"Cleveland Council Considers Art Modell Law in Browns' Stadium Negotiations"

Cleveland City Councilman Brian Kazy plans to introduce legislation enforcing the Art Modell law, which could pose a significant obstacle to the Browns owners' potential move of the team's stadium to Brook Park. The law, stemming from Art Modell's relocation of the team to Baltimore in 1996, would require the Haslams to give Cleveland and its residents a chance to purchase the team before moving it outside the city, potentially complicating the team's plans for a new stadium.

Cleveland Councilman Urges Browns to Adhere to 'Art Modell Law' in Stadium Talks

Cleveland City Councilman Brian Kazy plans to introduce legislation to enforce Ohio Revised Code Section 9.67, which aims to prevent the Cleveland Browns from moving their home games elsewhere without proper notice or opportunity for local purchase. The legislation seeks to ensure the city remains involved in the process and will undergo review before potentially reaching the mayor. The Browns owners are considering building a domed stadium in a Cleveland suburb, but their current lease for Cleveland Browns Stadium runs until 2028, sparking a debate over the team's future home.
