Except they actually will host a Super Bowl. We won't.
Their stadium is downtown near one of the country's most notable tourist destinations. Ours is gonna be by the airport and some shitty strip clubs.
@_blue42 The only reason people would support such a bad product is because it has a long standing tie to the community. But we're blowing that up as well moving to Brook Park.
@Sito440@ToddKrieger1@REFLOG18 It could easily be renovated. but we don't need a freaking shopping mall. wider concourses, more toilets - not that hard
If the @Browns were well-run/routinely successful, 98% of fans wouldn't have an issue with the current stadium. But we've been bad for so long, it's got a decent portion of our fanbase (& of course our owners!) convincing themselves "hmm maybe it's the stadium that's the problem"
You're dreaming if you think the new @Browns flavor of the month stadium next to the airport is going to be the team's forever home. It won't be 20 years before we're talking about some new taxes for yet another building. Guaranteed.
Fenway Park is one of the best MLB stadiums. Fun amenities but more importantly a great atmosphere. And from a franchise value standpoint, it is absolutely an asset - it legitimizes the Sox as one of baseball's blue blood organizations. Maybe THIS will resonate with the Haslams!
Although downtown stadiums are usually better, I actually respect the @BuffaloBills for building their new stadium in Orchard Park. That's where their history is, where generations of their fans have gone for games. There's something to that. In Cleveland we're throwing that away
