Supposed ticket prices for the Cleveland Browns new domed stadium were released on X and the prices are crazy. The seats in the new dome in Brook Park might price out the average fan at these prices, especially for what the Browns are putting on the field right now.
The National Football League’s (NFL) Cleveland Browns have confirmed they plan to leave their current lakefront home in downtown for a new dome venue in the Brook Park suburb.
Confirmed:
Browns were offered US$1.2 billion proposal to renovate their current home by city officials, including US$461 million of public financing
The NFL team were also offered a 30-year lease extension, with its current deal expiring after the 2028 season
The Browns instead choose to proceed with plans to build a new domed venue in Brook Park, which will cost US$2.4 billion
Context:
The Browns have played at their current home since 1999. It was recently renamed as the Huntington Bank Field as part of a new 20-year stadium naming rights deal with the bank. The name will transfer to the new venue at Brook Park.
The lakeside location of their current home has brought up challenges for the team, such as traffic issues and a lack of parking. It is also an open-air venue, which is not considered ideal during the winter season. The Haslams said in a statement that the new domed venue would allow for “year-round activity”, and that its build would not require the use of existing taxpayer dollars.
Cleveland mayor Justin Bibb had previously set a deadline for 12th August for a response to the city’s renovation offer. Prior to the Haslams’ statement, he claimed the decision to leave would cost the city US$30 million per year in economic impact.
Comment:
The Haslams stated: ‘We’ve learned through our exhaustive work that renovating our current stadium will simply not solve many operational issues and would be a short-term approach.
’With more time to reflect, we have also realised that without a dome, we will not attract the type of large-scale events and year-round activity to justify the magnitude of this public-private partnership.’
Bibb had earlier said: “The Haslams’ choice to move the team away from this progress is frustrating and profoundly disheartening.
“This is a deliberate choice—one driven by a desire to maximise profits rather than positive impact. They had the opportunity to reinvest in Cleveland, transform the current stadium into a world-class facility, enhance the fan experience, and remain highly profitable. We put those options on the table in good faith. Unfortunately, that was not enough.”
