Just for the record as a season ticket holder the stadium doesn't appear run down to me. I can easily see it going another 20 years.
I'm just one of those people who like new shiny stuff :)
I would have loved to see a fancy new domed stadium, but I'm not one who is using my tax money to pay for it.
Glad they got it resolved.
Now turn your attention to Trey and Shemar, please.

He's unsigned along with 30 other 2nd RD picks. but unlike our 1st rounder he's been participating in off-season activities

Same reason as Shemar?

No, 1st rounders' contracts are usually fully guaranteed with a clause for doing stupid off-field stuff like Henry Ruggs (an extreme example). Shemur wants his guarantee without the clause. 2nd-rounders are never fully guaranteed, as they are more apt to wash out due to on-field issues. Houston fully guaranteed the contract of the kid taken #2 in the 2nd round; now all 2nd-rounders want the same
Does anyone know if the State of Ohio is contributing monies to Stadiums for Bengals and/or Browns? I thought that I read the State was going to chip in.

So far from what I understand he county is kicking in $350 million of the $470 million and the Bengals $120 million. From the article I think the county is trying to get their cut from the unclaimed funds proposal. I don't think it has all been approved yet. Looks like the county is also considering a cigarette tax as part of the budget and will perhaps draw funds from that as well.
I guess the cigarette tax makes sense because the smokers will never make it long enough to see the Bengals win a Super Bowl anyway.

I guess we will wait and see then, I thought it had been approved.

I could be wrong on it all be finalized I'm really tired today so my focus is less than usual and it is usually not that good anyway. :)
