Is what the Bengals franchise is worth. Now I wonder how much it would be worth if the Brown Family actually invested in the team?

Or won a Super Bowl...
Winning it would be the greatest investment, lets do it eh? That is the thing, if MB invested heavily into the team being a consistent
winner the dough would come back to him big time. I like what they have done in FA the last couple years but we wouldn't be in this
spot most likely if we went a little more out on a limb to get great top FA's.

Don't forget the second-worst in the league.
Only worse team is the Bills, valued at $2.27 bill.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Make the White Stripes helmet the alternate
Buy a decommissioned battleship and turn it into an indoor/outdoor training facility on the river
Make Natural Light the Official Bengal Beer

I just wanted to point out that real estate holdings certainly play a factor in this. Hamilton County owns PBS, and obviously the Bengals don't have an indoor facility. This hurts their valuation. Their worth is directly tied to the team itself, and more specifically, membership into the NFL.
Now, if they did a better job getting people into their stadium, if they did a better job selling merchandise, and if they owned, let's say, a 100 million dollar practice facility, these numbers would be much higher.
Don't let their lower valuation fool you into believing that's a reflection of the market size alone. If you look at the Steelers, who do everything the right way and hold some actual real estate, they're middle of the pack. So is Green Bay. And the Chiefs aren't so far behind either. The Bengals being near the bottom of the league in value is self inflicted. Whomever were to buy them gets virtually nothing but entry into the league.

Well at least I didn't lose you at the $2.2 Mil, but I've gotta stand firm on the Natty Light.
We will replace the the old Hu Dey with the Cinci Natty

Same lol. Cincinnati has some of the best breweries in the country. Having Natty Light would be an abomination. Replace it with MadTree or Rhinegheist and we’re talking.
Also no on the trading Chase part. Rest sounds great. Especially the battleship.

Ahhh, let me just go find a cash machine.
And let me have my own stock of Busch Light instead of Natty.

You know what’s incredibly sad. I would take all of this over the Brown family circus any day.

I'm not gonna lie, having a battleship on the river next to the stadium would be sick.
But light beer??? That's a different kind of sick.

The fact that every NFL team is worth over 2 Billion dollars shows how great the NFL is.
Also No owner should be complaining about Market size because it clearly doesn't matter.

Yep the fact that the Bengals are not worth more is a 100% on the Brown Family and not the the size of the market.
