The lease between the City of Cleveland and the Cleveland Browns regarding the team’s current stadium runs through the end of 2028, so no future stadium plans are imminent right now.
However, rumors were flying early in the week after the Haslam Sports Group bought a ton of land in Brook Park which could be for the site of a future stadium.
This left a lot of plans frustrated that the team could move outside of the City of Cleveland if the future new stadium ends up being built in Brookpark. With all of these rumors going around the Browns decided to release a statement about future stadium plans.
“We’ve been clear on how complex future stadium planning can be. One certainty is our commitment to greatly improving our fan experience while also creating a transformative and lasting impact to benefit all of Northeast Ohio. We understand the magnitude of opportunity with a stadium project intent on driving more large-scale events to our region and are methodically looking at every possibility. We appreciate the collaborative process with the City of Cleveland and the leadership of Mayor Bibb in analyzing the landbridge and renovating the current stadium. At the same time, as part of our comprehensive planning efforts, we are also studying other potential stadium options in Northeast Ohio at various additional sites. There is still plenty of work to do and diligence to process before a long term stadium solution is determined and will share further updates at the appropriate time.”
