1. Letting fans vote for 50 top players on the team site. Costs the Bengals nothing and is about as fun as watching paint dry and grass grow at the same time.
2. Finally paying some attention to former greats, which is a baby step in the right direction. Hopefully these players don't have to pay for their own flights.
3. Some amateur looking oversized uniform patch.
4. Picking a small handful of season ticket holders to be on the field for ceremonies. The only fans they pretend to care about...simply because they offer the most money.
5. Mike Brown suggesting that "someday" someone "may" feel differently than him about a player HOF. I guess he's about as "keen" on that as he is a practice facility.
...and that's pretty much it. This is sooo Mike Brown. No thought, money or effort put in, but that won't stop someone from defending crap. I'm surprised no one has jumped in the thread yet to tell us all how grateful we should be.
The biggest part of the "celebration" seems to be honoring some players at half time and allowing certain season ticket holders to take part in on field activities. The great irony here is that many teams do both on a regular basis... so basically the big plans are to do a few things that everyone else already does
