The Browns have secured a new stadium site valued at up to $20,000,000,000 Billion. When they…

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Browns have always held their home games along the shores of Lake Erie, with the exception of a few years after they relocated to Baltimore.

This might alter in the future.

The Browns, who were awarded an expansion franchise by the NFL, have been in discussions to renovate their lakefront stadium, which opened in 1999.

Major upgrades are required for the stadium, which holds over 60,000 spectators. The owners, Dee and Jimmy Haslam, have indicated interest in redeveloping the region surrounding the existing building.

Although the Browns, who have played on roughly the same piece of ground since their establishment in 1946, have not announced any plans to move from their downtown home, they have been considering their possibilities.

Following a report by sports blog NEOtrans that the Browns are closing on a deal to purchase land close to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, which is only a few miles from the team’s headquarters in Berea, Ohio, the team issued a statement on Thursday.

“We’ve been clear on how complex future stadium planning can be,” a statement from the Browns/Haslam Sports Group was released on Thursday. “One thing is for sure: we’re going to do everything in our power to make the fan experience even better while also making a positive, long-lasting difference for the whole Northeast Ohio region. We are carefully considering all of the options because we recognize the enormous potential that a stadium project holds to attract additional major events to our area.

The subject of any potential move is sensitive to Cleveland supporters. After the 1995 season, Art Modell took the team to Baltimore due to a disagreement with the city over financing for a new stadium.

The Haslam family has stated for a long time that they are dedicated to maintaining their football team in Northeast Ohio. They also own the MLS Columbus Crew and a small stake in the NBA Milwaukee Bucks.

The group conveyed gratitude for collaborating with officials including Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb.

The Browns stated, “We are also researching other possible stadium options in Northeast Ohio at various additional sites at the same time, as part of our comprehensive planning efforts.”

“We will provide more information when it is appropriate. Before a long-term stadium solution is decided, there is still a lot of work to be done and diligence to process.”

Another significant problem is access to Cleveland’s existing stadium. Both a large-scale lakefront development project and the construction of a prospective pedestrian bridge to connect to the nearby Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the lakefront have been postponed due to political wrangling and financial difficulties.

A loud group of Browns supporters has been advocating for the construction of a new dome-shaped stadium, citing its potential to draw large events like the Super Bowl, Final Fours, and major concerts to the city.
