Staying Put (and Outdoors) or Dome Sweet Dome in the 'Burbs?
-
I think a dome is what will happen, and season ticket holders will be gouged on PSLs.
There was talk years ago about putting a stadium on the post office land downtown (Orange Ave.). I have no idea if that's still even possible. The City of Cle will do whatever they can to keep them there IMHO.
I saw a couple stories about how longtime Buffalo Bills season ticket holders have seen their prices skyrocket with the new stadium coming...

Not only that, they scrapped a "seniority" method on first dibs. They give the season ticket holders who have the pricier seats preference. People who have had season tickets in Buffalo since the 60s are understandably upset.

And recently the NFL Commish Office Staff were seen celebrating all this. ?

Absolutely a dome
Absolutely get it off of the lake (and Bourke while you're at it)
I wish we'd build the stadium near where they're building the new Cleveland Clinic / Cavs training and health center.

Down in the Flats?
I couldn't even imagine how they would shoehorn a 65,000+ seat dome down there, unless there's an area I'm not thinking of?

It'll be built at the old Ford Plant site in Brookpark, right next to the Airport. They already purchased the land.

I didn't realize that the purchase was finalized. It's not a bad thing that the Browns owner has more ties to the area.

No, not the flats. Just south of downtown. Below rocker mortgage and progressive

Oh, where allegedly the Browns were offered a spot during the Gateway time period.
There still was talk of a stadium going there, where the huge post office building is.

I'd like it to still be "downtown" just not on the lake
But, if it is going in the burbz, there are probably some properties over there worth snatching up and sitting on

Apparently Art did the same thing prior to attempt to negotiate with the city of Cleveland...

The only logical answer is to go dome in Brookpark.
There are sentimental reasons to stay downtown, but sentimental reason usually makes for poor business decisions. There are multiple reasons why the move should be made over staying put and going with the band-aide approach.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn. -

I thought of that property, but there are still ingress and egress issues. It also doesn't have enough room to do some of the things Haslam wants.

They should be looking at the property where the old army barracks are near Bratenahl over by MLK and the freeway... Haslam is an idiot! There is a lot of acerage there for development... They could put hotels.. A convention center and a new stadium there... These numb fucks are dropping the ball hard!

He's talking about just south of Progressive Field, south of the highway, right?
I mean, if it works going north a block or so to see a Guardians game, why wouldn't it work going a block or so south to see a Browns game?

A year or so ago when this whole stadium talk started, the Haslams came up with a report that mentioned:
1. Cleveland Browns Stadium is a mediocre stadium that was built quickly and kind of poorly
2. A stadium on the lake takes a pounding from Mother Nature, hence is a maintenance nightmare.
Regardless of the flip-flopping they have had on this topic, and at times seem fine with just renovating the existing stadium, I've never thought they really want this. In fact, I think it would be their absolute last resort.
I just can't see where the money is coming from to build a 2+ billion dollar dome.
I'd much rather see them stay downtown, but off the lakefront. I wonder how many acres the Wolstein Arena sits on... Cleveland State has been talking about bulldozing it and building a much smaller arena a few blocks north. Perhaps the Browns could look at putting a stadium there?

There's a big chunk of land available in northern Summit County near Richfield. But I believe that's been tried before.

Honestly, I think that spot would work better for the Browns than the Cavs because you are only going 8 or 9 times a year.
Then again, how was getting in/out of the Coliseum? There would be three times as many people going to Browns games.
