😑 Signal ClevelandCleveland to pay Browns $2.6 million for stadium repairs...The City of Cleveland owes the Browns more than $2.6 million for repairs at Huntington Bank Field — the one on the lakefront.

HSG throwing the kitchen sink at this suggests that desperation has set in on their side?

Obviously the cost of being on the executive committee of the GCP provides Dee Haslem with a return on investment. This was mentioned earlier, and is unsurprising.

If HSG can pin the shortfall on the county, they can cry poor and suggest it's not their fault they had to do the thing they were planning to do all along. The Bills sold 11,000 PSLs for their new stadium. All that said, they are making a big deal for a reason. If they had funding in place, they would just announce it is a done deal. They are still negotiating with the county, and the promised walkaway is just a tactic.

I want this hillbilly to ask for the money from the city for the renovation. I want concessions.

Cleveland-Cliffs to temporarily lay off 630 workers in Minnesota https://www.cleveland.com/business/2025/03/cleveland-cliffs-to-temporarily-lay-off-630-workers-in-minnesota.html The workers are in Minnesota, but this is still bad.

The residential aspect of this concept is the furthest from reality. Anything built would likely run close to a half million and up to live adjacent to a major airport, in a parking lot, surrounded by highways, next to a stadium that promises multiple events per year. And this in a city where that money would buy you an actual property with a damn nice house.

Your impatience is baffling.

Will leopards eat our faces? Let's ask the leopards while they're hungry. Surely their answer will be truthful.

Ruiter has always been a shill. Closing Burke is something that resonates beyond the urban core. If handled properly, this could be the unifying thing that everyone actually wants.

To bring this back to stadium/arena construction and away from whatever the hell is being discussed above...here is a recent article about the impact of the Sixers new arena in Chinatown: https://whyy.org/articles/philadelphia-sixers-arena-study-impact-economic-community/ “Let’s be clear: Billionaire developers will benefit the most from 76 Place, and these studies are window dressing to obscure that fact. Don’t fall for it,” said Rev. Greg Edwards, executive director of POWER Interfaith, in a statement."

In the first half of this metaphor, you ignore the stewardship role of owning art and focus on the idea of art, and I guess an NFL franchise, as a commodity. But that's okay, because most NFL owners ignore stewardship too. Collecting art is about stewardship. Owning an NFL franchise is a business. Incidentally, efforts to allow smaller investors to buy into art as a commodity has not been successful, for the same reason that minority ownership is worthless to most people with money. You aren't the owner. You vote on a few things and have a nice seat for the games. You might as well sit on the board of your local museum.

He's running out of time and is suddenly less certain he wants to spend any of his own money on the gambit he proposed to force the city's hand?
