Bengals still need to sell about 8000 tickets.

They have a taxpayer paid stadium, but they also have a sweetheart contract signed by Cincy’s less than cagey politicians that gives absolutely no consideration whatsoever to Cincy fans.

Screw the fans! Giants and Jets screwed their fans when they built a new stadium and required fans to buy seat licenses up to $20,000.
And all the license did was allow the fans the "right" to buy outrageously priced season tickets.
Buffalo's owner Ralph Wilson couldn't find a sucker to pay for stadium naming rights, so he went crying to Albany and the politicians gave him over $200 million.
In appreciation for the NY taxpayer, Wilson named the stadium ........ after himself. Then moved one of the eight home games to ..... Toronto.
Screw the fans!
