Overview
- The Cleveland Browns have filed an amended complaint in federal court, reinforcing their challenge to Cleveland's attempt to block their move to a domed stadium in Brook Park, Ohio.
- The Browns argue that the Art Modell Law, cited by Cleveland to prevent the relocation, violates the U.S. Constitution and does not apply to an intracounty move.
- The proposed $2 billion domed stadium, funded entirely with private capital, is positioned as a year-round venue expected to generate significant economic and regional benefits.
- The team asserts that adding a dome to the current Huntington Bank Field is unfeasible due to FAA height restrictions and criticizes the city's renovation plans as costly and inadequate.
- The Browns emphasize that the planned move to Brook Park, less than a mile from Cleveland, is consistent with NFL precedents where teams play in suburban stadiums within their home territories.
