A two to three year time frame is realistic. I scanned over the information as it has been released to date. My thoughts? If the information is true and the Haslams/City of Cleveland/Cuyahoga County commit all those resources (manpower, materials, and dollars) and don't even consider a dome - they are all fools. This is 2023 - not 1923. The technology is here to make it happen - either with a turf field or an indoor grass field. A domed facility opens up so many more revenue streams. The original link didnt work for me but thanks for the update. My original thought was why do they need to move unless they were building on the exact same site. I thought we heard for years how the wanted to move the Browns stadium to a different location, what changed? As far as moving to Columbus--The Haslems have been trying to tap into that market since they bought the team and given that Columbus has a 100k person capacity football stadium it makes sense. It also make sense to play at the HOF stadium since its only 35 mins away and not 2 hours--but I dont know if Canton has the capacity to deal with that on a routine basis. How many more revenue streams does a dome actually open up? Honest question. The 1x per 3 years Taylor Swift goes on tour? The 1x per 4 years Cleveland gets to host a USMNT game? Im just saying, in the past 5 years Cleveland has hosted the Final Four, NFL draft, NBA All Star Game and MLB All Star game....all without a domed stadium. What exactly are all of these hosting opportunities we are missing out on that would be happening monthly with a domed 70k person stadium. I just dont remember a lot of times Cleveland got passed up on hosting a event because 'aw shucks they dont have a domed 70k person stadium' Edited April 18, 2023 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dome should be the starting point of all discussions. No one wants to sit outside in 30 degree weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially considering we've built a finesse team and speedy team, so that should probably be utilized from this point forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only were the Browns eliminated by then, but we proceeded to look at the weather, and I realized quickly that our romantic getaway, aside from being completely ruined by the Browns, would further be ruined by the awful weather, was immediately a hard no...FROM ME, not even her. Now, had that game been in a dome at 70 degrees, maybe she talks me into it. And I used to be a "LET THEM PLAY IN THE WIND/RAIN/SNOW!!!!!!" apologist. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already put my foot down on not doing Disney ever for crowds and corporations factor, so I can’t have crowds at an outdoor browns game used against me for the foreseeable future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamq Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 (edited) I have paid almost zero attention to this whole debacle, but this guy makes ya think. Too much speculation on both sides but I am leaning towards slander campaign based on that document, but I'm at work and also don't care all that much to look any further 🤷♂️ Edited April 24, 2023 by adamq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TypicalBrowns10 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 How fitting that the normal crew has been literally been wrong about the draft and has been nothing but toxic about the cavs. @FGK Im gonna need some answers directly from you because they are veterans here and their stupid *** opinions are valued more than anyone else.

Kiwibrown Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Not that it makes a whole lot of difference but the run on ends and dts didn't help. I hope there is still some depth by the 3rd round. I hope teams start drafting safeties and rbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazi Smith was my only “maybe,” but I wasn’t even that interested in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
