Reason #273 - Lakefront Property

The Browns are out of the playoffs and Cleveland Browns Stadium is out of action until next August. We're wasting prime lakefront property except for 10 days a year.

Reason #272 - 7-1 at Home

The Browns have won seven home games in a season for the first time in their history. A dome would extend, not negate, the advantage.

Reason #271 - Domes Matter

The Browns' playoff hopes hinge on the Colts beating the Titans this weekend. That's right, a dome team playing at home in its dome will decide whether the Browns make the playoffs. Domes matter, especially in Cleveland.

Reason #270 - Golden Domer

The drumbeat for Brady Quinn to get some playing time this weekend is picking up. If the Golden Domer gets into the action, so should a silver dome.

Reason #269 - Bowl Game-Ready

Detroit is hosting the Motor City Bowl tonight. Attendance is about 60,000. What a positive that would be for Cleveland! Welcome to the inaugural Rock 'n' Roll Bowl!

Reason #268 - Super Bowl Hosting

Detroit and Minneapolis, with their domes, are the only cities north of Georgia, Texas and California to ever host a Super Bowl. Indianpolis and St. Louis domes hope to lure the big game someday. Why not Cleveland? We would be great hosts - but they won't come unless we have a roof.

Reason #267 - Rumors of Change

There are rumors - just rumors for now - that the Browns might be thinking about changing the design of their uniforms or helmets. If that tradition is up for discussion, a dome should be on the table as well.
