So "dome" is not really accurate. "Huge Building containing a football stadium" seems accurate.

Likely very similar to US Bank in MN. It is known that is the stadium that is viewed among ownership as being liked.

How bout they sell their 800 million stake in the Bucks to pay for it.
Regarding the dome, it definitely changes the culture of your franchise…sometimes for the worse. When the Vikings played outdoors, they were considered a rugged franchise that you had to beat in frozen playoff temps if you wanted to beat them. They went to four Super Bowls as those Vikings. Since they’ve moved indoors they’ve become a finesse franchise that has trouble on grass fields in the elements and they have never been back to the Super Bowl and are not feared.
Well, no one can accuse the Browns of being a successful franchise, except in antiquity.
BTW, Duke Johnson announced his retirement.

For the Browns changing should be a good thing … as it stands they have never been to a SB … so change would send them to a SB
Good point.

The Vikings pounded the rock with Adrian Peterson for like 6 years and won nothing. The NFL is a passing league, not a running league. Look at past 5 Super Bowl winners
Cleveland invokes Modell Law. It will eventually go to court if the Haslams are set on moving to Brookpark.

The Haslim will just wait until the lease is up at Cleveland Browns Stadium
Dude, that was ancient history, long before they bastardized the rules to the pass happy league we have now.

You just proved your own point wrong then by talking about a team from 10 years ago when you were talking about a team from the 70’s
No, as someone who watched most of those games and held season tickets for many years, they were still largely an overall finesse team even when AP was getting his yards. They just never were a team that could beat you up, mostly because the defenses were typically lighter and geared more for speed than size, even when Zimmer was coach and wanted to project a run first/tough D image. They had a couple years in the late 1980s where the D was pretty physical, with Keith Millard and Chris Doleman on the line, but for the most part the Vikings haven’t been known as an overly physical/tough team in their dome era.

Not sure if this has been discussed, but the irony here is that the Haslams used the Modell Law when they bought the Columbus Crew (MLS).Cleveland invokes Modell Law. It will eventually go to court if the Haslams are set on moving to Brookpark.

The A-hole owner of the Crew at that time was Anthony Precourt. Grade A Prime #1 A-hole. Intentionally let the roster go to pot and let the stadium go to pot to drive attendance down, and then set it up with the MLS to move the team to Austin Texas, where he worked out a stadium deal. A huge movement in Columbus called "Save the Crew" started, a local group led by a doctor got the Haslams interested in buying, and then they invoked the Modell Law and threatened court unless Precourt sold to them. It worked.
Now the Crew has a shiny new downtown stadium, a great roster, and 2 MLS Championships in the last 4 years. Precourt's Austin franchise is trash. There is justice in the world, sometimes.

A lot of it is that the AFC north did really well last year. There was no true bottom feeder
Browns vs Bengals on Christmas Day?
Cleveland. Cincy. Christmas?!
The NFL is about to embark on a Christmas Day invasion with a holiday doubleheader on a Wednesday - what took them so long? - in 2024. Forget "The Grinch.'' The NFL is about to steal Christmas ... and one NFL insider is predicting that the Cleveland Browns will be one of the "culprits.'' Peter Schrager of Good Morning Football took has issued a "bold prediction'' as we await the NFL schedule release, scheduled for May 15. And a highlight for Ohio: Peter writes on Instagram that he foresees a Christmas Day matchup between the in-state and NFC North rivals the Browns and the Bengals.

Did Peter really say NFC North rivals or is that a typo?

Almost as stupid as playing the opener on a Friday.

Thursday night is tough enough, following a Sunday game. Wednesday is just stupid - players cannot recover properly and coaches do not have time to prep a game plan. I cannot imagine the players union would go along with that, unless all of the teams playing on a Wednesday have a bye the previous weekend.

Christmas would be very late for a bye week. When the NFL goes to a 18 game regular season schedule they will most likely implement a 2nd bye week which will make the Christmas bye easier to accommodate.

Yes, I understand that, which is why I am saying it is a bad idea.

Think of other options: Late in the season the NFL plays some Saturday games. The teams that would play on Christmas Wednesday could play the Saturday prior. This thy would have the same amount of time between games for the Xmas games as a team would for a typical Thursday game.
There is $$$ to be made and the NFL will find a way to make it happen.
Browns open season at home against the Cowboys, which means there will be plenty of national media coverage, since the Cowboys are the darlings and Dak Prescott is the most over-publicized player with no championships.
