BEREA, Ohio – Browns ownership on Thursday presented its most detailed vision yet for funding a $2.4 billion dome stadium in Brook Park, relying in part taxing stadium users — while insisting it won’t draw from existing city, county or state tax revenues.

While the Haslams will contribute $1.2 billion, $600 million would come from the state of Ohio, $422 million from Brook Park, and $178 million from Cuyahoga County.

The Haslams are seeking $600M from the state, and $600M from local governments to “match their commitment” of $1.2B on the 65,000-seat stadium.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced his plan to fund Ohio sports stadiums ahead of his budget bill. It could promise the funding Cleveland Browns’ owner Jimmy Haslam has desperately searched for. Gove

The plan from the Browns' owners includes a $1.2 billion contribution from the public, which private funders would match. Private funding would also cover any overruns.

Executives from Haslam Sports Group, including owner Jimmy Haslam, sat down with reporters Thursday afternoon to walk through their proposal. The off-camera meeting came as the Browns are trying to win enough government support to make their vision for a mixed-use stadium district a reality – with hopes of starting construction in early 2026.
