"The staff itself is well liked, and players credit head coach Zac Taylor for recent improvements that have been made – which speaks to why he grades out as one of the most well-liked coaches in the NFL by his players. However, the facilities and resources offered are ranked far below average.

The Bengals are one of three teams that do not provide dinner to their players; they are also one of two teams that do not provide vitamins, and they are the only team that doesn’t provide supplements. Additionally, players feel that they have some of the smallest hot/cold tubs in the league; they have issues with the showers and toilets not consistently working, and they are the only team that does not have outlets in their lockers to charge devices.

The players who responded to the survey also complained that there is nowhere warm and safe for mothers and kids to go during the game because the Bengals do not provide a family room, unlike the majority of teams. Players reported that wives have sat on the public restroom floor to nurse their babies.

These examples are consistent with players’ opinions, with only 44% of respondents believing club owner Mike Brown is willing to spend money to make the facility better, ranking him tied for 29th in this category."

The fact that it's a player's wife should have no bearing in this instance. Why should they be treated differently than other fans? I'm pretty sure they make enough to pay for a sitter for about 4 hours. Now I'm not saying a nursing room is not a good idea, but it shouldn't be restricted to players' wives. 

IMO if the kid is young enough to nurse, he/she is too young to enjoy the game. Leave it with a qualified sitter in a safe/secure environment.
