The Cleveland Browns have a dream that is Brook Park.
The dream includes a domed stadium and a surrounding entertainment district that, in addition to NFL games, would host a variety of other major events, from concerts to tournament games in college basketball and football, pro wrasslin’, and perhaps even a Super Bowl.
All that is needed to make the dream a reality is $1.2 billion in public money, with $600 million of that amount coming from the State of Ohio.
But that state money is turning out to be harder to access than perhaps anyone originally thought.
