Haslam Sports Group and Cleveland reach $100M stadium settlement | Reporters Roundtable

from Sound of Ideas · host Ideastream Public Media

After a yearlong battle, the city of Cleveland and the Haslam Sports Group announced a deal this week in which the city ends its objections to the Browns move to Brook Park. The city will get $100 million over 15 years from the team, money to raze the existing stadium and to help Cleveland revitalize the lakefront without the Browns. The city dropped its lawsuit and its challenge to a permit allowing the new complex to exceed Federal Aviation Administration height restrictions. The story begins our discussion of the week’s news on the Friday “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable.”
