On Tuesday Browns ownership, Dee and Jimmy Haslam, shared a message on the team's social media accounts thanking Ohio Governor Mike DeWine, after the state approved public funding for their new $600 million stadium.

"Our fans deserve a world-class facility, and we are committed to building a state-of-the-art enclosed stadium that resonates with Cleveland, highlighting our loyal and passionate fans and the Dawg Pound, while also incorporating innovation, bold design, and an immersive experience. The new enclosed Huntington Bank Field will be completely fan-centric, a first-of-its-kind design in the NFL, and a dynamic venue that draws visitors from across Ohio and beyond, for concerts and significant sporting events throughout the year. This premiere facility will anchor a major lifestyle and entertainment development and be a catalyst for one of Northeast Ohio's largest economic development projects ever and something our community will be proud of and can enjoy for years to come. We appreciate the support of State leaders and their belief in this transformative project.," wrote ownership.

You may not be a fan of the Browns moving into a dome, but you better start getting used to it. The league is turning into a dome league, and that is only going to be good for the game.
