hornbybrown Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Title says it all. I’m curious as to how long it’s thought it will be a NFL standard stadium and what’s the plan after it goes past it’s shelf life. Jimmy can’t afford to pay for a new stadium himself with a net worth of 2.8 billion. So will the city front up and build a new stadium or at least contribute a large part of it?

NateDawg Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Would be a shame if the need for a new stadium prompted new ownership. Wishful thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdrawkcab321 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I remember hearing something about it like 2 years ago that we had 10 years left on it. And that jimmy was interested in adding a retractible roof so he could hold year long events in it. I have no idea where I heard this though. Maybe an interview on the radio. But the city would absolutely have to pay for it. That’s just how it goes in stadium building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the stadium was built without one in the first place is beyond me. It’s not more enjoyable to sit outside on a 30 something degree day with wind whipping in off the lake. It’s just not. Even more importantly though is it does allow for the possibility of year round use by the city for revenue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 (edited) The newest Browns stadium will have a retractable roof. Other than the California and NYC stadiums, I think every new stadium has one. Edited May 10, 2020 by candyman93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the stadium was rushed to be built. So it was ready for the 1999 season. It was a very bare bones stadium when it was built. Thought I read articles that Said the stadium would not have been finished in time if it had a roof. The cost of the stadium in today’s term would be less than $500m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But IIRC jimmy had people in the stadium when he bought the team checking out that possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t remember if was built with that in mind but I believe jimmy did have people come in inspect it to see if a roof could be added to it and see if it be feasible. I would just want a new stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hornbybrown Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 What happens in 2029 if there is no renovations or new stadium? Will the stadium be able to be used past that date if both parties agree but also what state will it be in by then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they said they wanted to have things figured out by 2025 if they want to build a new stadium or do a bunch of upgrades Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Could the Cleveland tax payer afford to pend 2 billion on a stadium? This isnt dallas or LA'we are talking about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
