The Cleveland Browns stadium talk has been the news of the 2024 offseason. After the Super Bowl was over in February, every team looked to start building up for the fall, and the Browns were doing it with a lot of drama about where they would be playing football down the road.
This winter, reports emerged that Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam bought land in the nearby city of Brook Park and that the Browns would build a dome there in the future.
No one in Brown’s organization has made an official announcement, but on Tuesday, they received news about the current stadium’s name.
Cleveland Browns Made A Change To The Stadium
The Browns hosted a special announcement on Tuesday, stating that the Cleveland Browns stadium will be called Huntington Bank Field for the next 20 years.
Cleveland ended their naming rights with FirstEnergy last season, so they needed a new sponsor, and Huntington Bank came in and got the rights.
Huntington Bank will also become the Brown’s official banking partner.
Your second home has a new name.

Huntington Bank released a statement about being the new home of the Cleveland Browns.
“We are thrilled to reach a long-term partnership agreement with Ohio’s own Huntington Bank,” said Dee and Jimmy Haslam, Cleveland Browns Managing and Principal Partners. “Huntington Bank has a long-standing reputation of excellence and they continue to grow both regionally and nationally, while keeping their roots here in Ohio. Giving back to the community and a focus on education are two of the many attributes that bond our organizations, and we look forward to working with Huntington to make positive impacts in Northeast Ohio and beyond. We’re excited to call the home of the Cleveland Browns Huntington Bank Field.”
Many Cleveland Browns fans took to social media to give their thoughts on the new stadium name, and many weren’t happy.
