    @MaryKayCabot: #Browns fan asking a question of Haslam, Banner: "Thank you. You actually have a team that you don't have to get drunk to watch.''

    Very nice, haha.

        What does this mean.....

        "Currently, we have the lowest percentage of seating in the lower bowl than any stadium in the country," Banner said. ". . . Some of the upper-bowl seats will become lower-bowl seats."

          They will charge you more money for the same seat? Also it looks like they are adding a lot more add space....

            Seating will go down to just over 68,000.

              Anyone else a little annoyed at the added fans in the pictures showing the future renovations? It made it a lot harder to actually see the changes to the lower sections rather than saying "oh, hey, this new picture looks pretty".

                It means they're going to take about 10-15 rows of upper bowl, strategically demolish them, and add them to the lower bowl. It's not a tough job, if it's done right.

                It's similar to what Oakland does on a regular basis, but much more permanent.

                  What I see, primarily, is that they are taking away those 3000 seats in order to construct more billboard space for advertisements in their place. Perhaps, yes, the scoreboard will be enlarged.....but the ad space will be increased by a far greater degree.

                  I mean, this is just a fucking Peggy Lee announcement: "Is that all there is"?

                    There's no perhaps. Each endzone scoreboard will be tripled in sized, plus the addition of new LED video boards and video strips.

                    The renderings and comparisons are pretty neat. It makes you realize just how antiquated our 15 year old stadium actually is.

                      It was made cheap to begin with. It was always a bare bones stadium. I do admire Haslam improving on it.

                            If they triple the size of the video scoreboard so that replays, highlights etc. can be seen much better, then I guess it is a fair trade if they also use those boards to show ads during down times......and, hopefully.....it is that ad revenue that pays for the improvements. And not the ticket buyers/taxpayers.

                              Unfortunately, it's going to come out of the taxpayers and ticket holders pockets up front. I would expect a fair price hike for the foreseeable future.

                              I'd be willing to pay an extra 20 dollars per game if it meant we'd have a contending team and a nice stadium. I think that's a fair trade.

                                The stadium isn't going to change that much.....I mean, your seat is not going to be wider, longer, softer. The vid vid video might improve.

                                Let's put it this way.....it still can't match my sofa and fridge.

                                And Sherrod Brown is probably going to push a bill that since so much taxpayer money is being used for these private businesses, then the blackout rules are going to have to be eliminated, and that all games must be broadcast regardless of the sellout status.

                                      Just making fun of the fact that he always looks like he stepped out of a tanning booth. Jimmy is still living the good life, and I am good with that.

                                          What I see, primarily, is that they are taking away those 3000 seats in order to construct more billboard space for advertisements in their place. Perhaps, yes, the scoreboard will be enlarged.....but the ad space will be increased by a far greater degree.

                                          I mean, this is just a fucking Peggy Lee announcement: "Is that all there is"?

                                          There's no perhaps. Each endzone scoreboard will be tripled in sized, plus the addition of new LED video boards and video strips.

                                          The renderings and comparisons are pretty neat. It makes you realize just how antiquated our 15 year old stadium actually is.
