Even taking a fraction of what the county has paid, and will pay, in maintinance would pay for a practice facilty multiple times over. And these are costs in addition to the actual construction. Expenses that many of their peers incur.

The actual dollars invested from organization are bottom of the barrel, embarassing, and approaching unethical.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!!! The troubles of the organization lie at the feet of ownership. Their miserly ways put them at a severe disadvantage with the rest of the league. Mike Brown is a billionaire. He got there on the backs of Hamilton County taxpayers and the fans. His refusal to provide similar facilities and amenities as his peers make an uncompetitive team a virtual pariah to free agents. There’s a reason the team resorts to signing troubled former first rounders and the Kerry Joseph’s of the league. Ownership is pathetically cheap, and skates by on the bare minimum while lining their pockets and paying family members to suck at their jobs.
