‘You can’t give everything to Cleveland’ - Cincinnati officials call for state help in unveiling $1.3B Paycor Stadium plan​

Cincinnati officials this week unveiled a master plan for a $1.25 billion renovation of the Bengals’ Paycor Stadium, and Hamilton County commissioners made one thing clear. If state taxpayers help Clevelanders pay for a stadium, Cincinnati wants its “fair share.”

Hamilton County Commissioner Alicia Reece said she reiterated that message when she met with Gov. Mike DeWine.

“You can’t give everything to Cleveland and leave us with the scraps,” Reece said during Tuesday’s public meeting of the Hamilton County commissioners.

The master plan is the latest chapter in Cincinnati’s stadium conversation, which draws a lot of similarities to the debate in Northeast Ohio around the Cleveland Browns’ Huntington Bank Field.

Both cities have stadiums on the waterfront that opened a year apart in 1999 and 2000. Estimates say both would cost $1 billion or more to renovate. And in both cases, officials are trying to minimize taxpayers’ part of the bill.

Reece, along with Hamilton County commissioners Denise Driehaus and Stephanie Summerow Dumas, said they want the NFL, the Bengals and the state to help the county taxpayers pay for any stadium renovations in the future.

The Browns were looking for taxpayers to cover half the cost of the $2.4 billion stadium in Brook Park, and met with state lawmakers to ask them cover up to 600 million of the public funding portion. Team owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam would pay for the other $1.2 billion for the stadium.

The Browns have said renovating the current Huntington Bank Field would cost $1 billion, though they haven’t provided details on what the cost would include. Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne and County Council President Pernel Jones Jr. have said they will not support a stadium proposal for Brook Park and will focus on renovating the existing lakefront stadium.

Whole defense is fucking trash. Fire everyone on this staff already.

I’m about to start rooting against them until Taylor and friends are given the boot.

Big fan of the defensive coordinator. We keep letting good players go to other teams due to stinginess. I do not love our defensive roster right now. And it doesn't help that our starting DTs are out.

He’s been getting exposed running the same zone bullshit play after play after play. The Patriots exploited the fuck out of it, and now a rookie QB has completed 91% of his passes. You have to mix it up in today’s game. Sitting in the same shit leaves you prone to getting picked apart. His DL hasn’t done him any favors, but waiting until the 4th quarter to blitz anyone other than Mike Hilton on the occasional nickel blitz hasn’t done much either.

When did Burrow become the check down king?

I know he threw at least a couple fairly long passes (I saw very little of this game), but I don't think his wrist is back to full strength. Actually, what little I saw, he looked more inaccurate than I've seen him (e.g., wildly errant throw to wide open Moss in first half).

Might be the most embarrassing loss in my 54 years on earth.

What's sad is that in 3-4 weeks, our defensive players will be healthy again, and we'll go on a sudden winning streak.

The Bengals will finish the season at 9-8 and just miss the playoffs.

They'll get the 18th pick in the draft, ensuring the top 3 DTs will already be gone. So instead, Zac will take a CB or DE out of Wisconsin or Iowa, some team famous for its slow, white athletes.

He still won't play our starters next off-season ensuring another 0-3 start and the circle of life goes on...
