The house that Burrow built

Not sure how much longer the team lease with the city is but pretty cool to think about. All the talk recently seemed to be Cincinnati Bengals moving to London after the lease is up. Maybe things are changing. Stadium with a retractable roof omg that would be awesome. Potentially hosting Super Bowls, national championships, and final fours. Incredible to think about.

This is a legitimate question.  The Bengals aren't likely to leave Cincy, especially for London.  The NFL realized they made a mistake giving a team to Jacksonville and they were rumored the most to London.  

Nonetheless, a new stadium is a realistic question.  I think PBS cost around $440 million.  That is chump change compared to most newer arenas.  

I don't think it will happen very soon, but I could see a push being made in a couple years to start drawing up funding.  I hope this time around they make a dome.  It could be open at one end like Lucas Oil, or even retractable, but that seems like such a massive added expense...plus repairs.  I would hope for a stadium like Lucas Oil and then they could have SO MANY MORE events like concerts, college games, etc.  

I don't live in that county and people get so up in arms over something that likely cost them around $200 per person.  I would gladly take a tax hike for a new stadium.  They could practice in it as well, eliminating the need for a new practice facility.  

I would love to see a 60,000 seat stadium with state of the art facilities attached.  I won't hold my breath, but Joe Burrow is going to absolutely make this franchise enough money to afford it.
