The 2024 NFL Draft is in the books and the Cleveland Browns will now turn their attention to incorporating this year’s rookie class and continuing the offseason program for the veterans.
While the players and coaches get to work on preparing for the regular season, owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam continue to work on plans for where the team will be playing when its current lease at Cleveland Browns Stadium expires in 2028.
So far, the Haslams have:
- Kicked around the idea of buying 176 acres of land in the Cleveland suburb of Brook Park as a potential site for a domed stadium
- Reportedly pitched Cleveland City Council on a renovation plan for the current stadium that would need $500 million in public funding
- Seen Cleveland City Councilman Brian Kazy introduce legislation requiring the team to follow the state’s so-called Modell Law
- Stated they are open to either renovating the current stadium or building a dome, depending on which option makes the most sense
The latest move by team officials was to meet with a bipartisan group of state lawmakers last week to show off their proposal for a domed stadium in Brook Park, according to Signal Cleveland.
