Under the team’s lease with the county, taxpayers would have been entitled to some of the money from the naming rights deal, but the team has told the county it will get nothing.
Back in 2022, if the Bengals sold the naming rights and the net revenue the team received was $60 million or less, the county was entitled to nothing. It was entitled to 30% of revenue above that level.
So basically the team told all of us taxpayers to go fuck ourselves. How nice.
Oh I fully blame the county commissioners for this horrible deal but I also blame the Bengals for taking advantage of the situation too. They can all go to hell.
