If we're talking about the Brown family moving the team, you have to remember that the team is their lone business.  There's going to be a honeymoon period whenever a team moves into a new market.  That means full stadiums no matter how bad the team is and higher ticket prices.  Right now, the average NFL ticket is $100 and the average Bengals ticket is $78, so you're basically losing $22 on every ticket you sell, not to mention the empty seats.  A new market also means a TON of merchandise sales.  That makes the team more profitable and makes it easier to reinvest in stuff like practice bubbles, increased scouting department, etc.
