I am hoping their Ohio roots keep them here... it is going to be an uphill battle though with the 2nd smallest market in the NFL to keep them.With LA gone here are the Cities that have a chance to steal the Bengals away from Cincinnati. None of them are Home runs for ownership over Cincinnati.
London
Positives- New Stadium, Big Market(western Europe)
Negatives- Travel, Taxes, interest?, Jaguars have a built-in market
San Antonio
Positives- Texas loves Football, Tax payer Stadium
Negatives- Cowboys empire
Toronto-
Positives- Canada Market
Negatives- would have to build stadium with own money
Orlando
Positives- Bigger Market, NFL quality Stadium
Negatives- 3 teams in Florida already and a tourist town.
St.louis
Positive- Bigger Market than Cincy
Negatives- Been screwed by the NFL multiple times
San Diego-
Positives- great City, Super Bowl City,
Negatives- Crowded market with Chargers and Rams 100 miles away + privately funded stadiums
Northern California(Oakland or Sacramento)
Positives- Bigger Market
Negatives- private fund stadiums + 49ner territory
Those are the biggest options for relocation. Out of all those cities none of them really concern me as overly enticing to leave Cincinnati for. If I were to say the biggest worries would be St Louis, Orlando, and San Antonio but all of those seem Longshots.
Also I think eventually we will see a mass expansion in the 2030s going from 32 to 40 teams.
