The Cleveland Browns haven’t fared all that well this season.
However, there’s some hope for the future.
Not only will the team look to improve in the offseason, but they’ve also taken a big step toward the organization’s future.
According to a report by Browns insider Daryl Ruiter, the team has purchased the 176 acres of land in Brook Park to build a proposed $2.4 billion dome.

They will also spend $1 billion on an adjacent mixed-use development project.
The Browns have been in this process for months now.
Of course, this has always been a matter of controversy.
The weather has always played a big factor for this team.
Some believe this should continue, and building a domed stadium would diminish the beauty and strategy of the traditional game.
On the other hand, it’s not like those inclement conditions only affect the visiting team.
The Browns have also suffered from that at times.
Moreover, they currently have one of the most outdated stadiums in the National Football League, so this seemed long overdue.
It’s an exciting time for the city of Cleveland.
There will still be a long while before the stadium opens its doors.
Hopefully, by the time that happens, they will have one of the best teams in the NFL, as the fans deserve much more than what they’ve gotten from them this season.
