Cleveland Browns Announce New Stadium Partnership with Huntington Bank
The Cleveland Browns are making waves with their recent announcement of a 20-year naming rights agreement with Huntington National Bank. The NFL team’s lakefront stadium will now be known as Huntington Bank Field, marking a significant shift in the city’s sports landscape.
As the Browns gear up for the 2024 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys, the team’s owners, Dee and Jimmy Haslam, expressed their excitement about the new partnership with a homegrown brand like Huntington Bank.
The agreement comes on the heels of the Browns’ decision to explore the potential construction of a new domed stadium, a move that could reshape the team’s future in the city. The Haslams are eyeing a $2.4 billion project in Brook Park, Ohio, which would not only serve as a new home for the Browns but also host a variety of events and attractions.
With the team’s current stadium lease set to expire after the 2028 season, the Haslams are weighing their options for the future. While the city has offered to partially fund a renovation of the existing stadium, the allure of a state-of-the-art domed facility is hard to resist.
Ultimately, the Haslams are focused on creating a destination that can attract major events and spur economic growth in the region. By partnering with Huntington Bank and exploring innovative stadium designs, the Browns are setting the stage for an exciting new chapter in Cleveland sports history.
