The city of Cleveland has filed a lawsuit against the Browns over the team's proposed move to a new stadium in the Brook Park suburb.
In the lawsuit filed in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court (h/t Michelle Jarboe of Cleveland.com), lawyers for the city are seeking to invoke the "Modell law" that states a sports team owner that uses a tax-supported facility for home games and receives funding from the state or a political subdivision can't move unless it gives a notice of at least six months or receives permission from local government officials to do so.
