What happened: Cleveland Browns revealed plans for new stadium in Brook Park, targeting 2029 opening. First-row seats sit just 16 feet from the field, with the furthest seat 248 feet away. This setup brings fans closer than any current NFL venue, per architects HKS.

Why it matters: Intimate seating could amplify crowd noise, enhancing Browns' home-field edge in future games. Comes amid PSL sales and funding hurdles for the project.

What to watch: Track funding lawsuit resolutions blocking $600M in state funds and PSL credit details for existing holders.
