The question of whether the Browns could be building a new stadium has been intensifying since Friday.
That’s when NEOtrans real-estate blogger Ken Prendergast reported the team is leaning towards building a new stadium, instead of renovating the current one.
According to the blog, the owners of the stadium aren’t happy with how it has aged and the cost of rebuilding and adding a roof is approaching the same cost of a new stadium. Browns Senior Vice President Peter John-Baptiste issued a statement regarding the potential of a new stadium: As we have consistently communicated, along with the City of Cleveland, the Greater Cleveland Partnership and other prominent local organizations, we have been immersed in discussing ways to best approach the lakefront’s future and the stadium naturally is a critical piece to the long-term execution of such a project. Contrary to recent speculation, a recent feasibility study we launched does not contemplate a new stadium or showcase new stadium sites.
“Leave it right where it is,” said Bolling. “It’s a beautiful spot. It’s on the lake. You can watch the game and be on the lake. It’s a little chilly but if you’re from Cleveland, you gotta be used to it.”While he admits the 23-year-old stadium needs work, including a roof, he’s not convinced starting from scratch is the answer.Copyright 2022 WOIO.
