Cleveland Councilman Invokes Art Modell Law Amid Browns Stadium Negotiations

The move aims to keep the Browns in Cleveland, highlighting the city's commitment to its residents and sports culture.

Cleveland City Councilman Brian Kazy announced plans to invoke the Art Modell Law, potentially blocking the Browns' move out of the city.
The Browns' owners, Dee and Jimmy Haslam, have expressed interest in building a new stadium in Brook Park, just outside Cleveland.
The Art Modell Law requires teams receiving taxpayer support to offer the city a chance to purchase the team before moving.
The law was named after former Browns owner Art Modell, who moved the team to Baltimore in 1996.
The invocation of the law reflects Cleveland's dedication to keeping its beloved NFL team within city limits.
