road nonsense makes getting out of Dodge a good idea. Had to see it coming.
Great. They can be 1-16 in a new barn-like structure.
Exactly. We can spend more money getting people who want to win...but can't have players playing in the cold, rain, and snow....like they for the last 50 years.
😂😂😂
Barn-like has more soul than that.
Yeah, let's shell out a few billion ..
For THIS team!!
$2.4 billion for a stadium used 180 times in its lifetime. Football stadiums are the biggest waste.

I'd rather watch 2 bad teams play in a blizzard than 2 good teams play in a dome.
May as well just stick with college football at this point since a majority of stadiums will remain outside. At least Buffalo made the right decision.
Same here. I hate it, but it makes sense financially since it can host other events, like concerts and maybe the Super Bowl

2 billion to host one (1) Super Bowl? No way to cost justify that one.
The Browns are going to the Super Bowl if they can get tickets
Their current stadium has never hosted any kind of playoff game. At least the Super Bowl would allow them to host a playoff game
If they are truly moving at Brookpark, they need to fix all the highways and roads that feed it. Terrible roads and infrastructure in Brookpark.
Im sure thats one thing they actually will do. They want it as easy as possible for fans to come in and blow all their money🤣
That rendering is cool
Not so cool when taxes go up to pay for it.
Oh
Think about what Los Angeles had to go through tax wise for that stadium

$2.7 billion is about half the cost of SOFI Stadium in Los Angeles. In a few years Haslam will complain its not good enough.
I do not live in Cleveland (almost did about 11 years ago), but I'm highly disappointed with this news.

Its so wasteful, costs taxpayers a fortune, and just results in abandoned stadiums that either need to be demolished (for even more money) or just take up valuable space.
They don't deserve a new stadium. This is another Manzel/Watson move. Stupid.
I heard they want to put a rapid station over there some how
make the owners and the nfl pay for the stadium no taxpayer's money
Wish they could have worked out a new domed stadium downtown but as a lifelong Browns fan Im glad they re finally getting one!
Structurely impossible. Lakefront is reclaimed landfill and auto salvage. Weight of a dome would sink it.
The brook park browns ?
No, they're still in Cleveland
So i have at least 4 years to fall out of love with my fav NFL team
Indoor football is not Browns football
You said nothing about the Art Modell law that could prevent the Browns from leaving Cleveland.
It would be suicide for them to enact this. Once the lease is up in 2028 they would be able to move anywhere at that point and no one could stop them.
Why not a retractable roof? NFL is going pussyfoot. Browns are a bare knuckle football town. This is weird!
Cleveland did this back in the day with the Cavs. It failed. Nothing else grew in the area they closed it up and moved back downtown. Bad idea Mr hasslem
I thought hell would freeze over first before they would ever build a dome in cheap Cleveland.
Dome sweet dome😂😂😂
The wall of seats and the huge tv need to swap ends, would make it a proper european style kop end with the overhanging roof over the seats
A domed stadium..Uggg
Maybe that'll give Cleveland a chance to host Super Bowl LXVI in 2032
that would be as close to the superbowl the brown's will get so why not host one
There is enough room to no impact that existing Ford building it looks like.
Traffic will be a fecking nightmare 😢
Afc north team in a dome? No thanks
bye...
They are literally moving 12 minutes down 71!!! People are acting like they are moving to Wyoming or something, this stadium is going to be awesome! Take your old ass football needs to be played in the cold stuff as bounce! It's a retractable roof, it can open if it needs!!!
The Browns still stay in Cuyahoga County, but it's shocking they leave the county seat and move to a suburb.
Why did you have to say the Browns will be looking for their franchise quarterback by the time the new stadium is ready- Really - they wouldn’t know a franchise quarterback if he were standing right next to them.
Hopefully the hasslems won't be the owners when the new stadium opens
Can't call them the Cleveland browns if they're not in Cleveland.
you act like every team actually plays in the city proper that theyre named after...lets start with the Jets and Giants big brain...this aint new.
@@LIL-MAN_theOG nobody refers to them as the browns that's the issue. They either say we're playing Cleveland or we're playing the Cleveland Browns. It's been that way since the 60s
Close enough for government work 😂
Athletics just released new renderings in a Las Vegas meeting that include the Ballys casino towers and development for around the stadium
People are so soft these days, before domed stadiums were invented EVERY game was held outdoors. Some of my favorite games/atmospheres I’ve ever been were in the thick of winter freezing cold. I dressed accordingly and I was fine.
Browns moving to Columbus and they own the Columbus Crew it all makes sense. Also Columbus population is growing while Cleveland population is declining. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Cavaliers and Guardians call Columbus home.
- Columbus Cavaliers
- Columbus Blue Jackets
- Columbus Clippers
- Columbus Wardogs
- Columbus Crew FC
I still say the schematics of the stadium drawing or rendering looks like a big version of The Brady bunch house
sad to see cities are still falling for this stadium grift. 2+ BILLION dollars for a stadium that has less than a dozen games a year? EXCELLENT investment...... SMH
Pretty much everyone in Cleveland saw this coming. And the majority of us Browns fans like it.
No we dont
@@dubvuchyea502 Bud, the stadium we have now looks like shit. The renderings of the new stadium look good. They don't own the land the current stadium sits on. The second Haslem bought the land in Brook Park, this was a done deal. Get over it.
One would think they would spend more money on winners hiring winners instead of people who just phone it in....But, I don't follow or waste my time or money on them. Maybe I'm wrong....
@@alwaysup34 Welcome to the Poodle Parlor! It’s not the Dawg Pound anymore.
Anyone still a Browns fan is a true masochist.
Location seems better, but I wish it was outdoors
Not one dollar of taxpayer money should be spent on this putrid example of an organization.
Was the goal to design the ugliest stadium possible?
Wow! A stadium video! Don't see these much anymore.
Ummmmm you're literally on a channel dedicated to stadiums 🙄
I just hope it’s natural grass inside.
Good. Can the city get a new team now with players who wanna win?
Looks like a big Green house. Lol. Definitely deffrent. Maby this will finally get this organization winning a superbowl in the near future. At least by 2030
won't miss all the walking, price gauging parking and all the new grief with tailgating. That plus all the road nonsense makes getting out of Dodge a good idea. Had to see it coming.
You really think parking will be cheaper when Haslam has a monopoly on it?
@@smf15 If I don't have to pay $90.00 and walk three blocks, hell yes.
Yet another expensive stadium being abandoned only after 25 years of use. Unbelievable.
that's billionaires for you....
2 Billion dollars. You got 2 Billion dollars? I know Cleveland doesn't. Say hello to the Oklahoma City Browns in a couple years. Rebuilds are fun.
How old is their current stadium?
25 years
Worried about an old ford plant being next to the stadium with fumes? Dude, we’re next to an airport. Go Browns
Taking a factory of sadness literally
