“You can’t take the money and run”: City of Cleveland filed a lawsuit against the Cleveland Browns accusing the team of violating the Modell Law
Cleveland has sued the Browns, alleging the team violated the Modell Law by planning to relocate to Brook Park without fulfilling legal obligations. The city claims the Browns are bypassing required negotiations and attempts to sell to local buyers, seeking to enforce compliance and halt construction. The law protects taxpayer-supported facilities from abandonment.
