It is about money, but players know that things like winning means more money for them and that it's less likely that they're cut if they make up a good part of the core because no team is going to blow up the roster if they're winning.

Also, if a team is offering close to the same amount of money, then things like a practice bubble and how players are treated definitely comes into play.

A stadium between here and Lexington or Louisville wouldn't really work because there's just not enough in between Northern Kentucky and those two besides for farms.

You'd also alienate the fans that live in Cincinnati and paid for Paul Brown.

It would also take tax dollars out of Cincinnati and kill a lot of business for downtown and the surrounding areas.

I think we can all agree that for the vast majority of the last 30 years - this team has not been very well run, and not much of a FA destination. 

Under early Palmer,  I think you saw a little window of what that could be - but that quickly fizzled.   Just think of some of the Biggest FAs they signed in the 2000s-2010's

Laverneous Coles
Antonio Bryant
Brandon Lafell
Antwon Odom
Pac Man
AJ Hawk
Cedric Benson
The Law Firm

A lot of end of career/dwindling vets and character risks/talented underperformers. 

Now, with Burrow, we are a destination team for anyone, regardless of where they are in their career, to win. 

IMagine being in your prime and coming to a team to win, with Dalton as your QB.  Lol

Having an indoor practice facility boosts the quality of play and also the comfort of the players, as well as making players know that the team is dedicated to winning and is first class.

If we're the first visit for a player or even one of the firsts, they're going to want to see that they'll be in comfort and that we're dedicated to the team and winning, both of which a practice bubble helps to show.
