The owners of the Browns announced Thursday that they have increased their investment in the stadium project in Brook Park.<\/p>\n
The Haslam family has upped their contribution to $1.755 billion. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe are committed to Northeast Ohio and believe with this increased investment, we will create not only a transformative world-class stadium and development but an opportunity to positively impact further growth in our region,\u201d Dee and Jimmy Haslam said in a statement. \u201cWe believe that Cleveland and all of Northeast Ohio deserve this state of the art, first-of-its-kind venue, and we will continue to work on our commitment to build a stadium and football team that our fans and community will be proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n
Team officials say the family\u2019s contribution represents 67.5 percent of the total cost.<\/p>\n
The state of Ohio will kick in $600 million through the Ohio Cultural and Sports Facility Performance Grant Fund. The state\u2019s plan to use unclaimed funds for the grant is being contested in court.<\/p>\n
The city of Brook Park will pay $245 million through tax revenues generated by the project.<\/p>\n
The Haslam Sports Group is adding another $1 billion for mixed-use development planned alongside the stadium.<\/p>\n
The \u201cSuper Theater\u201d stadium will seat 67,500 for Browns games and will be \u201ccapable of hosting a wide array of premier large-scale events year-round, including NCAA Final Fours, international soccer matches and concerts for crowds of up to 75,000.\u201d<\/p>\n
