The Cleveland Browns and the City of Cleveland released a joint statement regarding repairs at FirstEnergy Stadium on Thursday.

"We have established a positive relationship, we are working together, and we have had open dialogue regarding the necessary stadium repairs. In its 15th season, the stadium is in obvious need of significant maintenance, similar to any sports venue of comparative age. We are working through our next steps and expect to have a more detailed approach soon."

Earlier this week, Cleveland.com reported that the Browns were seeking $120 million in upgrades to the facility.
