It's horribly outdated. Nederlander (I think) has said they'll run it (of course) if the city pays to get it modernized but that has gained no traction.

It's sad, really. We need some sort of venue downtown like that that can host all of the events discussed earlier.

They could till get to downtown Cincinnati than people could get from close places like Beverly Hills, it took us an hour+ to get downtown and 1.5 hours to get to a parking garage, then another hour to shuttle. But we did it, they would for the event in our city as well.

Would they consider partnering with the Bengals to build a stadium in a place like Wilder, Ky which bring a both Lexington and Louisville into play for a larger fan base? Like I said earlier, build the stadium and the hotels and restaurants will follow. There is lots of land in these places to hand me the growth and the infra structure to handle the increased traffic

Otherwise it would fog up with all those people breathing inside it.

You have no idea what my buddy's spot is like and the fact that you even mentioned it here when I didn't just goes to show that you have no credibility.

As far a medical/rehab facility, we have an MRI machine but what else do we have?

They spent millions a couple of years ago expanding the weight room facilities at PBS

While I am sure your friend's place is top-notch it is very unlikely to compare to the facilities the Bengals have access to

Quote:A year ago, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow was only a couple of months into his recovery from a torn ACL. He spent most of that rehab time in Los Angeles, where he will find himself soon playing in Super Bowl 56.

I don't know about about Hopkins or Uzo, but Burrow did his rehab in LA:



I know they turned the indoor practice facility into field turf and acted like it made us top of the line.

From all the pictures that I can find, the improved weight room doesn't look that much better than a nice high school's.
