CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Browns announced plans for a proposed $2.4 billion domed stadium in Brook Park, the team announced Wednesday.

The team said in a post on X that significant work still remains. The team also revealed an open letter to fans.

In that open letter, signed by Dave Jenkins with the Haslam Sports Group, they said the more they've looked at the Brook Park option for the stadium, the more attractive it's become. They said they have considered other locations for the stadium as well, and they are unable to put a dome on the current stadium "because of economic constraints and FAA restrictions."

They say the Brook Park location is the "most compelling option for a dome."

The letter goes on to say that they understand moving the stadium could affect downtown. However, they say they believe the presence of a stadium with a dome that allows for all-year activities would help downtown's economy, "particularly when coupled with the possibilities of a reimagined lakefront absent the stadium."

Cleveland mayor Justin Bibb recently sent a letter to the Haslam Sports Group addressing Jimmy and Dee Haslam, owners of the Cleveland Browns.

“We are unified in our belief that transforming the current facility is unquestionably in the best interests of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County," Bibb said in his letter. "We do not believe any public financial support should responsibly be made available for development of a stadium outside of the City of Cleveland.”

Bibb said the city was committed to a competitive lease arrangement on Lake Erie for the next 30 years. In the letter, Bibb said the deal would provide a "dramatically upgraded facility that will serve both the Browns and Greater Cleveland for decades." According to his letter, the package does not tap into team revenue sources and protects the city's budget.

The Browns note that they are still working with officials in Cleveland.
