Cleveland Browns Break Ground on New $2.4 Billion Domed Stadium
The $2.7 billion domed stadium is expected to open in 2029 and could bring jobs and new business to Brook Park, supporters say.
- On Thursday, Cleveland Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam officially broke ground on a $2.7 billion domed stadium in Brook Park, attended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Ohio Governor Mike DeWine.
- The Haslam Sports Group will cover $1.8 billion of the project cost to relocate from the downtown lakefront, with the remaining $845 million coming from the state of Ohio and Brook Park combined.
- To comply with Federal Aviation Administration regulations, the 67,500-seat facility will be built 80 feet into the ground near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, designed by architecture firm HKS.
- Legal challenges persist as a Franklin County magistrate blocked the use of $600 million in state unclaimed funds, while a class-action lawsuit filed by the Dann Law Firm remains pending.
- More than 5,000 permanent jobs are expected from the development, though NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell noted the region currently lacks hotel infrastructure needed to host a Super Bowl.
