The main point I will always go to.. is many larger cities/metro areas have a much larger fan base to drawn from that not even most of those teams as selling out week to week . If the Bengals get push it back to 85 percent over the next couple years that will be better than 90 percents of the Big Cities for sure...
You're not taking into account that we also have one of the smallest stadiums in the NFL, and our percentage of tickets sold has routinely been among the worst.
How long was our sellout streak a few year ago? 7-8 years? Cincy metro is easily big enough to draw 65k fans. We just don't.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
