Quotes from that article:





This is our team leader saying this. He's just one of many players that has expressed frustration about playing outdoors in inclement weather. Marvin Lewis clearly wants one, and there were rumors (circulated by the team) that they were planning to build one:

Yet 5 years later and still no word. So to sum this up:

- Our HC wants a practice facility.
- Our players want one and suggest that inclement weather does affect their performance in practice
- The Bengals said in the past that they were planning to build one.
- At least 29 or 30 teams currently have facilities that they can always access.
- Mike Brown has said he has "a desire to build one, though not as keen". Meaning he doesn't think it's very important, at least not as important as money.

If you don't want a practice facility, you're on the same side as Mike Brown. Is that ever a good thing?
