Buffalo's stadium was built in 1973

Yeah, so it was about 25 years older than PBS.  Which means in maybe 20 years the Bengals get a new stadium?  I think PBS is just fine and an indoor practice facility will be really nice for the team, but there are just some basic design flaws with PBS that I wish they could remedy, but isn't realistic without an entire redo.

State dollars for a new stadium?  Is that a first?  I am sure there would be a huge uproar here, especially outside the greater Cincinnati area if state taxes were increased to pay for a new stadium.   Regardless, it is something we won't likely be facing for some time.
