CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – The Cleveland Browns are moving to Brook Park, 19 News has confirmed.

While the team’s lease on Huntington Bank Field expires in 2028, the Browns will build a state-of-the-art facility in Brook Park.

The city of Cleveland has not yet commented on the news. Officials will hold a news conference on Oct. 17 at 2:30 p.m.

Earlier this year, the Cleveland Browns shared their vision for Brook Park.

Construction of the new stadium, including a dome, is estimated to cost at least $2 billion.

From a sporting perspective, there are two things to consider: one on the field and one off the field. When it comes to the field, this will likely eliminate bad weather to the point where it will have a major impact on a match.

That will upset some fans, but 19 News’ Mark Schwab thinks that’s downright overrated these days.

A few years ago, the New Orleans Saints came into town on a day when the wind was about 40 degrees below zero. It was a team from the south that is used to playing indoors. But they beat the Browns.

If it is a retractable roof, you can still have it open on nice days and feel outside. When it’s closed, it creates a home field advantage because it’s just louder.

Mark said the loudest game he’s ever been to was in Houston on a day when the roof was closed.

“It was incredibly loud. That can only help the Browns,” he said.

Not many people on the team have said much about this.
