This whole thing could be a quid pro quo agreement. They city said “pay for the upgrade, and we wil talk about the lease agreement”.
The future money can come from a lot of places. This round, the bengals are spending. Wasting time bashing the bengals for investing $132,000,000 is silly.
I'm not bashing the Bengals. I said I'm not willing to sit here and bow down to them when they've invested 1/5th of the money needed for total renovations.
I can't sit here and assume they won't foot the bill, but you can't sit here and assume they will...especially based on the past stadium deals with the county.
There is still roughly 300-400 million needed for renovations.
The boys are just talkin' ball, babyyyy
