Rodger Goodell discusses plans for NFL Draft, Super Bowl in Cleveland
NFL Commissioner Rodger Goodell recently discusses the plans for the Cleveland Browns to host another NFL Draft and its first-ever Super Bowl.
After a long, hard-fought battle for the Cleveland Browns , the struggling franchise was finally able to have its official groundbreaking ceremony for the new stadium that will be ready in 2029 on Thursday evening. While there have been plenty of disputes regarding a new stadium for the organization, owner Jimmy Haslam was able to finally put the plan into motion, as the construction of a new stadium for the Browns will begin in Brook Park. And while many fans are excited about the team having a dome in the near future, the possibilities for new events to occur in the city could be an incredible draw in the coming years.
