I'm still trying to understand how Cincinnati is somehow a worse destination than places like Detroit, Cleveland, or Buffalo.
DET gets to play in a dome, but everything else is worse.
CLE really is a more miserable city than southern Ohio, and they've lost far more than the Bengals the past two decades.
BUF also is not growing. I was there this past Summer visiting family. Other than seeing Niagara Falls and maybe the short hop over to Toronto, there's not much in BUF other than some good food.
Plus, the weather is terrible in all three of those other cities compared to Cincy.

I don't really understand the narrative that the franchise is terrible either.
Sure, there's no indoor practice facility right next door owned by the Bengals, but they only need to use it a few times a year, so I don't think it's a big deal to share with UC.
The stadium itself, while lacking some features, shouldn't really matter to the players.
