His leverage on Cin/Ham would seem to be "I can get a deal in KY". How much would FCC's attendance suffer if in KY. To get to the games his target fans would face transportation difficulties such as:

1. OTR yuppies - Northern KY is a long way to ride a bike.
2. Snowflakes living in mommy's basement - Northern KY means riding the streetcar or bus to downtown then getting a bus to KY.
3. Suburban yuppies are reluctant to cross the river except when going to CVG.

They can take the streetcar to the banks and walk across the bridge.

Is the streetcar running again?

Took some friends to OTR last night for drinks and dinner. They wanted to ride the streetcar while there so we bought 4 tickets to head up to rhinegeist . The electronic sign on the platform indicated 10 minutes till next streetcar. After nine minutes the sign updated to indicate 24 minutes till the next car. We gave up and ubered.

I think they're down a couple streetcars due damage from a recent wreck. That could account for a longer than expected wait.
