— The Cleveland Browns have announced a transformative new chapter in the franchise’s history with the unveiling of a multi-billion dollar stadium project that promises to reshape the city’s sports and entertainment landscape.
In a press conference held this morning at Browns Headquarters, team executives revealed plans for a state-of-the-art, domed stadium set to rise on the shores of Lake Erie. The estimated $2.4 billion project will include a retractable roof, advanced fan engagement technologies, luxury suites, green infrastructure, and year-round event capabilities.
“This is more than just a stadium — it’s a commitment to the future of Cleveland,” said Dee Haslam, co-owner of the Browns. “Our goal is to create a world-class venue that energizes our community, drives economic growth, and delivers unforgettable experiences.”
The new stadium is expected to break ground in early 2026, with a targeted completion date in time for the 2029 NFL season. In addition to Browns games, the facility will host concerts, conventions, college football matchups, and other major events, aiming to make Cleveland a premier Midwest destination.
City officials expressed strong support for the development, citing an anticipated economic impact of over $8 billion over the next two decades and the creation of thousands of construction and hospitality jobs.
While funding details are still being finalized, a public-private partnership is expected to cover the cost, combining team investment, private capital, and potential public support through bonds or tax incentives.
As anticipation builds, fans and civic leaders alike are hailing the project as a bold leap forward — not just for football, but for the future of Cleveland.
