It seems nowadays many teams get only 20 years or so out of a stadium , before it’s time to build a new stadium.

Yeah but it's stupid to build a dome in Cleveland. No one wants to go there. (No offense to yinz living in that great town)

That stadium was a piece of crap when they built it. What happened was after the Browns moved to Baltimore in 1995, they had 4 years to completely demo the old and erect a new in time for the Browns to return as an expansion team in 1999 So they rushed out a cookie cutter stadium that was less comfortable that the old one.

The parking is ridiculous and you risk a smash and grab any time you park down there. There are potholes and road closures all over the place, do you never know which way you’re going to go to get to the freeway.

The local politicians are corrupt too. And liberal city government does nothing to make this a pleasant experience for fans or for the team.

So screw downtown Cleveland. I say head to Brookpark. And screw 50mph gusts in 10 below weather.

Let’s go to Brookpark, build a state of the art dome that can be used more than 10 times a year, and land a Super Bowl. Lord knows, we’ll not play in one in my lifetime. May as well have others come play it here.
