Modernization is nice, but I despise private equity getting involved. I dislike private equity firms significantly more than the Brown family.
The family is a huge pain in the ass to the fans, but they hate change. They (the older ones anyway) seem to have little to no inclination to leave Cincinnati if they can avoid it. The more private equity gets it's hooks into ownership, the more likely that decisions will be made with increasing profit as the sole factor. This gradually will motivate them to maximize their money in a larger market. These groups, like the family will have zero attachment to the city and a lot more agility when it comes to business dealing.
I'm not sure the sky is falling, but this isn't the best for fans of teams like the Bengals.
