Piss off the local tax payers enough to encourage Hamilton County to allow them break the lease and move to another market where they can make a newer and better stadium deal. They have 7 years left on the current deal. It is going to be a hard sell the way the team is currently managed and performing to sell tax payers on funding anything Bengals stadium related past 2026.
My guess is within 7 years the team will be sold or make a deal that moves to a larger market like San Antonio, Portland, or Oklahoma City. After all PBS has been struggling with filling the seats even during the best of years.
Side note: Man I can't believe I'm talking about the Bengals in 2026. This makes me feel old.
I wouldn't let them off the hook. Make them be the laughing stock(oh wait they already are) by leaving the stands completely empty for the next seven years.
