Browns make case to host Super Bowl at stadium groundbreaking ceremony

BROOK PARK, Ohio — The Cleveland Browns have never played in a Super Bowl, but they’re hoping to host one in the near future.At the official groundbreaking for the new and enclosed Huntington Bank Field on Thursday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told the crowd that he has “no doubt” that the Browns’ new stadium will be “Super Bowl quality.” But Goodell said Northeast Ohio’s chances of eventually hosting a Super Bowl will depend upon the region having enough hotel rooms and the infrastructure to handle what he estimated could be an influx of more than 200,000 people for the league’s premier event.Advertisement
