Cleveland Will Ask For Super Bowl L (50)

Cleveland Browns Stadium Retractable RoofCLEVELAND -- Cleveland City Council members Monday night approved the proposal to request Super Bowl L (50) be held in Cleveland. As part of the deal, the city will install a retractable dome on the Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Approving the proposal to request the Super Bowl is the first step in a rather lengthy process of getting one of the most popular championship games in sports, WEWS reported.

The cost of putting a retractable dome on the Stadium is estimated at $90 million, but the debate remains on how the project will be funded.

The retractable roof would also permit the stadium to be used year-round for functions other than football.

The developer of the project has created a Web site that shows photos of the roof model and has a downloadable petition.

The petition is available at www.superbowlforcleveland.com.

Here is one more image of the proposed stadium with the construction already installed.

No dude...

I'm thinking...

how nice it would be for the Steelers to WIN that Super Bowl...;)

I actually think it would be great for the City...and doesn't have anything to do with the Browns...so I don't mind it at all...

Cleveland is an awesome city...and having the bowl would only make it better...

You can't win anymore until we win at least one, Have pity on us, LMAO.

Seriously Though, i would love to see the Browns get a Retracable Roof, I've been to the one in Houston and Goddamn it was one of the Nicest Stadiums in the league

No, not worried about that at all...

Matter of fact, I don't see the Browns winning the Super Bowl for at least another 15 years or so...

Just being honest....

As for the retractable roof, I hate it...

Part of the home field advantage of playing in Cleveland, like Buffalo and Pittsburgh, is being used to playing in those fridged temperatures....

Oh come On...Were just starting to go in the right direction, I see us getting there in at least 10.

Seriously Though...41-0 will not happen next year...I think we are going to shock a lot of people in the league. I see us at least having one close game against you guys.

No domes or retractable roofs..... Football should be played outdoors on grass in the elements!
