To dome or not to dome.

There has been a lot of talk about a new stadium for the Browns and the debate is if it should have a dome. The overall opinion is to have a dome. Now add in a new city to the mix and we have a team playing not in the city that carries their name. I would like to weigh in on this debate, even if my thoughts don’t matter. I feel that we are being short sight red when it comes to building stadiums. I understand that the cost is always high, but the long-term benefits are always under stated. What I like to offer is this build Two Stadiums, one in Brookpark and one at the current site of browns stadium. I know you ask why. And I have these things that we should look at. Needs, the last time we built the stadium we rushed to get it built without looking for what other uses/functions it would serve. We have the chance now not to repeat that mistake. The Stadium is not just a place to host a game but there can be concerts, a place to organize large groups of people in time of natural disasters. And give the city and the state an option to compete for events that bring dollars in.

Why two stadiums, this would give us a chance to build two multi-use facilities that can meet future demands. Football, large concerts that would work injunction with the Rock and Roll Hall of fame, the chance to bring tennis, soccer and hockey back to the city. I am old enough to remember World team tennis. Let’s not forget Track and Field.

Who should pay for this, we all should there is no reason why the Browns, the cities and county and state should work together to build these stadiums as well as profit from the revenues from these stadiums. They should come together and develop a thirty-year plan that would look at all events coming to Ohio and ways to bring things like the Olympic trails to Ohio. I am sure that there are events that I have not thought of.

And I am sure that I am the only person in the country that thinks that Stadiums should be included in our infrastructure bill. Since most if not all the World War Two Bomb shelters have been torn down.
