If Cincinnati doesn't like their Bengals, how about moving them to LA?

Because it's the #2 TV market....

Which would be blacked out when they don't sell out home games.

Old stadiums aren't the reason fans stay away. Home town loyalty, tradition and a winner is all it takes for most fans to come out and support their local team.

Actually, it doesn't take that much.... Packers went thru many bad years and the Frozen fans still show up .....


Do you suppose the Fans show up because they are Frozen and CAN'T leave ?

While your statement is valid, there is no other situation in the NFL...actually in any of the major sports...like Green Bay.

Green Bay is unique. Zero comparison to LA...actually, Green Bay has zero comparison to the rest of the NFL.

Cubs are very similar to the Packers fan wise, (if they would win).

This is probably at the heart of it all.

The main reason people don't show up to the games in Cincinnati is the owner plain and simple. He is the son of a great owner/coach and he thinks he is a chip off the old block when he is actually a block head. He either needs to sell the team or hire a manager.

I meant Green Bay has no comparison to LA because of it's tiny size. Chicago is not tiny.

They did a lot of renovation to that stadium, it's not like it use to be.

Sounds like a similar situation in what the LA Dodgers were going though this year.

They've been saying that in Detroit for the Lions for many years and they just refuse to sell.

It makes you wonder why they don't just try to renovate Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego &/or renovate the Metrodome in Minnesota. BC Place Stadium in Vancouver,BC was built on the same design as the Metrodome,& they renovated their roof to be a retractable roof. It is beautiful & has probably made BC Place the best stadium in the CFL right now.
