We have a brand new soccer stadium and the 11 cities in the US they chose were all the big and coastal cities (and Kansas City, which is outdoors, but kind of seems like a pity selection for the interior of the country more than anything). Cincinnati just isn't a particularly tempting location for some of those big events.

As for the NFL draft, in 2023 it was in Kansas City (outdoor stadium), in 2021 it was in Cleveland (outdoor stadium), and in 2019 it was in Nashville (outdoor stadium). The draft has nothing to do with having a roof on your stadium.

You are right that it would be a bigger concert venue, but I don't think that or any other events would be worth the couple hundred million it would cost taxpayers to put a roof on the 23-year-old stadium.

Yep the draft doesn't take place at the stadium at all.

Nashville was great. The stage was set up right at the end of Broadway.
