There's also 48 days of total precipitation during football season. I don't blame this particular injury on practicing outdoors, but Cincinnati isn't exactly San Diego. We could use a facility.

We have more sub-zero days than that in February here in MT.

Any word on Core? I thought I saw a report that he was fine

From everything i have heard he should be fine for Training Camp.

Yeah one month + of bad winter weather is nothing compared to what I get up here in the snow belt in Michigan...but my point was that there are plenty of days where the Bengals should be using a facility. Basically 1 out of every 3 days is sub 20 degrees, with some form of precipitation every other day on average during the winter.

I'm not saying it's the worst winter on the planet, I'm just saying it's not San Diego. There's plenty of justification for a facility.

It's almost like you ignored the fact we are one of the healthiest teams in the league the past 3 years

Wow, were we really? Even last year?

Last year, it wasn't so much how many guys but who the guys were.

Hmm... Good point.

We don't practice in the middle of the night in winter when weather is coldest, but either your weather analysis is way off

Average highs are way above the 20's In January and Feb.

November and December is in the 50's in Nov. and mid 40's in December

A Core temperature discussion. S'okay, I'll see myself out.

We average 44 in December and 40 in January.

Quote:From November to March, Cincinnati can remain below freezing all day long. The city typically has 17 days a year when the temperature never rises above 32 °F.

Average snowfall is 14 inches...all during the football season.

Although this article from WCPO says there is typically 16 inches of snow in January, February and March alone.

Now you're not relying on my weather analysis. This isn't even getting into all the days of rain they get. Considering all of the above, there are plenty of reasons to have a facility, and plenty of teams in far better climates have one.
