We don't have one and have been one of the better teams in the league for the last 6 years. If you want me to spend $25+ million dollars you've better have a damn good reason to back up this kind of expense. All anyone can really suggest is that it couldn't hurt. It couldn't hurt me to build a home gym but I go to the gym down the road several times a week and it's cheap. Having one in my house couldn't hurt, but is it really worth it?
And I've never said he can't afford one. All I have said is he isn't nearly as liquid as many posters here seem to think. He doesn't have a billion dollars sitting around just because his franchise is estimated to be worth that much
Personally, if mike is prepared to spend more money on this team I'd prefer he do it to hire a good HC or put money into the stadium that taxpayers built. Maybe investing that $25 million for a starter fund for the next stadium. I'd say all of those would be better choices for the money than a practice facility. Like others have said the bengals do use other local facilities at times, keep doing that
Going a bit off topic here but YES a home gym is worth it. I recently made the splurge (wasn't all that expensive really, use Craigslist and garage sales. People practically give equipment away) and made one of our spare rooms into a home gym. Complete with a weight bench, pull up bar, squat rack, barbells, weight plates, curl bar, adjustable dumbells, a treadmill and a stair climber. Goodbye to gym membership payments, overcrowded lines for equipment, musty locker rooms, people who don't understand what deodorant is for, loud meat heads, mouth breathers, ignorant personal trainers and "crossfitters". I've had this setup for about 5 months now and it's by far the best investment I've ever made. I highly recommend it
