Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals announced that they wouldn't increase their ticket prices for the 2009 regular season. Something about going 4-11-1, having a disastrous offense with a defense, while good, that still maddening stunk it up against playoff teams. Still, it seemed logical that for the team to maintain a level of interest for the following season, they'd assure fans of all classes could walk into Paul Brown stadium, enjoy a hotdog that pays for college tuition and a beer that costs as much as it does to maintain the parks in Lebanon. At least in happy fun-fun land.
However, playoffs, a healthy Carson Palmer, an exciting defense with the return of Mike Zimmer can only mean one thing. Paying more to get into Paul Brown Stadium. From Bengals.com.
