Cleveland Browns Stadium is a football
stadium located in Cleveland, Ohio. It is the home of the Cleveland
Browns NFL franchise. The stadium sits on 31 acres of land on the shores
of Lake Erie and has a capacity of at least 73,200. The normal use of
Cleveland Browns Stadium is only for football; however, the stadium was
built with a playing surface large enough to allow it to host
international soccer matches.
Major criticism of the facility is that over a quarter of a billion
dollars was spent on a venue that is only guaranteed to be used for ten
events each year (eight regular season and two preseason football
games). Many civic leaders in Cleveland contend that a domed stadium,
constructed closer to the central business district, could have doubled
as a much needed replacement for the aging, cramped Public Auditorium
and Convention Center. Additionally, the land on which Cleveland Browns
Stadium now sits could have been used to further develop the
underutilized Lake Erie shoreline for residential/business purposes.
