The Cleveland Browns are not moving training camp to Columbus.
In a statement released by the team after Wednesday’s practice, the Browns announced that they would remain in Northeast Ohio for training camp “for the immediate future.”
“After evaluating all aspects and conversations about potential training camp sites, we have decided to keep training camp in Berea for the immediate future,” said Peter John-Baptiste, the Browns’ vice president of communication.
“While we greatly appreciate the efforts of and our discussions with representatives from the City of Columbus, Franklin County and Ohio State University, we believe it is best for our football team, our organizational goals and our fans to continue to host training camp in Northeast Ohio.”
For several years, the Browns have made inroads into moving at least part of their training camp to Columbus and legislation actually was brought up with regard to publicly financing much of the costs to build a facility required to house an NFL franchise for a month-long session.
The Browns held their annual Orange and Brown Scrimmage at Ohio Stadium in Columbus in 2015 and 2016.
