Say the city tells Mike Brown no. What's he going to do? The relocation fee for the teams moving to LA were $550m each. Is there even anywhere that is willing to pay 100% of the cost of giving Mike Brown a new stadium? Say he moves to a new city, and for the sake of conversation they agree to pay $850m of a new $1.4b stadium (the very deal that Buffalo just gave the Bills). That means Mike Brown is out $550m for his share of the new stadium and $550m for his relocation fee.
He's now spending $1.1b on moving and the city if Cincinnati sells the naming rights of Paul Brown Stadium and it becomes Paul Brown's Viagra Dong Medicine Stadium. Did he win? Can he even afford $1.1b to move the team to a new city and new stadium without losing controlling interest in the Bengals? I don't think he can.
After all this time of making team friendly deals for his organization after losing year after year.. Your now suggesting to me that Mikey can't get a deal with the county or another city for what he wants. After making an improbable run to a SB that energized a region! If you weren't laughing you'd be serious.
