The Cleveland Browns’ new stadium, named Huntington Bank Field, is set to open in 2029 with an average ticket price expected to exceed $200, excluding food and beverages. This information was shared by the team’s owner, Jimmy Haslam, during recent announcements regarding the expensive 67,500-seat development.

The new stadium will cost approximately $2.4 billion, and the design aims to flip the current seating ratio, providing more lower-level options compared to the existing venue. Seats in the lower sideline and corners are currently priced at about $200. Even though tickets have become more expensive, the upper deck is set to include more affordable seating options priced under $200 for fan accessibility.

To put current ticket prices in perspective, the average for Browns games currently ranges from $170 to $180, factoring in premium seating. For the 2025 season, the cheapest ticket prices will start at $70, indicating a minor increase of $5 from the previous year. With general price increases projected across the NFL, Cleveland’s average ticket price is anticipated to rise to $200 by the time the new stadium officially opens in 2029. Furthermore, it has been observed that ticket prices at newly constructed stadiums typically see a jump of 14% to 32% shortly after opening.

Beyond football games, the Browns plan to host a variety of major events at Huntington Bank Field. These include the Super Bowl, NCAA Final Fours, international soccer matches, and top concerts. The Haslam Sports Group has already submitted a bid to host matches for the 2031 Women’s World Cup, showcasing the stadium’s potential as an entertainment hub.

Construction of the new stadium is being overseen by a joint venture between AECOM Hunt and Turner Construction Company. Initial enabling work began on October 1, 2025, and groundbreaking is scheduled for early 2026. The Ohio Department of Transportation has issued a permit for the project following resolution of initial aviation height concerns.

The construction activities are expected to generate more than 6,000 jobs and will contribute additional full-time positions from the development surrounding the stadium. Local officials in Brook Park are optimistic that Huntington Bank Field will significantly improve the local economy, reviving the area’s prominence and offering substantial entertainment and economic benefits to the Northeast Ohio region.

The participation of well-known companies like Independence Excavating and the DiGeronimo Companies, which have longstanding experience in the region’s construction sector, further highlights the project’s local impact. The newly built facility will not only serve as a football stadium but will also feature a mixed-use entertainment district designed to boost local business and attract visitors.

The Haslam Sports Group’s President has mentioned that the economic and entertainment advantages of the Huntington Bank Field project are expected to be invaluable for Northeast Ohio. With the anticipated opening in 2029, Huntington Bank Field aims to leave a lasting impact on both the local community and the sports industry.
