The Haslam Sports Group, owners of the Cleveland Browns, have unveiled plans for a new 54,000-square-foot music venue with a capacity of 3,000 to 4,000 people as part of their larger mixed-use development project in Brook Park, Ohio that includes a new indoor stadium slated to open in 2029.

Why it matters

The addition of a new music venue is part of a growing trend in the Cleveland area, with several other major concert and entertainment facilities either in development or recently announced. This suggests a push by local developers and sports teams to expand the region's live music and entertainment offerings, likely in an effort to attract more visitors and events to the area.

The details

The music venue is planned to be located right next to the new Browns stadium in Brook Park. While details are still limited, the Haslam Sports Group has confirmed it will be an indoor facility. The goal is to "attract more acts to the region" and complement existing major venues like Blossom Music Center, Rocket Arena, and Jacobs Pavilion.

  • The new Browns stadium is slated to open in 2029.
  • Bedrock and Rock Entertainment Group announced plans in 2026 for a new 6,200-seat outdoor amphitheater along the Cuyahoga River, set to open in spring 2028.
  • In December 2025, the city-created North Coast Waterfront Development Corp. announced plans to evaluate a 10,000-seat indoor/outdoor venue as part of Cleveland's development of 50 acres at the current stadium site downtown.
