Browns to Brook Park option pitched to Columbus lawmakers

Members of the Cleveland Browns were in Columbus late last Wednesday making a pitch to a legislation delegation for building a new stadium in Brook Park.

Rep. Bride Rose Sweeney attended that meeting where both renovating the current downtown stadium, and a new dome in Brook Park were discussed.

Owners of the Cleveland Browns, Jimmy and Dee Haslam were not in attendance according to Sweeney’s office.

Governor Mike DeWine’s office also confirmed the meeting took place, but DeWine was not a part of the conversation.

Either way, renovations or building new, will need financial support from the state level to happen.

Whether the Browns pitching both projects is a chess move in negotiations with Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb remains to be seen.
