Cleveland, OH
Browns and Huntington Bank announce 20-year partnership that includes stadium naming rights
As part of the new partnership, Huntington Bank, a super-regional bank headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, will also become the team’s official and exclusive banking partner. The partnership strengthens both organizations’ shared vision and long-standing commitment to the Cleveland community and broader region.
“The Cleveland Browns are iconic in American sports and a globally recognized brand,” said Steve Steinour, Huntington Bank chairman, president and CEO. “Huntington Bank is thrilled to create this partnership and make this investment in the Cleveland Browns and Northeast Ohio. This is also a pivotal moment for us as it gives us a high-profile platform to elevate our brand nationally.”
Like the Browns, Huntington has deep roots in Ohio, where it was founded in 1866. The naming of Huntington Bank Field makes the bank the anchor investor in the existing or new home of the Browns for the next 20 years. Through this partnership, NFL audiences in markets around the country will begin to see the reputation Huntington has built over the last 158 years.
“Whether in the existing stadium or a new one, the Browns’ commitment to Northeast Ohio will continue to spur significant economic growth and development for years to come, and we are excited to be a part of that future,” Steinour added.
“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.”
Ultimately, this partnership will extend beyond the Huntington Bank Field name as the Browns and Huntington intend to launch new and dynamic ways to strengthen communities and neighborhoods across Northeast Ohio.
The first game at Huntington Bank Field will be played on September 8 as the Cleveland Browns take on the Dallas Cowboys for “America’s Game of the Week” on FOX at 4:25 pm ET.
The Cleveland Browns worked with global premium experiences company Legends to secure and negotiate this partnership with Huntington Bank.

Cleveland-Cliffs is reiterating its interest in buying unionized mills that U.S. Steel is threatening to close should its takeover by Japan’s Nippon Steel get blocked by President Joe Biden.
While the White House has said it’s waiting to hear from the Committee on Foreign Investments in the United States, or CFIUS, as to potential national security concerns presented by the deal before making a decision, Cleveland-Cliffs applauded reports that Mr. Biden is ready to derail the merger.
“Our industry is best served by American companies that are committed to the long-term prosperity of domestic manufacturing, supported by good paying union jobs, under American ownership, Cleveland-Cliffs CEO Lourenco Goncalves said in a statement Thursday. “Cleveland-Cliffs stands ready to immediately acquire and invest in any and all union-represented assets that U.S. Steel shuts down, protecting union jobs and investing in the future livelihoods and communities in which the facilities operate.”
The CEO’s statement helped revive U.S. Steel’s stock, which on Friday was up more than 5% and trading at $31.50 a share.
U.S. Steel stock had plunged after Vice President Kamala Harris added her voice to those who support keeping the iconic company domestically owned and operated at a Labor Day event in Pittsburgh on Monday. Shares caved further after reports that Mr. Biden is readying to formally block the proposed more than $14 billion acquisition, possibly in the coming days.
U.S. Steel moved to salvage the deal, saying it would have to close mills represented by the United Steelworkers (USW) union if the acquisition by Nippon Steel does not go through. The USW opposes the merger, but supported a rejected offer by Cleveland-Cliffs for U.S. Steel.
Based in Cleveland, Ohio, Cleveland-Cliffs is already acquiring Canadian steelmaker Stelco Holdings for $2.8 billion.
CLEVELAND, Ohio – A judge Friday set the bond at $5 million for a man accused of driving the SUV that struck and killed a 7-year-old boy as he rode his skateboard in a parking lot.
Cleveland Municipal Judge Ann Clare Oakar ordered the bond during Donald Mynatt’s first appearance. Federal marshals arrested Mynatt, 32, of Cleveland, in Willoughby on Tuesday.
Cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer reached out to Mynatt’s attorney, Bret Jordan, for a comment.
Mynatt is accused of leaving the scene of an accident involving a death. Authorities said Mynatt was at the wheel of a black Mercedes Benz SUV when it struck Amir Prewitt in the parking lot of Lakeshore Beach Apartments in North Collinwood on Aug. 16 as the boy rode his skateboard.
Police said Mynatt dragged Amir underneath the vehicle and refused to stop.
Amir was transported to Euclid Hospital in a private vehicle, where he later died. The SUV later was found abandoned.
Cuyahoga County prosecutors are expected to take Mynatt’s case to a grand jury in a matter of days. The charges are expected to be upgraded to first-degree felonies.
The high bond that Oakar set is somewhat typical for those charged with serious felonies, according to court documents. Authorities had filed a request for a high bond in the case, as Mynatt had eluded authorities for weeks.
Amir would have been a second-grader at St. Thomas Aquinas School in Cleveland this fall, according to published reports.
