CLEVELAND -- The Browns' proposal to leave the lakefront and play in a new domed stadium in Cleveland's suburbs has hit a major snag.
In a letter sent to team owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam, Cuyahoga County officials said Sunday they're backing a proposed $1.2 billion renovation of the team's current stadium and are committed to keeping the NFL franchise in downtown Cleveland "for generations to come."
Earlier this week, the team unveiled renderings for a $2.4 billion state-of-the-art stadium and entertainment complex to be built in Brook Park, Ohio -- about 15 miles south of Cleveland.
