With the Cleveland Browns set to renovate their stadium in the near future, Ohio Stadium could reportedly host the NFL team for multiple seasons as the franchise alters its venue.
"The Haslams seek to rebuild Cleveland Browns Stadium so thoroughly that a source said, 'It won’t look anything like it does now.' The city-owned stadium will reportedly be rebuilt on their existing lease with the city rather than wait until after that 30-year lease expires following the 2028 football season," NEOtrans' Ken Prendergast wrote.
"The Haslams already have a presence there with their Columbus Crew Major League Soccer club. Its venue, the two-year-old, soccer-specific Lower.com Field, seats only 20,371," Prendergast wrote."When the Browns played their first Orange & Brown Scrimmage on Aug. 7, 2015, they played to 49,734 fans at The Ohio State University’s 102,734-seat Ohio Stadium. It was the highest attendance for any Browns open practice or Family Day since at least 2005.
The Browns would have a fortified stadium that could potentially host the largest crowds in NFL history, packing more than 100,000 fans into the Shoe on a Sunday. As for the Ohio State side of the coin, Ohio Stadium would require winterization to host Cleveland's games in December and January, which was a potential issue if the Buckeyes were to host College Football Playoff games in the future. This agreement could theoretically leave the Browns footing the bill.
