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.
Without the falling roof bolts...
