On Wednesday, in a letter to their fans as well as through a barrage of images shared on social media, the Cleveland Browns unveiled their vision of what the franchise's future home could look like. 

The Browns are hoping to build a state of the art, new domed stadium that would cost roughly $2.4 billion to construct. The team is also keeping a $1 million renovation of its current stadium -- Cleveland Browns Stadium -- as an option, but it's clear the Browns would prefer to build a new stadium in Brook Park. 

"We need to be bold, we need to be innovative, and we need to take advantage of this unique moment to create a transformational project not only for our fans, but for Cleveland, the Northeast Ohio region and the State of Ohio," Dave Jenkins of the Haslam Sports Group wrote in the letter penned to Browns fans. 

The Brook Park site is the most compelling option for a dome for several reasons: its central location for our regional fan base, its proximity to downtown, the RTA and the airport, and its strong existing infrastructure. pic.twitter.com/T36yXZAm8q

As Jenkins alluded to, a new domed stadium would open the door for various opportunities for Cleveland and Northeast Ohio. It would open the door for the state's first Super Bowl, among other things. 

"This would be more than just a stadium project; it would also include a private development that when combined with the world-class dome stadium will be transformative for our region," Jenkins wrote.
