40 hours to go folks. 40 hours to go!!!! Hell of an opener too, Cubs/Dodgers. I wish MLB could play in Europe/Asia from March-mid April so we could have better weather the remaining US games AND the season ends six weeks early. Frankly, I wish the season would end in early September since so much attention shifts to the NFL by then -- but obviously that's not happening.

Jaysus, those photos take me back. Those fountains (and the Indians/Browns) are all I remember about downtown from the 80s. In 2007 Mr. MayDay posted the fountains leaked into the Cleveland Convention Center and were removed (at an earlier date, not '07). As to when the Arcade began falling off, 70s and 80s like everything else. Even the '01 renovation and Hyatt absorbing space didn't do all that much. Those shops and eateries were quite dead; people just used the mall to go from one block to another. Used to see Travis Haffner at the gym downstairs, that was cool.

What a remarkably s**tty year already.

Is that true? I'm seeing we either gained 1900 (Google AI) or lost 3900 (worldpopulationreview.com).

I seriously doubt Trump, MAGA and conservative brain rot give a flying fig about funding a stadium in Ohio, especialy in a blue region. Look at Moreno and Vance's utter absence and silence in the dismantling of the CHIPS act, and with it the Intel expansion, and with it a big chunk of Ohio's future. They don't care about Ohio outside of restricting trans and reproductive rights and warring with immigrants, which they've pretty much succeeded. Mission accomplished. And if they can't be bothered despite their Ohio ties, then you better believe Trump doesn't give a s**t. Which is a good thing.

Plan B is Jimmy pays for the stadium himself, works with Cuyhoga County (maybe include other counties) on a satisfying profit-sharing arrangement, negotiates an extended lease on the Browns stadium, or looks in other regions. I guess that's plans B, C, D and E.

15 days folks!!!!! And the MLB season starts in... 6 days. Okay then, I'm down for this little experiment.

Details are crucial, but it is the first potential compromise that the criminal and her husband have suggested. Also, someone better mention to the criminals that the laughable $2.4 billion estimate is several billion short with tariff and recession cost increases and ancillary consequences. That number, which was never real in the first place, is long dead.

Better an F than a C- Nowhere to go but up

Breweries are pretty big attractions for residents and non-residents alike. A little grocery store, dry cleaners, boutique clothing shop, etc, would mainly rely on immediate locals. At the moment it's doubtful this micro-neighborhood could easily support those businesses. It's just too cut off and small, presently. Maybe a co op coffee shop?

The commissioner cannot force an owner to sell a franchise but can call for a 3/4 owners vote under section 3.8(A) of the Bylaws. Time to test those waters.

Meanwhile Parsons, Bosa, Watt and Hendrickson have been on the phone all morning.

And right now Khan, Jones, and Kraft are stumbling out of their mistresses' apartments and swearing, "NOT AGAIN JIMMY, NOT AGAIN!"

Well, I guess that means we're now a Superbowl team, at least according to Garrett's demands. Welcome Mr... Darnold? Cousins? Fields?

Wow... I was not expecting an extension. Not in a million years.

Cardinals stadium was $455 million not too long ago. Boy those were the days. And if Jimmy is guarantor and takes care of the inevitable 10 figure overruns, then do they really matter? As long as the crook pays for this fantasy, then who cares what the overruns wind up. Or would debt limit complications exist I.e. https://athlonsports.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/seek-permission-debt-bills-new-stadium-plan-hits-2-2-million-glitch-buffal

For now, the Browns call building next to Hopkins a bonus, not a roadblock. “This becomes, really, the first thing fans and people are going to see as they’re flying into the city,” the head of the design team said. “There’s the home of the Cleveland Browns.” Does this person have an altered mental status?

I thought the Pegulas paid for the overruns in Buffalo.

An extention is very possible, but the city will need to add several zeroes to the current $250,000/year of annual rent the day after the 2028 season, or develop an entirely new profit-sharing arrangement. No more near-free ride for the criminal. Of all the embarassing deals involving the stadium's financing, and they are many, that one in particular is perhaps most infuriating.

'With luxurious motorcoaches departing daily, travelers will soon enjoy a refined, convenient, and connected alternative for regional travel.” Great to see more travel options, but let's not pretend this is the Orient Express

https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/Articles/2025/03/05/brook-park-mayor-city-wont-approve-browns-deal-without-favorable-numbers/ Brook Park mayor: City won’t approve Browns deal without favorable numbers Guessing Orcutt doesn't believe Deon's kid is the next Tom Brady. "Orcutt said that the city has “yet to vet, in detail,” the plan the Browns released last month to pay for construction of a $2.4B covered stadium on 176 acres of former Ford Motor Co. property." Tick tock buddy, tick tock. Fall of 2029 isn't too far off if you need three years for some fantasy dome.

Euclid has to be the most polarizing city in NE Ohio. My hunch is no, but it's always nice seeing investment there.

Those will sell in seconds. 55+ new housing minutes from Ahuja, Pinecrest, Eaton, Lander, Heinens, Chagrin Falls... In seconds.

This article has so many embellishments/inaccuracies that I'm wondering if it's parody. "HealthLine blends the efficiency of rail with the flexibility of a bus, creating a high-speed transit solution along Euclid Avenue." Has he actually been on this bus? "According to RTA, the HealthLine has generated more than $9.5 billion in economic investment along the corridor [by 2018]" Dear Jesus. “The mayor of Chicago visited us to look at what we did here, and they executed on that at Wacker Drive in Chicago.” Is the author talking about the Loop Link disaster? It doesn't even connect to Wacker Drive outside of very briefly crossing it from Union Station.. "With more than 20,000 residents now living downtown and roughly 10,000 in University Circle, experts credit the HealthLine for playing a large a role in shaping modern Cleveland." Oh I'd love to meet these "experts". This article should be pulled.

11? That is impressive. I wish they could get more housing. And that Burntwood didn't close too.
