You could potentially miss a practice due to inclement weather because of this.

That's a much bigger issue than pampered players.....although players want pampered too.  Same as employees want benefits and bonuses when a company really prospers.....

I can't recall one time practice weather has cost us a playoff or regular season win.

That is why I think it is a very weak argument. I get a sense our players want to be here. I did not feel that way 7 or 8 years ago (long time ago) when JJ left.

Takeo Spikes walked into the new facilities Thursday. A lady greeted him and asked him if she could help him navigate the facility. His response was a big yes as he stated this place has totally changed since he was last here as a Bengal player. Progress has been made and this year it appears major changes were made for the players to better weight facilities, to better break areas to a great indoor place to do a few drills and use for rehab.

They are going to use the practice fields 90 to 95% due to we don't play in a dome stadium so outside weather conditions have to be the norm for practice. The idea to spend 20 million to build and then a million a year to maintain a practice facility to me is a nice to have versus a must to have as they do have alternatives for the rare cases they can't go outdoors.
