Since Mike B only knows money, I thought I might just post what I'm going to do with the $6750 I'm going to save by not getting season tickets again this year. Since I have dropped my ST's 5yrs ago, I have saved over $40,500 (estimated) from tickets, alcohol purchases, etc. And that doesn't include the often drunken trips to the pro-shop to invest more ridiculous money into the team souvenirs and apparel. So, with the savings this year, I have already invested it in a new floor for our home. Looks beautiful Mikey. A hellova lot better in my house than yours. In addition, the other 33k over the last five years prior has sported me funds for building a mancave (yes Bengal gear, so I still gave something) New furniture, new bedroom, new washer/dryer, house maintenance, etc.
So I wonder, what will the rest of you do with your savings from ST's let go, or planning on letting go if he continues to run this team like crap? I think next year I will invest a really sweet down payment on a new car for the wife unless she pisses me off too. If she does, I'm going to Craiglist and getting her a Pinto! HEHE!
More alcohol to help cope with what I believe will be another disappointing season.
Not a season ticket holder but wouldn't buy one anyway! If MB looked at an empty stadium every Sunday, do you think he would get the message?

It'll never be empty, never more than half empty, really, but even if it was, Mike still gets paid.
I have no idea how they keep their season ticket holder base.
This season is going to be a disaster regardless of whether they keep Whit and Z.
Being that I usually only go to a couple games a year (none for a while now), I will most likely save that cash this year. Last year we made a few extra trips to the water park, King's Island, etc.

There's revenue sharing in the NFL. It doesn't matter if the stadium is empty.
That said...we could be 3-13 for a long time and people will still go to games. It might not be a sell out...but people will go.
And to think that people will stop going to games after the team missed the playoffs once in the past 6 seasons...isn't reality. This is the golden age of Bengals football.

Better not be a golden age. Golden age implies the best it ever was and will be. This better be a bronze age.

We retired early with our ST savings and are now living the good life in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. The wife and I still go to a local watering hole to watch the games on Sunday but I am far less "mentally invested" than I would be if we still lived in Cincicrappy.

Just curious... how much were you spending on your seats?
