I've lived in Cincinnati for 35+ years. I vaguely remember the Reds winning in 1990. I have no memory of the Bengals going to the Super Bowl.
Cincinnati markets itself as a baseball town first but also a massive High School football town. The GCL is one of the best leagues in the country and regularly draw thousands of people on Friday nights. I remember going to a sold out Nippert Stadium for a playoff game (35,000 fans for high school!). The interest in football is here. The problem is that the Bengals have been bad for so long that we have basically alienated an entire generation, bordering two generations, of Bengal fans. However, like I said earlier, this city is so desperate for a winner that the fans would come back in droves. You sort of saw this with FCC when they were winning in the USL.
