  • Like I said, Haslam is a mover and shaker.  He isn't going to sit around while the Cleveland City farts around talking band-aids.

    When you want a new suit, you don't head over to Walmart.

    Mover and shaker, scam artist, six to one, half a dozen to another.

    I'm glad the mayor of Cleveland isn't bending over for Haslam. Let him build his dome, which I can guarantee will be a somewhat mediocre, non-descript version of what other cities will do. A building in a generation will be outdated, and people will find driving out to Brookpark to a sea of parking lots and not much else to be boring, and the team will desert it and move back to Cleveland proper.

    A dome in downtown Cleveland isn't happening.

    The Haslams want the to be in Brookpark because they can buy a ton of land there. There is nowhere in the city limits of Cleveland like this. 

    Despite what they've said over the years, how they are fine with a spruced up Cleveland Browns Stadium, what they are talking in Brookpark is what they want. What they are trying to do is get Cleveland to offer a sweetheart deal so Brookpark has to do better.

    Cleveland knows this, sees this, and seems to be: "Nah... good luck!"

  • I can't wait to see how this all plays out.    .... for real,  it should be quite  "INTERESTING"  to say the least.  

    It almost seems too incredible  ..... for Cleveland !       I know that we   .... "little cogs in the big wheel"   .... will just sit back and  WATCH  what happens  .....   NEXT !      It should be fun.    🙂 

          - GO BROWNS ! -

    Yes, I do. And the work being done now will allow #Browns to begin digging the 80-90 feet deep pit for the dome quickly should the project come together in the next 8-12 months paving the way for a 3+ year construction timetable and 2029 opening
  • A look at the potential Brook Park dome site. Current property owner has done a great job clearing and remediating the 176 acres to prep it for development by #Browns or another project

    Ah, buy cheap homes and get a sweet offer for the property later when they want parking space?

    Yep. Destroying the neighborhood but making a buck. 

    Heartless real estate shit

    As a landlord, I’ll tell you it ain’t happening.

    Rental properties are in high demand in Cuyahoga County.

    Ive been getting 5-6 calls a week for the past 5 years from investors wanting to but my rentals.

    Renting is the wave of the future.  Young people can't afford homes at this point and us older folks don't want to deal with maintenance anymore.

    My wife and I had a 4000 sq home on Lake Chickamauga.  It was great and lived there for 35 years.  The kids grew up and didn't need the space or hassles of home ownership.

    We moved in to a 2 bedroom 1300 sq apartment and are totally happy in the 3+ years we have lived here.  We also have an apartment in Venice, Fla of similar size, so we can mix our time between the two.

    A few months here, a few months there....it works

    It would be awesome to close Burke and finally come up with a use for all that prime land on the lakefront, but closing an airport is a tedious venture from what I've read. It takes years.

    It seems to me that that would be the option that would keep the most people / fans happy.  Plenty of room for shops, restaurants, etc., etc.  Just make sure that parking is available or some may be turned off that Browns Town is in the city.

    Burke isn't that far from Browns Stadium. Most of the parking used now would be fine if the stadium was at Burke.
