According to Signal Cleveland, an audit conducted by Osborne Engineering found the need for $252,000 in immediate repairs, such as fixing doors, broken light and cracked concrete. Auditors found an additional $10.4 million in emergency repairs to ensure the safety of guests, including new grease interceptors in its plumbing system, new pedestrian ramps, new trash cans, and a host of expensive concrete, steel and joint repairs.
On top of all that, the truly big repairs, such as the replacement of scoreboards and seats, will be made between 2026 and 2034 and come in at around $106.3 million.
The Brown s told Signal Cleveland that they are not asking for the city to make all of the repairs. Rather the team is hoping to address the most urgent needs right now as they relate to fan safety.
The city conducts a capital repair audit of the stadium every five years under its lease with the Browns. Since 2014, Cleveland has been on the hook for $28 million in repair work, including projects still in the planning stages.
