OFFICIAL NEWS: Cleveland Browns HC have been…

Discussions on the Cleveland Browns’ future stadium are rife on social media.
This is in response to reports that the Haslam Group has acquired 176 acres in the neighboring Brook Park.
That isn’t downtown Cleveland, even though it’s close to the Hopkins-Cleveland Airport.
In response, Browns supporters promptly started talking about the location, design, and price of a new stadium.
The team posted a statement on Twitter about the stadium scenario before fantasy became too vivid.

They acknowledge that they are looking at new locations, but they make no mention of their recent real estate transaction.

From the tone of the message, it is clear the Browns don’t want to break off negotiations with the city.

Spokesman Peter John-Baptiste starts by reminding fans of the complexity of any new stadium deal, and he reiterates the Browns’ commitment to enhance the experience of their fans.

But then the statement reminds everyone that their goal is to benefit all of Northeast Ohio.

That certainly leads one to believe moving out of downtown Cleveland is a serious option.

New venues tend to draw new interest and opportunities for tax-generating events.

Mayor Bibb and the City of Cleveland are thanked for their help in exploring access improvements and renovations.

There is no mention of the governor or any state-level officials despite the potential to enhance their coffers.

Cleveland would be far from the first NFL team to move outside the limits of the city they represent.

With much to negotiate and explore, any such move is still years away.
