"We have no further updates at this time." “Talks between the city and Browns organization continue," city of Cleveland Press Secretary Marie Zickefoose says. Several other teams play within the city limits of their metro area's "mother city" but not downtown, such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Philadelphia Eagles and Green Bay Packers. That number is expected to grow soon to 13 when the Chicago Bears move from downtown to Arlington Heights. The source said it would be a black eye for Cleveland, even though 12 of 32 National Football League teams already play their home games in suburban municipalities.
"Considering how few city of Cleveland residents attend Browns games, letting the Browns go to the suburbs might actually improve Bibb's re-election chances."īut the Browns source countered that losing the team again would be an emotional issue for Cleveland residents and a loss of prestige for the city, regardless of any positive fiscal impact on the city. "The city could instead spend money on fighting crime and improving services and infrastructure," says the insider.

A real estate insider who may become involved in a Browns move to the suburbs wondered what would be the loss to the city if the team built a stadium in the suburbs for 10 home games a year plus other major events like concerts, conventions or visiting college sporting events. A recent Scene Magazine article noted that only 15% of Browns game attendees reside in the city of Cleveland and only 31% live in Cuyahoga County. The city of Cleveland is under pressure by constituents to invest more in public safety, infrastructure, housing and other neighborhood quality-of-life issues and to share the cost burden of a rebuilt Browns stadium with more of Northeast Ohio's political jurisdictions. Former Browns owner Art Modell took the city's football franchise to Baltimore after the 1995 season but the Browns' name, colors and history remained here. The city source noted that Mayor Justin Bibb's Administration does not want to see the Browns leave the city again, even if it is to the suburbs, at the end of their 30-year lease with the city after the 2028 football season. They both acknowledge the city is offering no direct financial assistance to make major renovations to the city-owned stadium Two sources, one a city of Cleveland source and the other a Cleveland Browns source, acknowledge that the clock is ticking down to a deadline that the Browns source termed as "a matter of months, certainly less than a year" for working out a deal that will keep the Browns in the city rather than turning to the suburbs for a new football stadium location.
