And this is why I think they should pass a federal law prohibiting taxpayers from footing the entire bill for professional sports teams and why they should all have fundraisers to build multipurpose facilities instead.
Why can't the BILLIONAIRE owner pay for their own stadium? They literally own the team, take all the revenues for themselves. Taxpayers should not be helping out billionaires with their problems.
Impractical use of funds IMHO. It‘s not clear how the public really benefits from this. To say that these updates are needed to “be competitive“ doesn‘t make sense since the stadium shouldn’t have much impact on the outcome of the games. Grass field? Yes, that makes sense for players’ health but I never heard of a FA coming to Cincy for the stadium bling. Just my 2 cents.
They meant competitive in the market space to host big events. However, since they're not adding a roof, which would make the stadium available 365 days, this should be rejected.
@ Thank you for clarifying their explanation for me. On another note, don’t the Bengals/Mike Brown get a major portion of the proceeds off ANY event that takes place at the stadium today? (Another rabbit hole to go down.)
I feel like this if you’re gonna do that and spend money on that that’s other money could be put in good use like how about the other stadium and not talking about the Cincinnati Reds stadium? I’m talking about where the hockey be at that need more improvement and then talk about moneywise, then if you wanna invest in something, why don’t you try being a NBA team or WNBA here that will bring more money more jobs. You’re not taking outside the box if you want more money bring it to him and county that would be the best way and improving a neighborhood that needs to fund for recreation use for the kids and adults.
I feel like if they build a dome stadium, they could get a Super Bowl national championship potential World Cup in the future endless possibilities but no
@@villainous1142 no every year football is more viewed and football is the fastest growing sport in the world and most watched American sport by double
A stadium paid by 90% taxpayers in Hamilton County so a fossil owner who was gifted daddy's millions can still enjoy the taste of a sliver spoon in his mouth. The Bengals were established in 1968 with no Superbowl wins. I hope it fails and they leave the state
Thats not how money works when it comes to real estate man. They're putting up 20% of whatever amount the city doesn't cover, and getting a loan to build it. They aren't paying that out of pocket lmfao otherwise they would be getting a new $4B Stadium
Mike Brown left $50m in unspent unrolled-over cap space since 2019 he has the money and doesn't want to pay his players NOR for the stadium. We may call him an idiot but he's the smartest man alive if he can bilk his players taxpayers AND ticket holders out of their money all at the same time!!!
Can we atleast sign tee higgins and jamar chase with some of that. I don't think we realize how important tee is. There is no replacing him. we need chase too. Sign these young phenomens we need to bring a few trophies home to the jungle
Happy Wednesday, They've had many winning seasons during the Dalton Era, but they couldn't win a playoff game, and the Burrow era has got us to a Superbowl and an AFC Championship game.
Why paying for something I can't go to
That’s enough to give every resident 4,000 $ .
@@rayjay238 if you cut off the top earners who don’t need it, it’s even more.
Any improvements should include a roof
$1.25 billion for a playground for wealthy people. It's not like there's anything else Hamilton County could use.
Corporate Welfare in the extreme.
And this is why I think they should pass a federal law prohibiting taxpayers from footing the entire bill for professional sports teams and why they should all have fundraisers to build multipurpose facilities instead.
Not a single tax dollar should be going to stupid Sportsball, this is insanity
Truth
If Hamilton county gets a share of the revenue then maybe it will be ok
Why doesn't Mike Brown pay for it😮😮😮?
After a performance like that where you refuse to pay your players and let them walk- mike brown deserves nothing from Hamilton county
So they’re going to lower the seating capacity. Nice.
Wow, it takes a lot of nerve!
Dome's are not good for football. Open air is the best, play in the elements for good football. Think back to the ICE BOWL, that's real football.
Our nation is dying, STOP WITH THE BREAD AND CIRCUSES
another tax levy coming. voters in Hamilton county were not too bright when they voted to upkeep this stadium.
Why can't the BILLIONAIRE owner pay for their own stadium? They literally own the team, take all the revenues for themselves. Taxpayers should not be helping out billionaires with their problems.

💯
especially when ticket prices are 300 for the nosebleeds
You know the Hamilton county president is not a football fan. She would not mind if the team left for another city.
For sure
His name is Mike Brown.. net worth $4.1 billion$
Cincy Football!
Waist of money! Just build another stadium! This stadium is a fish bowl
Why? Stadium is only 25 years old.
They’re not rebuilding it. It’s just renovations. Adding to the experience

Glad I don’t live in Hamilton county.
Sorry taxpayers. You have to subsidize billionaire profits and their private NFL owners club.
Don't approve of any "improvements" until a fielded squad wins the first 3 games of a given season.

Is there an opt out for being taxed for any of this?
no, youll pay for it and like it sadly
😂 yeah this ain't right
The Bengals can move to Toronto for all I care.
Please tare it down and build a FOOD BANK...... I'm done helping them. Better luck next next year bangles.
Spending all that money and not building a new stadium is crazy that’s a really expensive renovation on the stadium that is still aging
I feel like if they build a dome stadium, they could get a Super Bowl national championship potential World Cup in the future endless possibilities but no
We don't need it..... They suck
Isn’t sport popularity dropping?

Good evening everyone let's go Who Dey All Day. Champ
They could also change their seats from green to orange with black tiger stripes.
We need more low income housing in the city ...lol I hope it don't pass 😂

Sucks for tax payers
So you can pay 1b dollars on a field but can't pay tee or jamrr chase

There's no salary cap when building a stadium. Quit spewing bullshit that you know nothing about

@@uog293 you have an interesting definition of smart
Let the rich billionaire owners pay for the entire thing. No one cares about external video screens running ads 24/7. What a joke
Same cost for the Buffalo Bills new stadium opening in 2026 at 1 billion.
Who ever gets the most revenue. Who got paid for naming rights?
Can we atleast sign tee higgins and jamar chase with some of that. I don't think we realize how important tee is. There is no replacing him. we need chase too. Sign these young phenomens we need to bring a few trophies home to the jungle
Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that.
See you can get rewarded for continuous losing seasons 🤭🤭🤭🤭

@curtturner4216 They have literally been to a Superbowl and an AFC Championship game....a couple of bad penalties from 2 Superbowls.
