That’s good news as long as I ignore paying the way for a multi-billion dollar business. Which I will.

I agree, the "B" is overdue for an update. Hopefully something with the profile of a Bengal Tiger head, or paw with claws about to rip.
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations

This is not a huge expense for them. The grading and drainage is already done. It is just changing out turf. I am in the process of putting the same in at one of our high schools and had to do the entire package of drainage, base, and all for under a million. Maumee Bay Turf aka Turf Nation is also doing my field with the exact same material. He told me months ago he was doing Paycor Field so I choose the same Turf. I would guess 500000- 550000 for their new turf.

That's $12b in just national revenue, so not counting local. Kind of absurd regardless of how much the expense is.

It's the way the NFL works. If you want a team, the tax payers have to support it, otherwise you end up like Oakland.

Only if you keep allowing it.
Panthers
Texans
Patriots
Giants/Jets
Dolphins
Rams/Chargers
That's 1/4th of the NFL that aren't playing in taxpayer funded stadiums.
When it comes time that the NFL decides that our stadium isn't new enough for their tastes, I can't see how $1.5b+ is worth 8-10 ever-increasingly-unaffordable games a year. What are they going to do? If they keep moving a lot of teams, it's going to kill their brand as it gets detached from cities and becomes more mercenary. Besides, there's only so many viable markets.

Cleveland rumor has it that Jimmy Haslam wants to build his own domed stadium out in the burbs for the Browns so he can control everything. Others think it is just a negotiating play for Cleveland and Cuyahoga County to pony up lots of dollars to keep the stadium in the city

Hopefully you aren't really this naive. Name every city associated with those teams, secondly name the city where the Bengals are from......lastly what do those cities have in common that is completely lacking in the city where the Bengals play?
The answer is right there, why you're argument has no merit.

They must be doing a complete tearout. Almost the exact price we are paying for the complete install.

and who really knows what requirements the NFL has in place that may up the price. The higher price might also be impacted by how quickly it needs to be completed

Bengals and Browns could both relocate to Columbus and share a stadium there!
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.
Sorry for Party Rocking!
