I don’t live in Cincinnati so I don’t have a say.  In Indianapolis, I think we are still paying a Hoosier Dome/RCA Dome tax and Lucas Oil has been around 13+ years.

We are ranked 2nd to last in your article link, but for good reason. The fan experience is much cheaper. Here’s a short article comparing what fans pay to go to a game around the league: https://www.thestreet.com/personal-finance/where-nfl-fans-pay-most-least-to-see-game-2021

Unfortunately, since we’ve sucked, the stadium had trouble selling the experience and fan gear. Although I think there’s some revenue sharing. But it has to play a part in the value of the team.
