The City of Cleveland and the Haslam Sports Group (HSG) are faced with breaking up their football stadium partnership. In its place, so they can both move on and survive and thrive, they’re making gestures toward a deal for a new partnership based on a new purpose.

There are multiple parties that have stakes in this relationship. They include Cuyahoga County, State of Ohio, fans of the Cleveland Browns football team owned by HSG, and taxpayers.

From all indications, it sounds as though Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb and Council President Blaine Griffin, as well as HSG owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam, are willing to negotiate — something. There are various rumors from well-placed sources as to what this could include. And much still depends on a very fluid situation.

The Haslams want $600 million from the state to help fill out the $1.2 billion public-sector share, or 50 percent of the $2.4 billion cost of  an enclosed, all-purpose stadium in suburban Brook Park. The Haslams would secure the other half from the private sector.

In anticipation of the state coming forward with something close to that $600 million, the city is weighing its own request to the state. In that situation, NEOtrans has learned that city officials would want to make Downtown Cleveland whole in the absence of the Browns, once its lease at city-owned Huntington Bank Field ends after the 2028 football season.
