Yeah, and you Bungle fans support the hometown team with such fervor- me (of Browns season tickets AND Directv Sunday Ticket) is going to be forced to either scalp a ticket Sunday,or drive over to Columbus to see the game in real time.
You guys are the most pathetic POS Frontrunning Fairweather fans in the NFL- bar none. Can't even sell out for a 6-4 team against a division opponent. You wouldn't even have sold out against the Steelers unless 30,000 of THEIR fans has bought tickets, how do you like playing an away game in your home stadium? It's not an uncommon occurrence. You really don't even deserve a team. Case in point- I could have easily sold my first game in Cleveland Browns Stadium for $500 bucks each on e-Bay. I had zero trouble getting 4 tickets direct from the Bungle ticket office for the first game at Paul Brown, In case you've forgotten- the Browns won.
Okay, so I joined just to lay this out for you. The browns cheapest ticket is MASSIVELY cheaper than a bengals ticket. No offense man, but you guys have a ticket priced at nearly HALF of what our cheapest nose bleed cost. And I'm pretty sure cost of living in Cincy is around the same as Cleveland, so there ya go. I'll provide some links real quick, not counting on fans of the turds to be able to read them tho.

I like how you mentioned that opening games for Cleveland Brown Stadium vs. Paul Brown Stadium. Here lets look at the whole picture of the situations that unfolded. Paul Brown Stadium opened during one of the DARKEST periods in Bengal history. We had just recently drafted one of the all time NFL Bust akili smith (you guys would do the same that year with Couch, but he would last in the league much longer and see mild success) and on top of that our evil owner had strong armed our city in to giving him the most TEAM FRIENDLY stadium deal in NFL history. Which he did by threatening to take our Bengals to LA, in hindsight no city would take Brown in a package deal to get a team. So basically the bengals
were coming off a 4-12 season and a decade of losing when Paul Brown Stadium opened up, and the previous year had drafted a QB who was pretty much an immediate bust. Yeah lots to look forward to.
Now the opening of Cleveland Brown Stadium:
The Browns had been out of the league for several years, were awarded the #1 pick in the NFL draft as the expansion team, and selected a player many thought to be a franchise QB. Of course Couch was not a franchise QB, but he faired considerably better than he other 1999 QB bust, our own Akili Smith. On top of all the optimism about having a new team with the number 1 overall pick and an amazing brand new stadium, you guys also thought you had much to look forward to with the Lerner family. Lerner is rich as crap, while Mike Brown has made nearly all of his money by spending bare minimum and raking in revenue sharing. Yes, Lerner ended up proving to be crap too, but thats called hindsight his 20/20, and you guys definitely had way more to look forward to after no football for what 3 or 4 years? (I honestly forget) Theres no way that people wouldn't of been pumped about a great new stadium and finally getting football back. The Bengals had nothing but misery prior to 2003, with one brief year of Jeff Blake getting us .500. So your telling me that a team that sucked for a decade with an owner that alienated his fans considerably is on the same level as a city that was football starved from having their team leave? Sorry man, but you are way off base, and I think I've pretty much proved that.
