The Bengals lost a lot of season tickets holders the past 2 years. I see FC Cincy soccer taking a lot more in coming years. The season ticket sales will tell the story next year, I predict another 30% decline in season tickets. My guess is team will have gone from peak of 50+K to under 30,000 season tickets essentially guaranteeing stadium in 2019 to be a little over half full on game days.
