At the risk of disrupting a good indoor facility debate, can someone point me a quote that states FC Cincinnati is building an indoor facility? Cincyjungle seems to be the ones to have started this indoor talk, but the talk from Jeff Berding they use as reference says nothing about an indoor facility. The talk is of a "practice complex," but those tend to be outdoor facilities in soccer.
Also, and just to diffuse a touch of the rhetoric, the planned facility would be for an MLS FC Cincinnati. The USL version of FC Cincinnati isn't building anything. It's not a huge deal, but I think some have been extra mad that the Bengals are more bush league than even a "minor league" soccer team.
Quote:Also Friday, Berding said the club has plans to build a $25 million suburban training facility. The site has not been chosen, but the club has talked to government officials in Clermont, Warren and other surrounding counties. Wherever the club chooses to build a practice complex, FC Cincinnati wants the local government to play a part in investing around the facility. That investment could include a hotel and restaurants, Berding said.
