What happened: Cleveland is now weighing how to reshape its lakefront now that the Browns are moving on from their current stadium there. The question facing the city is whether that freed up land becomes public waterfront space, a redevelopment anchor, or some mix of both.

Why it matters: A team exit that opens up prime lakefront real estate almost never happens in the NFL, and Cleveland gets to solve two problems in one move: get the Browns out of a dated, weather-battered building and open the waterfront back up to the public. Cities that nail this kind of transition come out with both a better venue and a better downtown.
