Overview

  • The Greater Cleveland Partnership has officially endorsed the Browns' proposal for a $2.4 billion domed stadium in Brook Park, citing regional economic benefits.
  • The Browns' financing plan includes $1.2 billion in private investment and $600 million in state-backed funding, which has passed the Ohio House and awaits Senate approval by June 30.
  • Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb and County Executive Chris Ronayne oppose the Brook Park plan, advocating instead for a $1 billion renovation of the current lakefront stadium.
  • Legal challenges under Cleveland’s Modell Law and the team’s expiring 2028 lease could delay the Brook Park project, potentially forcing the Browns to consider other options.
  • If state funding is not secured by the June 30 deadline, the Browns plan to pivot to a less-preferred $1 billion renovation of their downtown stadium.
