Lawsuit alleges new Cleveland Browns stadium funding plan is ‘unconstitutional and unlawful’
The Cleveland Browns and the state of Ohio are collaborating to build a new suburban stadium, funded in part by $600 million from the state’s unclaimed property fund. This has led to a lawsuit from Ohio residents with unclaimed funds, calling it an unconstitutional misappropriation. The budget bill signed by Ohio Governor Mike DeWine includes this plan, which allows unclaimed funds to cover a quarter of the construction budget. There is opposition from various parties, including Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb, who is against the move to a suburb and the changes to the Modell Law. The new stadium, Huntington Bank Field, will be used for various events and the lease with the city expires in 2028.
