Cleveland, OH – As we know, there has been an ongoing battle of whether the Cleveland Browns would be staying at their lakefront stadium, or moving, as their contract was coming to an end.
This talk of the move was extremely controversial to the city and the fans. Some fans were really upset over the idea of the team moving to a different suburb of Cleveland and leaving the lakefront stadium. While others were excited to hear the move and hear the plans of the new stadium being built. The new stadium includes lots more parking, a dome so that more events can be held there, and so many other cool things.
While the fans were split, it is going to be a good economic boost to the city of Brookpark, as they will get a huge income boost from this project once it is all finished. As mentioned, with a dome you can have many more options for events, and they can be held year round without having to consider the weather. Of course this means less snow game opportunities, but the new opportunities more than make up for that.
Now as for the backlash this is receiving, the Ohio Governor, Mike DeWine, recently passed a budget that is going to allocate $600 million to the Browns for their first grant towards the build of the stadium. The issue is that using the residents’ unclaimed funds violates multiple provisions in the state and federal constitutions. So now they will be bringing this to court and there may or may not be updates soon, but I will make sure to keep you informed.
