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.
This city gets excited when the team is doing well. After the lost decade when we drafted Palmer, Boomer consoled him in an interview. He told him that if the team does well, the fans will be great to play for. Then, as he became a terrific young qb, the stadium filled up. It was loud. Remember the Thursday night game vs Baltimore? You could hear the fans from Covington, lol. As I said before, if you didn't have season tickets, you were paying way over face on eBay (before stub hub) or getting gouged outside by scalpers.
They can absolutely fill the stadium. They're just done with business as usual.
