Lease Could Keep Cavaliers At Quicken Loans Arena Through '44
The Cavaliers "could play in Quicken Loans Arena" through '44 under "terms of the team's new lease." The Cavaliers' proposed $140M "transformation deal with Cuyahoga County and Cleveland included a provision to extend the current lease by seven years" to '34. But the "new deal also allows for two five-year renewal options." The 134-page lease also includes "details about the upgrades," which will be completed by Dec. 31, 2019, and the additional $92.8M in rent that "will be paid by the team over the next seven years" ( CLEVELAND.com, 11/16 ).
