  • Bengals and Hamilton County reach tentative agreement for stadium renovation.
  • County to contribute $350 million, Bengals $120 million to project.
  • Commissioners to vote on $470 million project terms June 26.

The Bengals and Hamilton County's negotiators have reached a tentative agreement for a new, 10-year lease that will deliver a scaled-down Paycor Stadium renovation project.

The county outspending the bengals 3 to 1 is a goddamn joke

I mean, we shouldn't have to pay for a damn thing really after 3 decades but yes, somehow 350 million. And you know in ten years they'll just want a whole new stadium anyway. All on our dime of course.

I mean if the taxpayers are having to pay for this shit I expect them to at least buy me some damn tickets

I'd be interested on what the return to the county is on taxes for Bengals games. Are they earning back more than 350m over 10 years, or are they just losing money?

[–] curve@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

We paid over a billion and change for 30 years. I can't imagine 350 million over 10 years (even with inflation) is that much better. Not to mention the Bengals are earning 93% of all profits on parking for game days as well. And the "rent" is a joke.

But that's just my take.
