Maybe I missed it, but still waiting for you to quantify with facts your 25% hotel occupancy if Bengals built a high rise casino/hotel by PBS. 

Again, you throw out a number you can't quantify. I was in the stands when we played Tennessee the day we got the after effects of a hurricane that passed through Texas days earlier. At halftime they put a tour boat on the Ohio river that almost capsized. The wind was horrid and when I got home roofs were blown off, that was a game in September that we lost. Also at a game against the Pats we won against Brady where a thunderstorm and driving rain hit in the 4th quarter when Brady was trying to drive to take the lead. We won that game, but weather definitely a factor. That is 2 games I thought of off the top of my head.

As for complaining about the weather just because you and your crowd like inclement weather to watch a games, you need to accept why you may be in the majority, it may not be as big a majority as you think. The Bengals sell out because they have maybe the best QB and WR in the NFL. I think back to our bad years and I owned 4 tickets. I could not give them away in December when we were out of the playoffs for a 40 degree dry game. 40 on th river is like 25 degrees.

Maybe try to refrain from pulling numbers out of your rear to support your arguments in the future, you seem to do it often.
