Yep, raise ticket prices and ask for tax dollars so you can build a new playpen. If you can pay a shitty QB a guaranteed $230 million then you don't need public funds. Great PR there Jimmy, especially with the season we're having.

NO franchise should EVER get tax assisted funding for a stadium EVER. Every owners franchise (especially in the NFL) has increased in value since they purchased it at minimum of 500%. If they can't pay for their own stadium, then sell the team. Public tax dollars that are needed elsewhere should never be used to build a stadium for millionaire and billionaire owners. PERIOD!!!

This has been a long time in the making, and I thought it was a ludicrous idea to even contemplate it, but I thought it was odd when a part owner of the Steelers organization ( our greatest rivalry) purchased this team, and since day one every single decision made by this man has led the team to the slow path of destruction. And having analyzed and studied talked about, and vented for years, I’ve come to the conclusion that it won’t get better until he relinquishes his control. Unfortunately we can’t fire the owner, but with the product the way it’s been, the generational gap in the fan base widening, I believe this move to a dome will officially be the end of the Cleveland browns, and I encourage everyone to stop giving him your money or support until he gets the message and the message is his bottom line.

That equates to 83 days (24 hour days) that I have wasted watching bad football that just leaves me in a bad mood. 83 days I could have been doing literally anything that would have been more productive.

Sorry....the Browns screwed the fans this year! Put a disgrace of a product on the field, which in the real world creates NO DEMAND! I personally will not be at this stadium.....or the new one until the product is worth buying. Right now....Im not buying this garbage on the field....and I won't be buying it until it's worth buying! 3-4 years from now? Cleveland fans are some of if not the best and most loyal in the NFL...but those same fans are losing faith, hope, and patience! As for the stadium.....Haslam can buy and pay for that thing himself.....he just threw 200 plus million dollars at an absolute waste of a person who they thought...was a quarterback. And....the Browns knew the fricking details about this loser...and they still threw all that money at someone who had not played in years! THAT WAS STUPID! No matter who was behind it! Maybe we need a new fricking owner who really cares about winning....like they have in Pittsburgh, Kansas City, Buffalo...etc. They have been given the benefit of the doubt all the way to now.....but this is like going back to the beginning. And Haslam has the nerve to ask the public to build a new house for this terrible prouduct that he wants us to support? THAT'S PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE! Never thought ever in my life...67 years old and a Browns fan my entire life....did I think that I would think what I think about them and their owner, who has a coaching staff that is obviously over paid, under qualified, and has no clue how to maintain a competitive team year in and out. It can be done...and many teams do it. But......NOT THE BROWNS. Maybe Haslam thinks if the House is NEW and better.....everybody will perform better? I wouldn't put it past him.....all previous decisions by him having to do with this team has been a colossal failure! And.....actually....quite stupid! He certainly has a business mind....but he stinks at football!
@smf15Күн бұрын
I don't believe Haslam has been behind every player/personnel decision, but every decision he has been involved with has had nothing to improving the team's chances at winning a championship and everything to do with trying to drum up support for the dome. Watson is a perfect example - let's bring in a guy from Georgia who played college at Clemson and spent his first 4 years in the NFL playing in a dome and give him $230M guaranteed. He'll thrive in warm weather/indoor games, but struggle when the temperature drops. So if we can shelter him from the elements, he and the offense we built around him will play so much better. Therefore we must build a $2.4 billion dome. Of course this hasn't turned out the way Jimmy intended, but we're still pushing forward with the plan. Hence the idea to tank the next 2-3 seasons, let Garrett move on (doesn't want to be a part of a rebuild but can already see the writing on the wall), and hope we can somehow put a successful product on the field by 2028 despite only 2 winning seasons since Jimmy bought the team 12 years ago.

The ticket prices will probably be more expensive then they "leaked" and that doesn't include the NEW PSL (private seat license) one time cost the first year since the current PSL license doesn't transfer to the new stadium. I've been driving up with family on a 4 hour round road trip since 1999 to watch every Browns home game, but this was the last year we were paying for the insane ticket prices. You can buy a quality 85 inch TV right now for $1,500 or less. Much better investment.

Time to repeal the sports broadcasting act of 1961. This allows professional sports to have monopolies. If it's repealed, NFL teams would be required to spin off assets.

The problem with that is two fold with the Browns: the structure of the current stadium is falling apart; the concrete is rotting from the inside out because of how it was built. And there's no college stadium in the Cleveland area that can handle a Browns game -- Kent and Akron aren't large enough and the HOF stadium is small in capacity.
@anti-validation21 сағат бұрын
@LoneWolfSparty If you repeal the sports broadcasting act, there will be no more need for billion dollar stadiums. NFL teams can partner with the largest local universities. College teams play on Saturday. NFL teams play on Sunday. Toledo, Dayton, and Columbus would likely all have new franchises. Two thirds of Browns fans now have local NFL teams. Stadiums only need large capacity for playoff games. Michigan, Ohio State, and Penn State all have almost double the capacity of the largest NFL stadiums. Building costly NFL stadiums with 70 year payback periods are a complete waste of money.

If they don't put a super bowl winner out there on that field. With those crazy prices for a ticket. Nobody going to go out and pay for those tickets. But the really rich or well to do. But even then if you get stefansky and Barry doing the same crap. Which I knew this day was coming where they was going to have a sorry record. They lost their their bailout man. Nick Chubb and the offensive line coach Bill Callahan. As well as at least a decent quarterback and David. And now they have to really do some coaching and they can't and they can't do the GM work for the team. Any justice. The coaching staff is lame. Stefonski doesn't know that many great people who are great coaches. And coordinators. I mean he got doo doo offensive coordinator. Dorsey a throw away from Buffalo. If a playoff + super bowl contending team like Buffalo don't want him. Why does a trying to get there on that level and beyond team like the Cleveland Browns hire him? Let's face it. Kevin stefonski doesn't have enough football buddies that our coaches and GM's. That are at a very high level who have won super bowls or had a constant playoff contending team. He just does it. Maybe it's his personality, his quiet demeanor. And maybe because he's still fairly young But nobody going to pay for those tickets. So hopefully there's a lot of contest to win brown season tickets. Which back in the '90s? I won 2 years in a row season tickets for two. When the grocery chain? Finest had contest offering season tickets. I think haslam may be in for a rude awakening once he move out to Brook Park. As far as ticket sales. You've got to have a super bowl contending team.
