Cleveland, Haslams Strike Deal Clearing Browns' Move to $2.4 Billion Brook Park Dome

The settlement includes $100 million for lakefront demolition with all litigation over the relocation dismissed.

Overview

  • Haslam Sports Group will build a covered stadium and mixed-use development near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in Brook Park.
  • Both sides will drop their cases with prejudice, ending disputes that spanned federal and state courts over the team's planned move.
  • Cleveland will withdraw objections related to building height and airport flight paths, removing key regulatory barriers at the site.
  • The Browns are aiming to open the new venue for the 2029 season as the team and city coordinate a new road network to serve the area.
  • The agreement follows a state budget that earmarked $600 million for the project and a legislative rewrite narrowing the scope of the Modell Law.
