Exactly or do what cities with real parking issues do and implement parking permits but we’re certainly not facing those issues

Would take some business away from the Cedar Point Sports Center which is the Mecca of that sort of thing for youths in the region

Yeah it was great couple that with the science center hosting NASA on the front lawn and street, downtown was activated all the way to the lake

Conversely theres bidding every year of these large events obviously year in advance but regardless they gotta go somewhere I think I heard we have the men’s tournament here in a couple years not a final four but it’s somethin

Only because of Logan Paul being from Westlake

yesterday today

Just got to this part I can’t believe it’s a real proposal, is April fools a week long event?

I take this back there seems to be ample space between the development and the single family homes

I think there probably should have been more of a step down in relationship with the single family homes, one of the worst examples I’ve see recently is station 73 and the townhomes to the north. Station 73 towers over the townhomes and it’s just doesn’t blend well at all. I fear the same may be happening here. I also think and not say they shouldn’t make exclusions to the rules but it is a bad look if the commission a month ago approved certain zoning laws and now they’re approving a variance to the exact thing the zoning law was trying to avoid and make clearer for developers. all that said how many times can parking be brought up, there’s plenty of street parking and also just because there’s parking lot for residents of the apartment doesn’t mean everyone will want to pay for a spot, I’ve never seen or lived in a building around here where more than 3/4 of paid parking is taken

Everyone wants an nfl team that’s more than enough time. Lebron would likely have heavy interest

owner of the capitals and wizards, speaking about doing a deal with the city, good insight to the owners argument for city funding

Also a good and relevant call back for us right now if you remember the spots they thought about putting the stadium 1) riverfront in Kentucky 2) the developing Oakley neighborhood near 71 3) the eventual home in the West End neighboring the hottest district in the city OTR. Although all three options are better than what we face with brook park

Picked the spot already aside, to his point a soccer stadium would be perfect for the lakefront it’s perfect medium sized venue with a good indoor out door feel and is able to make cut outs towards views like downtown and the lake the more I think about it the more I’d love to see this in the flats although not sure if there’s room

That’s a crazy condition for a b-team league, the MLS doesn't even follow that they’re happy with a existing stadium that can convert to a pitch

Also think the FC Cincinnati approach of waiting a few years and renting out another stadium for games to prove out the model worked out really well and that team’s owners have infinite money. Building a stadium right away feels pretty risky

Also strange combo of co-owners a film producer and a finance guy…. Their net worth's aren’t massive so I’m guessing there’s a larger minority group than usual curious how this stadium turns out

Interesting could be closer to the size of a typical MLS stadium

The Federal Aviation Administration lacks the authority by itself to shoot down a proposed domed Cleveland Browns football stadium near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, where owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam have an option to buy 176 acres of land in Brook Park. When asked if it would allow the stadium’s construction, the federal agency issued a statement that said developers must give it the opportunity to evaluate proposed structures near airports to determine whether they could pose a hazard to aircraft or interfere with navigation aids. It didn't offer an opinion about a potential stadium next to Hopkins. https://www.cleveland.com/news/2024/04/could-the-faa-stop-the-browns-from-building-a-stadium-next-to-hopkins-airport.html?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=likeshopme&utm_content=www.instagram.com/p/C5RBQCuMfFA Looks like a non-story

Well one has started already

W-17th gets another modern home and the Guardians of traffic get a new neighbor

They couldn’t choose any other day than April first

Well an inspector passed by and saw the unapproved dog park and waived it as illegal. The welleon ended up at landmarks this past meeting, which basically the welleon described how they knowingly departed from the initial designs without approval and basically asked to continue as installed. This is the second occurrence of a developer doing this along Detroit in Gordon square this year. To Welleon’s credit, aside from this decision by them they previously had a great back and forth with the city

Thinking through it again I will say it does say something that even with all these quotes about brook park and hyping it up as the best experience, the haslems still mentioned what they COULD do at the lakefront, if the fan experience was so much greater in brook park and the revenue would be so much higher why even still mention the lakefront

I agree, I don’t think you can slam a business for trying to make more money that’s literally their purpose they’re not a non-for profit also for them it certainly does suck to have all these downtown parking lots and garages profit off the back of your event and get nothing in return. To that end people will mostly drive together couldn’t they get more revenue by actually increasing the ticket prices per fan instead of indirectly raising them per car and they don’t have to deal with increase in property taxes and maintenance of a parking lot
