If the Bengals left I think/hope it would mean more support for UC football and FC Cincinnati.(I don't really care for soccer, but I know a lot of people here in town do)

 Those are two teams that are derserving of all of the support they receive.  If the Browns/Blackburns bolted then just means more attention will be paid to teams who actually are doing everything they can to be successful.  More attention means more dollars, and that definitely wouldn't be a bad thing for my UC Bearcats.

Let's make sure we have the facts. The federal government paid a lot more for PBS and Great American Park than residents of Hamilton County.

How? Read the article. In fact, the stadium is paid by the collection of an additional sales tax in Hamilton County so anyone from any county, any city or any state that buys anything in Hamilton County is paying.

So, I hear arguments all the time about the residents pay so much and they do pay, but so do a lot of others, and once you read the article, it makes it clear PB is a genius financially getting the entire US population to pay for a stadium in Cincinnati and the Reds did the same thing so maybe Beddinhouse was the genius.

As for following them, if no new team I would switch to Indy and hope we get a team here again. No way I would follow them to another city if the ownership is the same.
