The Haslams are seeking $600M from the state, and $600M from local governments to “match their commitment” of $1.2B on the 65,000-seat stadium.

The new Cleveland Browns stadium deal has been turning heads since it was proposed. Their first point of contention was the legalities of it potentially being built outside of the Cleveland city limits.

While the Haslams will contribute $1.2 billion, $600 million would come from the state of Ohio, $422 million from Brook Park, and $178 million from Cuyahoga County.

The plan from the Browns' owners includes a $1.2 billion contribution from the public, which private funders would match. Private funding would also cover any overruns.

The Browns on Thursday released a financial plan for a new domed stadium in Brook Park. It involves the public paying half the bill.

Executives from Haslam Sports Group, including owner Jimmy Haslam, sat down with reporters Thursday afternoon to walk through their proposal. The off-camera meeting came as the Browns are trying to win enough government support to make their vision for a mixed-use stadium district a reality – with hopes of starting construction in early 2026.
