In-depth look at the Failed Cleveland Dome Stadium Projects from the 1980s-1990s
On this episode of "Sabol Brothers on the Baseline," Scott and John dive deep in a topic many Cleveland sports fans don't know about - the Failed Cleveland Dome Stadium Projects from the 1980s through the early 90s. Form Ohio Governon Dick Celeste (1983-1991) and former Gateway Sports Complex (now known as Progressive Field and Rocket Mortage Fieldhouse) Executive Director Tom Chema breakdown what happen during those years.   Were the Indians ever close of moving out of town? Why didn't Cleveland end up building a dome for the Browns and Indians? How close were they of renovating Cleveland Municipal Stadium? Where would they have put a proposed dome? How then Jacobs Field and Gund Arena were built and why former Browns owner Art Modell decdied not to take up the city's offer of building a new stadium near the Indians and Cavs home? These question and more will be answered! With the Cleveland Browns currently evaluating their future in their current home, this episode comes at the perfect time to rehash what happened in Cleveland with potential dome stadiums and why some of the issues surrounding the Browns and the city then, are happening now in 2023.   Follow us on Twitter: Podcast: @SabolBrothers John: @John_Sabol Scott: @ScottSabolFox8   The Press Play Podcast Network Follow us on Twitter: @PressPlayPods For sponsorship plans and more information, please email admin@pressplaypodcasts.com Visit our website at www.pressplaypodcasts.com
