Proposed Brook Park dome personal seat license outrages Browns fans
The Cleveland Browns are planning to move into new Huntington Bank Field by 2029, with official plans to break ground in 2026.
With that, the team has recently started surveying fans on the possibility of handing them part of the tab for the new venue.
As Daryl Ruiter of 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland reported earlier, the team is sending out surveys to fans, asking for their opinions on a Personal Seat License scheme. Personal Seat Licenses, or PSLs, are a way in which teams collect money by forcing the fans to pay for the right to subsequently acquire season tickets. In other words, you pay for the right to pay for seats.
The PSL scheme is common around the league, with TIQAssist stating that around 20 of the league’s 32 teams utilize some form of PSL structure. Cleveland sold PSLs in 1999 when their current home opened, but stopped offering them in 2013 because demand had fallen off.
According to Cleveland.com, those were priced in the range of $250 to $1,500 per seat, with no PSL charges for the 10,000 Dawg Pound seats.
Now, it seems they might become a thing again once the team moves to the new stadium.
According to the survey sent out to fans. The Browns are expected to charge anywhere between $500 to $149,300 per seat, depending on the section, if they decide to go through with this plan.
The location of the proposed $2.4 billion indoor stadium in Brook Park, is approximately 13 to 17 miles away from the current Browns stadium. It’s set to become Ohio’s first enclosed stadium, and will seat around 67,500 fans, with capacity expandable up to 75,000 for select events.
Although the team hasn’t officially announced that PSLs will be implemented for would-be season-ticket holders, this strategy of spreading out the financial hit among die-hard fans has become more and more popular within the NFL, since it was first established by the Carolina Panthers in 1996.
The Bills and Titans, expecting to debut their new stadiums in 2026 and 2027, respectively, are adhering to this model, as well.
At this point, the fan survey looks more like a preview of what’s to come, than just an exploratory exercise. If the organization follows through on PSLs, then the real question becomes how many fans would be willing to hand over such amounts of money when the product on the field is so bad.
WHO DAT NEWS — MAXX CROSBY DONATES $102.9 MILLION TO FIGHT HOMELESSNESS, LAUNCHES “THE CROSBY HAVEN PROJECT” IN LAS VEGAS
In one of the most inspiring acts of generosity in professional sports history, Las Vegas Raiders superstar defensive end Maxx Crosby has donated his entire $102.9 million bonus and sponsorship earnings to fund a massive Homeless Shelter Initiative in Las Vegas. The initiative will build 150 housing units and 300 shelter beds, offering long-term stability and renewed hope to hundreds of individuals and families experiencing homelessness.
At a press conference held inside Allegiant Stadium on Friday morning, Crosby was joined by city officials, Raiders executives, and dozens of local families as he emotionally unveiled the “Crosby Haven Project.” With tears in his eyes, Crosby explained the motivation behind his historic donation.
“I’ve seen the effects of homelessness firsthand growing up, and I knew if I ever had the means, I’d give back in a meaningful way,” Crosby said. “No one deserves to sleep on a sidewalk. Everyone deserves a roof, a bed, and a chance to rebuild.”
The project, backed by partnerships with the City of Las Vegas Housing Authority, Habitat for Humanity, and several local churches, will provide not just housing but also food programs, mental health counseling, job training, and educational opportunities. Crosby’s goal isn’t temporary relief — it’s lasting change.
“Maxx didn’t just write a check,” said Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman. “He built a vision — a long-term plan to end chronic homelessness in this city. This is one of the largest private donations Las Vegas has ever seen, and it’s coming from the heart of a man who has given his all to this city both on and off the field.”
Crosby, who has spent his entire NFL career with the Raiders, is known for his relentless drive, leadership, and deep connection to the community. His loyalty to Las Vegas has made him not just a sports hero, but a local icon. Since joining the team in 2019, Crosby has been active in numerous outreach efforts — from youth mentorship programs to disaster recovery projects — but this initiative marks his most ambitious effort yet.
Fans and fellow players across the league have taken to social media to praise Crosby’s generosity. Teammate Chandler Jones wrote on X (formerly Twitter):
“That’s real leadership. Maxx’s always been about more than football. That man’s heart is different.”
Former Raiders quarterback Derek Carr also posted a heartfelt message, calling Crosby’s gift “a moment that defines what it means to love your city and your people.”
The Crosby Haven Project will be built in phases across Las Vegas and surrounding areas. Phase one — 50 housing units and 100 shelter beds — is set to break ground in March 2026, with completion expected by early 2027. The initiative will prioritize veterans, families with children, and individuals who have been displaced by natural disasters — an issue that continues to challenge Nevada communities.
Each site will include a community resource center, offering workshops in financial literacy, employment readiness, and life skills. A portion of the funding will also support an annual “Path to Purpose” scholarship, helping young people who grew up in shelters access higher education or trade programs.
“Maxx Crosby’s donation is more than a contribution — it’s a catalyst,” said Ronald Peterson, director of the Las Vegas Homeless Alliance. “This project will transform lives and change the way we approach housing and rehabilitation in this city.”
The initiative’s impact is already rippling through the region. Raiders fans have started organizing online fundraisers to add to the project, while local businesses have pledged matching donations. Even the NFL Players Association has announced plans to recognize Crosby with the Community Impact Award for his extraordinary service.
Despite his massive financial commitment, Crosby was quick to remind everyone that this isn’t about fame or headlines — it’s about humanity.
“I’m blessed to play this game and be part of a team that means everything to this city,” he said. “But football is temporary. Impact lasts forever.”
As he left the podium, the crowd erupted in chants of “RAIDERS! RAIDERS!” echoing through the stadium with pride and emotion.
For Las Vegas, Maxx Crosby isn’t just a defensive powerhouse — he’s become a symbol of heart, humility, and hope. His donation will not only reshape lives but redefine what it means to be a hero in the truest sense.
From the streets of downtown Las Vegas to the neighborhoods still recovering from years of hardship, one message now rings clear:
Maxx Crosby has turned his success into shelter — and his legacy into love.
