Don't tell me Mike Browns Family isn't now looking at St Louis, San Diego, Oakland or other cities as a possible move in the future. Something to bargain with to highest bidder as they blackmail somebody into a new stadium the next time. Riverfront opened in 1970 and by 1995 they said it was too old. 25 years. So Paul Brown stadium opened around 2000. Mark 2025 down as the Bengals and NFL say it is too old. Give or take a few years. Once we hit 2020 in 3 years, you will start hearing Brown Family considering a bigger area than Cincinnati. St Louis with the doomed stadium also would provide indoor practice and possible hosting of Super Bowl and other indoor events.  Do not rule out Bengals moving in 3 to 8 years time frame. San Diego and Oakland may become tempting. Look, if Miami and Dallas can play New York area teams and games in London, the NFL won't worry much about an AFC North team moving. They may even want Pittsburg playing in St Louis or San Diego or Oakland twice a year. From any of these cities Brown Family could put in bid to host Super Bowl and other major events non football.

The Raiders play in the worst stadium on the worst field in the NFL. Did they ever cover that baseball dirt infield ?.....Oakland really dragged it's feet on a new stadium, so yes, VIVA LAS VEGAS. This leaves the Brown Family salivating over these vacated bigger cities. I see the children of Paul and Mike Brown having cities in a new stadium bidding war in the very near future. The Brown Family got hit with that Inheritance Tax when Paul Brown died. I look for them to be pulling moves to dodge this more when Mike passes on, or at least have a very lucrative new city deal.
