I feel that the city needs to crack down on crime and not be soft on it. Downtown Cleveland has a lot to offer . I see no need for the Browns to move out of downtown as there are already food, shopping, museums. I don't feel what the Haslams group wants to build is need or truly wanted. Also I disagree with the state using the unclaimed funds to help in building the unwanted stadium. I feel that money should be used to help the city or any city for that matter in bettering schools, roads, water, sewer and electrical grid across Ohio.
Get them to stop building the new stadium and get it back downtown.
Their name is the Cleveland Browns. Not the Brookpark Browns. Not to mention the deal that was settled wasn’t even a good deal? The lakefront will never see development in my lifetime and I’m 27 years old.
I will never vote for Bib after this.
NUMBER 1. - State of Ohio backed a private entity over local control of how NE Ohio develops our region. So much for local control.
NUMBER.2 - Public subsidized financing for a private company to cannibalize monies flowing into core city and small businesses plus fans through higher ticket prices.
NUMBER 3 - potential federal funds to modify sections of 480 and 71 to improve traffic in and out of doom and airport. Couldn't the federal dollars be better utilized for say incentives to Ford to build a modern car assembly facility on the site? Make America Great Again and onshore manufacturing.
NUMBER 4 - The promise of more events. There are none. The doom will cannibalize events from other civic owned facilities.
NUMBER 5 - Fan experience Pre event and actual Event and Post event will change. Choises will be reduced while event ticket prices increase.
NUMBER 6 - site parking capacity is 11 to 18K depending on whether jimmys world brownstown lifestyle center is built. Doom needs spaces for 28K. Is there a plan for overflow demand to park on Snow or Brook Park and transport to doom site?
NUMBER 7 CLE has accomplish wonders turning city into a top notch place for major events, Hollywood productions, and tourism. The city is walkable, plenty of Downtown hotels, restaurants and activities for guests. The doom in brook park doent fit into the model that made CLE a destination city. It's not walkable, difficult for guest to get to and isolated.
NUMBER 8 doom subsidy indirectly subsidizes jimmys world brownstown lifestyle center. It's a terrible idea. Surrounding area median income is bottom quartile and can't support its retail, or restaurants.
NUMBER 9 what city in the world has desired apartment or townhouses or condo sold under luxury label (all new construction is sold as luxury to justify pricing points needed to earn a return on the capital) built next to regions major international airport?
NUMBER 10 late summer and autumn in CLE is best time of year. Doom trades those 8-10 weeks outside watching football for season long indoor to avoid maybe 4 weeks of potential very cool or wet and cold weather. People forget half attendees can't park at doom they will need to walk a mile plus in the rain or cold to and from doom. That will cause the same numbers of no shows
Get your heads out of your A$$e$.
