Bobby George and the Cleveland Browns will join forces to open a new sportsbook on East Fourth Street in downtown Cleveland, overcoming what seemed like long odds for a sports betting lounge at Harry Buffalo’s current location.
George said the sportsbook will be part of a new entertainment concept and will open within a year. The Harry Buffalo will move to a new space downtown, he said.
The Browns announced the plan in a news release Saturday afternoon. The team said its sports-betting partner, Bally Bet, would also be involved and that it would be called the Bally Bet Sportsbook.
Initially, George and the Browns planned to open their own, separate sportsbooks.
