Columbus is one of the largest cities in the country, and still growing.  There is some crazy stat I heard at a Nationwide Children's Medical Conference that Columbus is within 6 hours of something like 75% of the nation's population (although that doesn't seem realistic). 

The one scenario I could see is Columbus as that city could probably build the stadium and still be close enough to Cincy that it wouldn't cause too much of an uproar.  

That being said, I sure as hell hope it doesn't happen.  FWIW, I don't think the Brown family will move the team.  This is the family that turns down significant money for naming rights to the stadium to remain named in honor of the team's founder.  If it were a big corporate type ownership, I think they would move.  This might be one of the only times being a mom-and-pop organization favors the team.
