I'm not sure what the best outcome is in this scenario because the organization is in a position of power now with both the taxpayers and the decision makers in Cincinnati. The renovations will costs upwards of a half a billion over time coming out of a lease in 2026 which a presidential election is in two years. No politics just reference to time flying. I'm really 60/40 now that these numbers have come out so I'm personally pro new stadium for future revenue to the team and city." Slightly" I can also understand both sides of the argument when you look at inflation currently and the unknown factors of time itself. Its a fascinating debate that goes on in many cities for various reasons. They say that winning cures everything so its nice to get the practice facilities upgraded to a championship level. At least the business relationship between the team and the city seems to be working and fluid. Go Bengals!
