The Cleveland Browns are reportedly asking taxpayers to pay for half of a proposed $2.4 billion domed stadium or $1 billion worth of renovations to the franchise's current stadium.

Jeremy Pelzer of Cleveland.com reported there is no agreement in place for either proposal. Cleveland Browns Stadium opened in 1999 and underwent major renovations in 2014 and 2015.

The City of Cleveland owns the stadium, which was built in response to the Browns leaving for Baltimore in 1996.
