Mr Brown wants to keep all of the Bengals facilities together...downtown. Therefore the only place available to build an indoor practice facility is the Bengals practice field. But, that location can't be built on. Not only are they dealing with the highway and other roads but apparently a large number of buried utility lines underneath the lot with no place to move them.
Maybe when Mr. Brown dies, Katie and Troy will consider the suburbs or NKY as a location for building
I've said all-along that we should be using the indoor practice facility, weight room, and other rehab and exercise options at Griffin Elite here in Northern Kentucky. It's only a 15 minute drive from the stadium and I'm positive my friend that owns it would give them a decent price. I'm not sure how many players still live in Northern Kentucky but it would obviously be a lot easier for them and I feel pretty confident in saying that this place is even better than UC's.
I am glad that we do have UC's to practice in because this weather is a ***** and it's pouring rain now and is supposed to keep going for the next day and a half.
(There's a few soccer-size fields, so it's larger than just that picture.)
Oh, and the turf at their indoor field is the same as in Paul Brown, which makes me think that he already had thoughts of the Bengals practicing there when he built it..........
