It was predicted to be open in November. I guess the good weather allowed a faster timeline. Zac says the team will use it on Friday

Zac Taylor said the Bengals are using thier new indoor bubble for the first time on Friday. It’s ready early.

Using it to help simulate indoors in NOLA.

LOVE IT!

Let's hope it gets our players in good spirits to help them go down to NOLA and hand the Saints their asses!

Well this is the temporary practice bubble right? Aren't they building an actual indoor practice facility?

yes,this is the temporary facility.  A permanent one is in on the agenda but probably won't happen until 2024 due to the logistics of moving the concrete facility, cleaning up the land, and then the whole building process

Yeah.  Playing in an inflated temporary equivalent of a golf dome really should get these guys excited. 

  Just like my daughters pre school on  wear your pajamas to school Friday. 

It's a start.

Cool.

First look inside.

LOVE IT! 

Players seem happy about it, so, like I keep saying, let's hope that practicing in it subconsciously makes them practice harder and being more comfortable practicing helps them improve!

They still have some space issues. The kickers had to move outside to practice

Probably affects the return teams too, but how much practice does Trent Taylor need raising his right hand on PRs

Bengals coach Zac Taylor on the indoor bubble: "It was great. It was awesome. Players, I think, were really impressed. I know the coaches were impressed."

Very clear that having an indoor practice option is a massive asset the Bengals now have.

"It was awesome." Zac Taylor on indoor facility "Plenty functional. As good as I've ever had."

I presented up in Cinci today and drove past it on the way up there and it looks good, especially for a temporary facility!

I’m sure with the bungles luck it will never happen. Jimmy Hoffa is probably buried there, once they start cleaning up they’ll find his remains, it’ll get closed and become a national landmark. ??‍♂️

Agreed.  And I think it was awesome that they were able to (probably lease) acquire the land right by the stadium.  Yes, it was long overdue, but I love that it is here and I hope the players stay healthy and motivated when the weather turns.  

My buddy is on his way to New York to go salmon fishing and just sent me a photo of it minutes ago.

Very happy to see this finally happening.
