Enjoy the Bengals while it lasts

I find it amazing that people think Cincinnati is a small market.

According to this link https://www.statista.com/statistics/183600/population-of-metropolitan-areas-in-the-us/, if you count down, Cincinnati metro area is the 30th largest in the US.

San Diego is 60% larger and is about the size of the Tampa area (where I live). Pittsburgh and Las Vegas are microscopically larger than Cinci.

Cleveland, Indy and KC are slightly smaller than Cinci.

New Orleans, Carolina, Milwaukee, Buffalo and Jacksonville are much smaller.

Is it the market size or is it a failure to deliver what the people want?

It's a question that has to be asked.
