Throw a retractable hat on the Stadium on the lake and call it a day.
It's a near impossibility, structurally, that would cost nearly as much as a new stadium. At least, that's what the experts have said.
Maybe Haslam is looking at building a whole entertainment complex like the Patriots did with Patriot Place. Shopping, restaurants galore, dome stadium and a new state of the art training facility. With the dome (hopefully retractable) or consisting of the field being moved out to maintain a grass field (like Vegas and Arizona), the Browns could build an entire entertainment complex that would be open year-round with the dome in play. It would be a huge draw for Northern Ohio and actually, IMHO, benefit the entire area including Cleveland. Not to mention the opportunity for a Super Bowl, NCAA Final 4, year-round major concerts and/or a major bowl game which Cleveland currently has zero chance of getting.
Maybe it's just me but with proper planning and investment, a new entertainment complex larger than Patriot Place would be a huge financial benefit to the area, including Cleveland.
