They should find a way and sell the Wolstein Center to Bedrock. I am sure that Bedrock could find alternate ways to keep the Wolstein center viable. Then use the proceeds from the sale ( hopefully there is enough proceeds ) and build your 5-7k seat arena.

But wait a minute - Bibb's Offer plus County plus state will be closer to 500m +. This could end up at 550m

AS announced earlier today new arena shelved. Another Master plan cancelled or on hold. https://www.crainscleveland.com/sports-recreation/cleveland-state-wont-pursue-wolstein-center-replacement

I remember reading somewhere years ago that CBS is not the proper size for international soccer. ( it is not wide enough ). I do not know if it meets MLS standard.

Yesterday everyone here on urban ohio was happy because cleveland made public their offer and everyone felt it was enough. I want the Brown's stadium DOWNTOWN whether it is a renovated Browns stadium or a NEW Dome. I am not interested in Brook Park. I remember the Richfield Coliseum . It was a nightmare. t was the absolute worst location possible, total gridlock coming in and going out and nowhere to go in the neighborhood except the richfield tavern on 303 after the games. Fan experience was zero. This will be the same problem here except the parking will be around 80 bucks not the couple of bucks you paid in richfield. Everyone here is giving Mayor Bibb a free pass. HE IS THE ONE TO BLAME. Remember Haslam wanted to place a dome on Lakeside ave where channel 3 is. BIBB nixed this idea. So Haslam then came up the Haslam lakefront plan where he would have developed some apartments, hotels etc along with the landbridge. BIBB nixed this plan as he did not want the lakefront to because to be a showpiece nationally as a place for the wealthy, BUT BIBB wants the lakefront to be a gathering place for the residents so they can hang around and loiter. So after being NIXED twice haslam went and purchased an option to purchase 176 acres in Brook Park. This should have never happened if the city would worked with Haslam AS they are currently working with Bedrock on the riverfront. There was no talk of Brook Park until BIBB came along.

Because Bibb nixed Haslam's plan making the lakefront exclusive for the rich suburbanites. Bibb's lakefront plan is to make it available to city of cleveland residents by making all of theses gathering places AND not developing it for higher income people.

Possible change in Lakefront planning. According to a Ch 19 story Bibb is willing to release the 20 acres norh of of the stadium and possibly allow haslam to partner in and develop it. https://www.cleveland19.com/2024/08/01/city-releases-461m-pitch-haslams-try-keep-stadium-downtown-request-response-by-aug-12/

https://fox8.com/news/i-team-exclusive-what-cleveland-offered-browns-to-stay-in-stadium/

This seems like a good deal from the city 367 (admissions tax ) 94 Parking plus Whatever the state & county offer. Hopefully this can come close to the 600m Haslam wants. The question that i have is assuming the state & county contribute the same amount and assuming the admissions tax generated by the browns games is the same in brook park - Then how much more can Brook Park offer Cleveland? Can they offer enough to come up to 1.2m ?
