Sofi is literally the dumbest comparison. That’s in LA, by LAX, the return on investment probably was made the second the Olympics was scheduled to be there. They also have two football teams sharing it
Completely different financial backings and GameDay experiences. SoFi is 100k seats with about 2/3 away fans because not enough Angelinos care about football to go to games, even for 2 teams (until the week Raiders come to town). SoFi has a manmade lake some man just died in, again. Browns un-branded (at least for now) Stadium has what, under 50k seats but sells out in all orange almost every time. We got a frozen, real lake for our proud drunken maniac muni-lotters to jump in cuz they wanna and survive lol
So lets see now, a 25 year old stadium is considered 'old and run down'. I guess we got ripped off when we paid for that one with our tax money. Unbelievable, Cleveland is one of the poorest cities in the country and now the thieves that own the Browns want us to pay for a stadium that is used 10 times a year. What a joke, I will never support taxes going towards this.
You'll never get chance to vote on anything. Your county council will pass a sin tax or bag tax or sales tax or all three. 😆 🤣 Except the sin tax not as lucrative since only divorced dads & bikers still smoke. l😆
Am I the only person who actually remembers the old Stadium. Because compared to that the current stadium is still a palace it still looks 100 times better than the old stadium.
Ya the idea of building touristy stuff to make people go to the lakefront is a dumb idea. Make it a place that locals would go to and then you’ll build it up
Use public tax dollars to invest in police, EMS, schools and updating infrastructure with an eye on attracting good paying jobs. Let private investors pay for entertainment complexes.
An nfl team is a license to print money. They could move the team if they do not get a free stadium. Billionaires are waiting in line to buy a nfl team.
So just build a roof over top with a new perimeter structure and new coat of paint and upgrade electric and plumbing and let’s frggin’ GO TO THE SUPER BOWL. STAY DOWNTOWN!
Thank You D and Jimmy, let us pray that Art Model wont go with us, cause he is NEVER going to be Brown..Hes a bmore bird, NOT A LOYAL DAWG!..BLESSINGS D AND JIMMY❤🎉✊🏾✌🏾🙏🏽!..
I say that the city should approach it like any business venture. Look at the return on investment, and if the return is greater than the investment in comparison to other ways they could invest said funds then its a go, otherwise go to the alternative investment. That said, there are other non-tangible benefits of having an NFL team. The city just has to measure that against the tangible investment dollars. A 2015 article in Sports Destination Mag indicated that baseball and basketball bring more tangible benefits to a city because of the far greater number of home games played. Maybe the city should increase support for the Cavs & Guards and just let Jimmie & Dee move to BP (but no further!).
Art Modell in the day was scouting around for suburban places to build a new stadium.... in place of South Park Mall, we could've ended up with the Strongsville Browns!!!
We Have to MOVE..WE MUST ART MODEL FROM ABOVE US...WHEN WE MOVE WE LEAVE HIM BEHIND AND WE MO E FORWARD WITH OWNERS THAT WHAT THE BROWNS TO WIN!. D and J 🎉❤!

@@rickwaller9421Under 50,000? Capacity is over 67,000. SoFi stadium is just over 70,000.

Thieves blame the local government for building that stadium too fast bot

Public funds going to privately owned sports teams is almost never a good investment for the taxpayer. Glad to see cities waking up to this reality.
Idk they didn’t seem to mind building a stadium after art modell moved the team.

Yeah but I loved municipal stadium. Full of fans on Sunday the place rocked ❤
They can build wherever they want to as long as they don't use my tax money
Hopefully when the Browns move to their new stadium…they can win their first Super Bowl in team history!
Never ever gonna happen
The city should tear down the stadium and develop the lakefront

Still the factory of sadness. Still haven’t won anything , put a better team on the field first
Great segment. My fan vote leans towards history and keeping the Browns Downtown.
No tax money, theses guys have enough to build and pay for it themselves
Not one dime of tax payer money
Please, no dome.
Since they named the airport after the kicker, it only makes sense to move the stadium next to the airport.
Hopkins Stadium
2 BILLION for a team that hasn’t won ANYTHING since 1964!! They’re welcome to spend their own money
There is nothing wrong with current stadium. Let Haslam pay for it himself.
An nfl team is a license to print money. They could move the team if they do not get a free stadium. Billionaires are waiting in line to buy a nfl team.
Stadium is old ? Opened in 1999
Haslams bought land in brookpark for a new 750 million jail…
So just build a roof over top with a new perimeter structure and new coat of paint and upgrade electric and plumbing and let’s frggin’ GO TO THE SUPER BOWL. STAY DOWNTOWN!
Better start encouraging kids to smoke and drink to pay for it. Along with 'the Arts' and 4th Avenue.
Move Burke to Brookpark and build a dome where Burke is

Theres is zero percent chance he does this without at least 1 bill public funds
Love your coverage Mike! I already helped pay for the current stadium through taxes and the PSLs we bought

Nah it’s still going to be the Cleveland Browns because Brooke Park is still apart of Cleveland Ohio
That was never in question.
@@perry_carrey8327 I know but he was calling them the Brook Park Browns
@@SergioParker-p9y because he's a comedian...
Let's at least double up if we're gonna change their name, Brookpark Indians, anyone?
