The roof would still allow some games to use the elements while giving many more uses for the stadium year round.
I do not know if hey have land needed to build a new stadium without getting rid of Paycor first. If they did, to me a grea plan would be to buiild the new retaractible roof stadium. Once it is completed, build a 40 story hotel where Paycoe sits right now.This additional hotel space would help us attract more events like a Super Bowl game, final fours and concerts to help the city. county and team to recoup their investment. They could own the hotel and hire a management company to operate it. If not own, that land is expensive and I am sure there would be a hotel that would love to build an iconic hotel right by the new stadium, and very close to US bank, GABP and the west side new soccer fcility.
The 40 story hotel be equipmed with 8 to 10 restaurants and multple bars, even shopping. The parking could be undeground and help with game or event day parking as well.
It won't happen, but that woud be my desired outcome.
I think both the bengals and the county did the correct thing..Paycor is in great shape..we could use some larger scoreboards and of course a permanent indoor practice fiel..plus being on the river is exceptional..Cincinnati simply does not have the hotel and ammenty infrastructure and nobody is going to invest in a 40 story super hotel..nonsense
