Browns New stadium talk

[madmadworld]

Yep it costs to have nice things

 

[OconRecon]

I guess the SoFi owner paid for the whole thing. No idea how much SoFi chucked in.
BUT, that's in LA, with two teams, etc etc.

 

[madmadworld]

There needs to be a fee on the tickets to all events that help pay off the mortgage too.

 

[jaydog]

How about a pro rated fee so Loge people pay twice as much as my freezing ass in the corner somewhere.
A simple 2% on the price of each tcket/seat/seat for each loge.

Rams owner net worth is close to 16B. Add in his wife who is part of the Walmart Walton family.

So...
Tell me when any NFL owner paid taxes close to $10,000.00 per year?
I'm done paying taxes. Especially when it only benefits the rich and not me!!

I can assure you they pay hundreds of thousands every year. these guys make millions a year. it might be only 15 to 20% but it's still a ton of money.

Careful there Festus might go all scallywag!

 

[OconRecon]

These things just keep getting more and more wild, and cool ...

 

[jaydog]

That's a bit over the top for me.

Just a nice, modern, cutting edge, retractable dome in Brook Park on 100 acres to provide plenty of parking and some sort of plaza or stores and restaurants. Including making it very much Browns/Cleveland centric. Like a Paul Brown statue, eh?

 

[OconRecon]

Yeah, keep reading retractable is an absolute no-go

 

[jaydog]

I wonder why? It's the only way to get a SB to be played in Cleveland unless it's a dome.

It just doesn't scream "CLEVELAND!!!"

 

[jaydog]

I'd really like an open air stadium, but any owner would want their stadium to be able to have conventions, concerts and shows going on in their building all the time. Even in inclement weather. A retractable dome allows for all that and football played outdoors like it should.

 

[hammertime]

Haslams can pay for the entire thing.
So many other things need addressed before we funnel money into a 2 billion dollar project.

 

[madmadworld]

That's how we got the Ravens

 

[hammertime]

I’m the old man get off my lawn guy lol.
I really don’t care about rich people’s problems.

 

[jaydog]

I heard Haslam said there are far more parking spots next to the stadium if built in Brook Park. Also, he could buy properties along the east side of Engle Rd. The Ford Union hall might be included in the deal to start at the corner of Hummel Rd. and Engle and after that there's roughly 5 properties that backup to I71. That would be an outstanding area for shops and restaurants, more parking or an exit ramp directly to the new indoor stadium.

It looks like an indoor stadium is what he wants for year round activities and shows. I'd prefer a retractable roof with a grass field first and foremost.

So many more options.
