Another Bengals blackout coming

[Big Bid'Ness]

As of Saturday, the Bengals will have played seven regular-season home games. And six of them will have been blacked out.

The Bengals quietly announced on Tuesday that, when the Cardinals come to town, the stadium will be as quiet as it has been for every home game except the one against the Steelers.

According to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, only 41,202 fans showed up for the Week 14 game between the Texans and Bengals. Three times this year, fewer people attended a Bengals regular-season home game than attended the game played at Paul Brown Stadium between the University of Cincinnati and West Virginia, which drew 48,152.

The Bengals finish the season on New Year’s Day with a visit from the Ravens, which could have a playoff berth hinging on the outcome. Which raises an obvious question: How bad would the attendance have been this year if the team wasn’t 8-6?

The Broncos-Bills game also has been blacked out for Saturday. No games will be played in any of the other 2011 blackout hot spots (i.e., San Diego, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, St. Louis, Minnesota).

Support your damn team.

don't want to give money to their owner. Mike Brown is an asshole. I can understand why they wouldn't want to give money to him.

I love how people say the Jags should move because fans dont support them when they havent had a blackout in 2 years.

Bengals, Raiders, Bills, ST Louis, Bucs, Chargers, Cardinals have all had blackouts, yet none of them are the major target for all the "Move them to LA" talk.

Fuck the media, fuck pussy NFL fans.

Just has to do with Mike Brown, fans are tired of giving the man money whose not committed to putting the best teams possible on the field even though they are 8-6 and in playoff contention as of now. It just all started with the way things went down last year and in the off season with Carson Palmer saying he'd rather retire than play. They were 4-12 a year ago and really made no changes with the team and brought Marvin Lewis back for two years, I just think people had enough and said if you aren't going to put a winning/consistent team on the field, we aren't no longer going to support it. Keep in mind, up until recently, they had 57 consecutive sellouts, which is what surprises me about this most. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but they've just had enough evidently. I guess they'd rather hold a grudge with Mike Brown then support the football team.

Cause they know Mike Brown wouldn't ever give up the team, it's always been ran by the Brown's. It's a family owned team and always will be. Once Mike goes on, I'm sure it will go to Katie Blackburn, Mike's daughter. They know the Bengals won't be going anywhere for a long time, so it'd be worthless.

Well, I sure hope the game against the Ravens will be a sellout so they have the home field advantage behind them. I expect a packed PBS next Sunday, anything less I'll be ashamed.
