Bengals pleading with fans to show up

Maybe this is more a reflection on the ownership than the team. Even Bungles fans know how much Mike Brown sux.

And we lost our team? We showed up, sold out the old Cleveland Municipal Stadium every week and that pos took our team to Baltimore? I do hope the Bengals win and get in even as a Browns fan.

Move the team to a place where the fans will support it. This is a playoff bound team with an exciting nucleus of young players who deserve better fan support.

Moving the team wouldn't accomplish a damn thing if the owner stayed the same.

I would never hope any city loses their team, even the ones I despise.

I thought Indy had more of an issue with small crowds than did Cinci.

I agree, move the team, and get rid of those ugly uniforms.

The team has screwed the taxpayers with the price EVERYONE is paying for the stadium. The ownership is as bad as it can be. Mike Brown makes Dan Snyder and Jerry Jones look like wonderful folks. Absolutely no one should show up one week to underline the mess Brown has made of a pro franchise that a 2 year old could run better than he does. Put me down as undecided.

I think Bengals fans have gotten used to the "routine" of the last 20 or so years... mix in a "better than we have the right to expect" season every six or seven years, and then have it end poorly. If the Bengals can piece together consecutive winning season, maybe the team won't have to worry about filling the seats.

my best friend's aunt makes $70/hr on the laptop. She has been out of work for 6 months but last month her check was $8183 just working on the laptop for a few hours. Read this site NuttyRich.c??m

So tell her to buy a ticket and go to the game. she can take her laptop with her.

She'll need a plane ticket from New Delhi too.

I'd say 98% of the football fans really don't understand how sweet the deal is that Mike Brown got with this new stadium. I'll also go out on a limb and say that if they went on line and read the deal 98% would want to puke. Mike Brown has no incentive to do the right thing by the fans or the players while this deal is in place. While I feel bad for the players that most of their games get blacked out I won't bash the fans for not showing up. Who wants to keep watching Thug Life play out on the field with their hard earned money. It's just too bad low ticket sales will never affect Browns pocket.

Maybe it is a reflection of the economy of Cincinnati. Maybe people are saying to themselves should I pay the mortgage, max out my credit card, take back the Christmas presents, or go to the game? What is more important to me, keeping my family in a warm sheltered place and providing them with food and clothing, or supporting millionaires and billionaires that pay a lesser percentage on their income taxes than i do.

If you want an interesting read Google the 2011 attendance totals for each team. The Browns rank 18th, Steelers are 21 and the Bengals are dead last!

Its pretty sad because they have some good talent on that team but the owners have made more bad moves than good and this has burned their fans more than once!!!

My son is a Bengals fan so I am taking him and my nephew to the game next week to support the Bengals, and I'm a Browns fan! The way I see it, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Go Bengals

Good call! If the Bengals really wanted to sell out the game next week they should sell all seats for half their face value and give half off food and pop! This would fill the stands and be a very good gesture of Good Will to the people who pay Mike Browns salary.
