'Maybe they can build a winning team next': Reaction to Browns Brook Park stadium news

The Cleveland Browns made it official Thursday with an announcement they'll be moving to Brook Park with a new domed stadium .

Owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam had previously stated they were weighing their options between renovating the current lakefront stadium or building a whole new one near Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.

The Browns have played at the current lakefront location in some form since the original franchise was founded in 1946. The current stadium was originally opened in 1999 when the expansion franchise began play.

The cost for the new domed stadium is projected to be around $2.4 billion. The cost to renovate the current one was around half that price, with the city of Cleveland having pledged $461 million to that plan in early August.

With the news of the announcement, fans and pundits alike are weighing in on social media with reactions ranging from serious to silly.
