Haslam Sports Group to Pay City of Cleveland $100M as Part of Settlement Paving Way for Browns' New Brook Park Stadium

The $100 million payment plan will fund demolition and redevelopment after the 2028 season, ending legal disputes tied to the Browns' relocation plans.

  • On Monday, Mayor Justin M. Bibb and Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam announced a $100 million settlement that ends months of legal wrangling and clears the way for a Brook Park stadium.
  • The city of Cleveland sued in January to enforce the Modell Law, while the Cleveland Browns filed a federal suit and the state of Ohio revised the law earlier this year.
  • By December 1, 2025, Haslam Sports Group will pay $25 million and raze Huntington Bank Field to a pad-ready state, with additional payments starting January 1, 2029 for redevelopment and community projects.
  • Both sides agreed to dismiss all lawsuits with prejudice, ending the three cases; Huntington Bank Field will be demolished after 2028, with Cleveland City Council approval pending.
  • The agreement enables a $2.4 billion covered stadium in Brook Park, with site work on 176 acres near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, and ODOT waived the 150-foot height limit.
