The Cleveland Browns have announced plans to move from their current lakefront stadium in downtown Cleveland to a new domed facility in Brook Park, Ohio, despite extensive efforts by the city to retain the team. Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, expressing frustration, stated that the city had proposed a $1.2 billion renovation of the current stadium, including a significant public-private partnership, but the Browns selected the $2.4 billion Brook Park project instead. This decision is anticipated to result in over $30 million in lost economic impact for the city. The current lease at Huntington Bank Field expires in 2028, and the new stadium is expected to open in time for the 2028 season. The Browns' move has sparked mixed reactions from fans and has raised concerns about public financing and the impact on downtown Cleveland businesses. County officials have expressed opposition to public funding for a stadium outside of Cleveland, highlighting ongoing tensions around the relocation.
