Could the Bengals leave Cincinnati after next year?

Multiple emails that we obtained between the county to the Bengals over the last several months show a growing tension over budgets, requested improvements and the process of it all. Read them here: https://t.co/ceqJyhVg9j pic.twitter.com/kKB5ARDMkZ

Sounds pretty contentious. Can’t really blame the county one bit. Dealing with that family (especially Troy Blackburn) has to be insufferable.

I might have actually cared a bit back when games were more affordable to go to, before Bengals games became the 7th most expensive to go to in the NFL. Or before the NFL got around $20b in revenue last year and still rising.

Partial public financing of a stadium made a little bit of sense when the NFL was an owner's ~1/64th share of the NFL revenue in the early 00's was under $70m/yr. A $455m stadium is a bigger deal then. Now an owner's ~1/64th share of the revenue is over $300m/yr and only shooting up? Pay for your own damn stadium and if that means you move, so be it.
