I bring this up because 2026 isn't that far away and prominent local politician Greg Hartman recently stated his opposition against any new money added to the stadium in the enquires Cincinnati podcast. Starts around the 27 minute mark.

I don't think it will be that big of an issue because 
1.)  I think the future is bright for the franchise & City 
2.) PBS will need some renovations for the World Cup anyways. Which will happen in 2026 when the deal is up.

It will be very tempting for the Bengals to move.. they will have a ton of $$$$ thrown at them by other cities.. I am hoping their Ohio roots keep them here... it is going to be an uphill battle though with the 2nd smallest market in the NFL to keep them.
