The Hamilton County Commission voted Wednesday to approve paying for three-quarters of the cost of a new $10 million scoreboard for the Cincinnati Bengals — something it actually agreed to back in April, and which it kind of had to given the horrible, horrible lease the county agreed to with the Bengals that requires the public to buy the team anything that the kids down the block have. But anyway, now it’s official and all.
I’d love to show you a rendering of what the new scoreboard will look like, but this is all that any news sites have run with their stories. Is that the old scoreboard, or a Photoshopped rendition of what the new scoreboard will look like? I’m going to have to find somebody who’s actually been to a Bengals game to tell me, aren’t I? At least maybe this year some fans won’t be too embarrassed to admit it.
Someone should tell the Bengals it’s no longer the “2013 Regular Season.”
But when are they building a practice facility? I think the Bengals are the only NFL team without one.
