Cleveland Browns propose 2 billion+ new stadium project
 

The Haslams have committed to privately investing $2 billion-plus in a dome stadium and mixed-use development project a mile outside Cleveland city limits, with the intention of trying to cement the team’s future in Northeast Ohio.

Their current stadium is like 25 years old.

Crazy.

It'll cost $2.4 billion because the stadium will be surrounded by statues of all of the Browns' starting quarterbacks since 1999.

Factory of Sadness 2

It looks like it will have a half mile radius around the stadium entirely paved, but for walking on, not parking.

HA! Good luck!

Who was the architect for this? Mike Brady?

They want 600 million dollars of public money..

For $2500 you can QB the Browns for one series

The largest and most expensive doghouse ever built.

Don’t worry, I’m sure THIS time they’ll FINALLY win a home playoff game before moving to the next stadium.

With the amount of sadness that factory will be able to produce, it will eventually pay for itself.

Looks awesome! The house DeShaun Watson built!

Looks like a nice place to hang out. In Cleveland.

Wonder if the U Minnesota stadium here will lose its sponsorship.

How many playoff games did the Browns win with the 'old' stadium.

The only place I am hanging out in CLE is the Winking Lizard bar.
Good food and beer

They’ve never hosted a home playoff game in that stadium LMAOROFL

Edit: one of 5 teams with that distinction. Faders LMAO, Sharters ROFL, Falcons and Jets are the other 4.

They will probably build it on Indian burial ground.

How much do the Hunts want?

There is no such thing.

I think alot of people are tired of giving money to billionaires for their plaything.

Jets moved in when??????? and never hosted a playoff game??

Holy ****

Queue up the Cleveland tourism video!

Mega factory of sadness


Their qb is hoping for a really nice massage room.

The new Arrowhead is going to have to be a convertible rocket that can take off and host games from space at this point

Nice idea but the stadium itself looks like a huge sale barn.

The good news is that they can ask Deshaun Watson and Myles Garrett for loans on the down payment.

i would 100% do this

I'd do it too, but I'd want to do mostly handoffs. No long routes and no bootlegs. For reasons.

That design looks like ass.

It'll look like the terracotta army

I don’t like how those billionaires hold the city hostage.

They get every damn tax break in the world and still **** over the community just so 80 thousand residents have a place to watch a game 8 times a year.

Nah, the alternative is becoming St. Louis or Oakland. The investment far exceeds the benefit to most cities. Imagine KC without the Chiefs...

I went to the Chiefs/Chargers at So-Fi this fall, hated the feel of that "plush" stadium.

One thing about the Browns, they have the toughest fans in sports.

Aw man u beat me to it

Well done

I'm not. I want the Chiefs and an NBA team here at any cost.

Now the Royals...I really don't care. John Sherman can go get fuct if all I care.

I'm sure for all the people that give 2 ****s about sports that's where they want their money to go.

I mean lets have a real conversation, you give a dude worth billions of money more money so he'll put a stadium in your city to give you the ability to...go give him more money.

Meanwhile your roads suck, your schools suck, your healthcare sucks.

NBA has declined over the last 5 years. NHL is way better now

I'd check it down constantly, because that's probably as far as I can throw it.

That is just what social media narratives tell you.

Watch the Thunder or the Cavs play.

It is poetry in motion. Then have an open mind and go back and watch late 90s or early 2000 NBA.

You're eyes will bleed. Sometimes narratives take on a life of their own.

All of those things literally suck everywhere. Paying for stadiums has nothing to do with it.

Browns going to Brown.

^this^ the ancillary benefits of having a major league sports town is many times the difference between growing or dying. It's not like these billionaires aren't footing 2/3's or so of the costs now, and as HTIS say, this has little to do with the management of the city who's funding should adequately keep infrastructure dependable and operational. This is usually done in an additional sales tax in addition to the operational taxes for the city's budget. No stadium no additional tax.
