Takeaways- Paul Brown Stadium viable for several decades

Indoor practice facility an issue of logistics not desire.  Not enough land in their current location.  They would need 30 acres which would take them to the suburbs which say would move employees out of downtown.  That doesn't make sense.  Their 'work station" is still the team offices at PBS which would keep their paychecks and subsequent taxes in Cincinnati regardless of where they actually preformed their duties.  Unless Troy is hinting if they built an indoor facility in the 'burbs they would move the team offices there.

It really wouldn't make sense to build, heat, maintain, etc a new building like that without moving the team offices.  You basically have to move the coach's and trainers offices there, which means most of the people that deal with player personnel would need to go there, too.  

It creates some other issues.  During TC, they house players in one of the big downtown hotels.  That becomes impractical.  It can also lead to issues if players or coaches want to stay late and study film when dealing with the team hotel curfew.
