What happened: NFL owners approved G5 financing for the Cleveland Browns' new stadium on Tuesday. G5 is the league's loan program for construction and renovation projects. The approval advances the team's plan for a scheduled 2029 opening.

Why it matters: The vote secures a central funding mechanism for Cleveland's long-term home. The Brook Park stadium project has centered on closer fan seating and the 2029 timeline.

What to watch: Construction milestones and remaining financing terms will define the path to 2029.
