(ONN) – The city of Cleveland is demanding that the Browns stop all work on their planned Brook Park stadium until their downtown lease expires in 2028.

In a new court filing, the city argues that any financing, construction or negotiations tied to a new stadium in Brook Park violates that lease.

This comes just days after a Cuyahoga County judge denied the Browns’ attempt to dismiss the city’s lawsuit aimed at blocking the relocation.

Meanwhile, the team is pushing forward in federal court, trying to keep its lawsuit alive challenging Ohio’s Modell Law.

The Haslam Sports Group says it needs a quick ruling to stay on track to break ground next year.
