The stadium is the stadium and won't change dramatically so it doesn't really matter, but I'd love to see a hybrid approach similar to LA where the stadium is covered but it's open air. This gives us a bit of both worlds where you still get the colder temperatures but keeps the elements like rain and snow off the playing surface, especially if the league does shift back to natural surfaces over time.
Coming back full circle to original intent of the thread, this is a solid contribution to the investment. People want to act like the team should spend more, and maybe they should, but it also comes back to supply and demand. There are tons of cities who would cover the whole expense and more to get the Bengals to leave Cincinnati for them. It's not really that much different to what states/cities do to attract large businesses to their area this one is just a bit more public in nature.
