CLEVELAND — The City of Cleveland and the Cleveland Browns are holding a joint press conference at City Hall. The press conference was announced mid-afternoon and is expected to begin around 4:30 p.m.
As the Browns move forward with plans to build an enclosed stadium in Brook Park, the city and the team have been engaged in court over a possible violation of the team's current stadium lease, as well as whether the Browns are violating Ohio’s so-called Art Modell law – a law that gives communities more leverage when teams want to leave taxpayer-supported facilities.
