Even if home games are only 10 days a year (though people will travel and stay for the whole weekend) I think folks are underestimating how good it is to have an NFL franchise in Cincinnati. That said, the city should fight to spend/lose as few tax dollars as possible. That's reasonable. But also, lets not pretend like the Bengals are replaceable. Maybe people shouldn't say that out loud too often or anything because letting the team have all the leverage in negotiations isn't healthy but at least we should kind of know that is true.
On the other hand (other other hand?) , I think that game day and the presence of the stadium and crowds on game day can actually be an inconvenience or a pain to people in Cincinnati in other ways. And it can strain local services. So there are a lot of things to factor in.
lol@ "game day and the strain on our services"...there's not a lot to factor
