If it not financially feasible to build a stadium with a retractable roof, how about building an open air stadium designed to accommodate a retractable roof in the future?

I've never been to a Melt. My brother went to one a while back, I think it was the Independence location, and said it was really loud inside. I'm not fond of dining in really loud places. Nor do I have a desire to eat an overstuffed grilled cheese sandwich.

I wonder if the NFL could end the regular season a little earlier so the playoffs can occur before the weather gets really bad? Maybe start the season earlier. Maybe eliminate the bye week.

I liked the design of the proposed AmeriTrust tower, except for the top section. It looked similar to the Ohio Bell building on 9th Street which is one of my favorite buildings downtown.

Yes, a different shape is needed. There are too many boxy buildings currently.

Article by @KJP earlier this week's said two buildings will be demolished - 1198 and 1204. Did something change?

No need to ban alcohol on board, I'm sure it's a nice source of revenue for the airlines. And folks who are a little skittish about flying probably need a drink or two to take the edge off. They just need to cut off anyone who has had too much. Unfortunately we have such a rude, disrespectful, lawless culture nowadays. That is the main reason for the chaos occurring - not just in the air, but everywhere in our country.

Here's an article on the Greyhound station, but nothing we don't already know. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/01/metamorphosis-coming-for-clevelands-greyhound-station-but-where-do-we-go-to-catch-a-bus.html

Or a building with a somewhat triangular footprint - parallel to W 6th on one side and 45° on the other side. I thought someone did a rendering similar to that upthread.

I assume it's too late to add a few more floors to HQ1.

I dunno. Not sure I like walkways extending over a river.

How close do the suppliers need to be? Could they be located in a building that is not adjacent to SHW HQ?

Nippon overpaid.

I'm OK with 2 towers instead of 1 as it will eliminate more surface parking. But I wish HQ1 was a bit taller, maybe around 700'.

I remember the 14 game regular season ending in mid-December, two weeks of playoffs and the Super Bowl in mid-January,

It would be nice to see a better rendering of the addition to the 1220 building from the street.

Another thing is the NFL season has now gotten much longer. The regular season goes into January and the conference championship games are at the end of January. Hopefully the Browns will be playing more January football in the coming years.

It's too bad the United-Continental merger wasn't blocked. ☹️

JetBlue-Spirit merger blocked by judge over fears it would hurt competition. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jetblue-spirit-airlines-merger-blocked-by-judge-competition/

I'd rather see one at 4th & Prospect.

And the previous game vs. the Jet was on Thursday, so there were a few additional days of rest.

The Browns picked a bad day to have a bad day.

I know. But I'm still worried. I doubt it will be possible to fill all those buildings, even in 30 years. Remember that the Warehouse District parcels including the prime Jacobs lot were surface parking for 30+ years until SHW started building their new HQ. The courthouse is apparently going elsewhere. It doesn't look like Cliffs will be doing anything in the foreseeable future. Even Rocket Mortgage is now sounding iffy. The Centennial developer is still trying to figure out what to do with that huge building. Landmark and Medical Mutual will soon be vacant and will need to be filled. The NuCLEus site is still a parking lot 10 years after it was proposed. The Flats East Bank development is limping along at a snails pace. I'm sure Bedrock will do something, but the riverfront development just seems way too aggressive and will likely need to be scaled down. Sorry, just being realistic.

I'm getting a little worried about the Bedrock plan. It seems like they may need to scale it down.
