Bengals home opener against the Denver Broncos still isn't soldout
What a 4-11-1 season does to a team that has fans supporting boycotts (which includes not going to the games) is telling. It's been a common held belief that when Mike Brown's pockets started losing weight, then fans will get what they want. A general manager. A new operating philosophy. Or, a new owner. However, we have to hope that the front office doesn't play defense, arrogantly (and bullishly) out to prove a long-held belief that they know what they're doing and they'll go another 20 years to prove it. And we have to hope that the money the front office is losing, won't simply mean cuts in other areas. Like low-balling unsigned draft picks. Or looking past top-tier free agents for players who are better support players that become starters because of finances.
With 21 days away, the Cincinnati Bengals home opener against the Denver Broncos still hasn't sold out as of this posting. If the game against the Broncos isn't sold out, the team's streak of 44 consecutive sellouts comes to an end and the game will be blacked out to the locals. If you live locally and subscribe to NFL Ticket, you'll be subject to the same blackout rules. In other words, unless you live out of the area or go to the game, you won't see the Bengals.

For as much money as taxpayers spent on that stadium...
Time to get a hold of Voinovich and Brown (Sharrod, not Mike) and get them to put pressure on the NFL. TAXPAYER FAN BAILOUT
yawn
Dear Mike Brown,
Your product is overpriced. Unemployment is 10%. You have a 20 year history of being non-competitive. Your first round draft pick is not signed, mainly due to the fact you will not offer him a contract worthy of his draft slot. You are not terribly adept at customer relations or promotional activities.
I cant fathom that an NFL owner wouldnt want his product televised in his home market, especially for the season opener. Open yer eyes Mikey…

The Blackout Rule is the most counterproductive rule in the NFL...
all it does it penalize teams that are bad right at the moment they need more local support. If the NFL thinks not being able to see a game on TV will REALLY cause somebody to buy a ticket, it is deluding itself.

Only based on locality.
People trying to watch the Bengals from out of market sites will still be able to watch the game.
