Bengals have a really good team, but how many of the players outside of Burrow, Chase, and Higgins would the outsider NFL fan be able to name? Bengals roster has some underrated guys that just aren't big names.I am probably one of the odd ones here, but I have always had a great time flying across the country to watch a game. The people have always made it a very enjoyable experience. As for things to do in the stadium, ehh I couldn't care less. I am there to watch and yell, whatever, the game. I don't need the blinky neon lights or the fastest Wifi available. They have upgraded the concessions spots. So when people complain about the stadium, I am not sure what they are talking about?
2) Even if they have a good team on the field, it doesn't change the fact some see the ownership as cheap. Even if they did pay top dollar for some premier talent, some things like stadium quality are considered toward the bottom for NFL. For example, New York Times listed Paycor Stadium 27th out of 30 stadiums in the NFL.

Quality of the team and a franchise's frugality are not the same thing.
