Cuyahoga County officials held a press conference to discuss the future of Browns Stadium.

Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne and Council President Pernel Jones Jr. reiterated their arguments in a letter they sent to the Haslams over the weekend, expressing support for the Browns to remain in Cleveland.

The team is considering a dome in Brook Park.

Cuyahoga County addresses possible relocation of Browns Stadium in letter to Haslams

The county and the city of Cleveland agree on the location of the Browns stadium.

Ronayne mentioned two fundamental issues: protecting and promoting the assets they have invested in Downtown Cleveland through reinvestment, and protecting the treasury of the citizens of Cuyahoga County and the tax dollars they pay.

Jones and Ronayne expressed their gratitude to the Browns’ owners and stressed that they had been in contact with them.

Ronayne said there was a rendering of the stadium downtown, but unlike the one in Brook Park, it had not yet been made available to the public.

On Sunday, the Browns released a statement in response to the county’s letter, saying the team does not want to rule out any options at this time.
