There's been a wave of new stadium construction in the NFL, with Buffalo's Highmark Stadium debuting this season, followed by the Titans' new Nissan Stadium next year. The Cleveland Browns are also hopping on that trend, and they plan to open their new stadium — New Huntington Bank Field — for the 2029 season. A scale model of the new stadium, which will open in the Cleveland suburb of Brook Park, Ohio, was unveiled on Monday. The high-tech showcase featured a virtual representation of the stadium's interior, but not everyone was impressed. Fans on X were quick to crack jokes about the futuristic and slightly brutalist architecture. NFL fans joke about Browns' new stadium model

I will be honest. It looks like a Prison with the Field being the Prison Courtyard. — wizardofoh (@wizardofohio) August 17, 2026 The majority of fans online, however, made the same joke — harkening back to the classic "Zoolander" bit.
