The Cleveland Browns legal challenge in federal court over its proposed move from downtown to Brook Park should be tossed out, the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and City of Cleveland argued on Wednesday.

To Case Western Reserve University law professor Eric Chaffee, there’s one big takeaway from Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s decision to enter the battle between the Cleveland Browns and the City of Cleveland. “It means the state is willing to take a side here — and it does want the Browns to remain in Cleveland,” Chaffee said.

The city of Cleveland has filed a lawsuit to stop the Browns from leaving their lakefront stadium and building a domed stadium in suburban Brook Park.
