This is why Mike Brown will likely make the big change. It was painfully noticeable on Monday night, against the Steelers of all teams, with the playoffs on the line, and the media doesn't take into account the free tickets given away.

We used to always count on a sellout for Steelers games. During the worst of times. Even if 40% were Steeler fans.

The city just doesn't care anymore.

It's a sad state for the Franchise, but Brown has no one to blame but himself. His refusal to breathe life into this team, and make the change after the 2015 meltdown has turned fans off. This is a big offseason.

Here's an interesting question I have for people: Would you still be a fan of the Bengals if they got a new owner but that owner moved the team? I think I actually would since I would know it's not the Brown family running things. Better than rooting for Cleveland, Pittsburgh, or Indianapolis IMO.
