May 30, 20196 yr 24 minutes ago, jmecklenborg said: I don't understand why Carl Lindner, Jr. bought the Reds off of Marge Schott and then turned around and sold the team to Bob Castellini when the team was valued at $270 million, unless he needed the cash for his other ventures, i.e. Queen City Square. If Carl Jr. hadn't sold in 2005, Carl Lindner III would own 51% of the Reds, who are now valued at over $1 billion. Instead he's throwing $250 million at this team, which is hardly generating any revenue, and nobody knows if MLS teams will become profitable or more valuable over time. The bottom line is that they'd be WAY ahead if they had just held onto their majority stake in The Reds. You don't know what they did with their Reds money they cashed out, so you can't really say they definitively made a bad investment decision.
May 30, 20196 yr There's virtually no way the father-son duo is ahead. From what I can ascertain, Carl Lindner Jr. pocketed a $70-80~ million profit when he sold The Reds. He purchased the controlling stake from Marge Schott for $67 million and sold that same 51% stake in 2005 when the team was valued at roughly $270 million, or $137 million. If he were to have passed the team down to his sons, that same 51% would have been worth over $500 million by the time FC Cincinnati was founded. Since that founding, Carl Lindner, III has paid a $150 million franchise fee and is now obligated to spend $250 million on a stadium, plus $30 million for the practice facility. So $500 million vs. -$430 million is almost a $1 billion difference.
May 31, 20196 yr If you don't expect return from something (and you shouldn't from a sports team) you're probably not going to get it. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

May 31, 20196 yr 4 hours ago, edale said: I'm curious to know what business interests and holdings Lindner and the Farmers have outside of the core businesses in Cincinnati. Not necessarily doubting you, but honestly curious. IMO, the Lindners and Farmers and Co. are pretty much tied to Cincinnati, because their name carries weight there, and they are basically treated like royalty. That's the reason Lindner is so pissed and 'hurt' by the small road bumps he's experiencing with this MLS stadium. He's a Lindner, and therefore he should be given carte blanche to do whatever the hell he wants. If the Lindners moved to New York or LA they would be small potatoes, and their name wouldn't get them much of anything. I went to school with multiple Lindner and Farmer kids, and I don't think these people are inherently bad or anything. They do invest in the community, and they have created many jobs in the region. I believe they want what is best for the region, and they want to see it succeed. But they need Cincinnati just as bad as Cincinnati needs them. P&G could basically pick and move to any number of cities in the world, and not really be affected. Not the case for the Lindner owned companies. AFG has numerous subsidiaries in the insurance side as well as the family has a number of joint ventures in other financial insurance based businesses around the country. They may not have majority ownership in all of it but they have significant influence. I believe they have an insurance company in the Cleveland area (Richfield) if I remember correctly. They used to have a bunch of hotel holdings all over the country that they sold off recently. Point being while their major business is AFG, there are always going to be much smaller ventures or ventures they are associated with that are quiet. The Farmers have other business interests too. It is about diversification. They have family offices that often invest in smaller but mid market companies to hold. These are private companies but together often make a decent portfolio. Not saying I know exactly what they are, but most families of such wealth often employ these diversification strategies. I don't get the saying where Lindner needs the city?? Yes, they are from here and built their empire based here, but many of the companies they owned had no Cincinnati connection. Great American Insurance was a California Company, Taft Broadcasting while Cincinnati has significant Hollywood interests, Penn central, Chiquita amongst others had no Cincinnati connection before Lindners brought them all here, and they did not necessarily have to do so.

May 31, 20196 yr Carl Jr only bought the Reds because no one else local would and they were scared an outsider could move the team. I think once Castellini expressed interest Jr was happy to sell it to someone else local. Despite his wealth he never spent much money on the team as owner. Not to mention passing a sports franchise down to your kids cost a lot of money in taxes. The family still holds a minority ownership stake in the team though so that smaller share has obviously gone up a lot in value.
May 31, 20196 yr FC Cincinnati, West End tenants strike a deal; council approves measures for stadium After a long day of negotiations, FC Cincinnati and tenants of West End property owned by the club agreed to terms Thursday on the residents’ status, and Cincinnati City Council unanimously passed a set of ordinances allowing the club to continue construction of its stadium. But the details of the FCC-tenant deal were sparse, with FCC representatives asking the tenants at 421 Wade St. and 1550 Central Ave. to keep the fine print secret. FCC did disclose that the tenants would have longer to move than a Friday deadline imposed by the team and that they would be provided some amount of moving assistance. “We’re pleased to report that we have reached a deal with the tenants. The sweat equity appears to have paid off,” said Tom Tepe, one of several attorneys for the team.

I'm worried that they will use the suddenly-necessary widening of tiny Bauer Ave. to take the three properties that are still owner-occupied. Those people will get less money under that scenario vs. selling now. Plus the team gets the city to vacate Bauer Ave. and so they get more land for free.

It's totally fair to talk about the Lindner's wealth in the discussion over public subsidy for this project. I just don't think it's productive to have ill-informed conversations about how much money they've gained or lost through various business deals. None of us have any clue about the amount that Carl Lindner III personally paid toward the expansion fee or the stadium construction. No clue at all. We also have no clue how much money was gained or lost by selling the Reds to Castellini. It's just conjecture based on very little information.

On top of it will the the stadium plaza and the one big future development space. The west side of the stadium is just going to have a small surface lot probably for team employees and maybe suite/premium seat holders. They do show the county garage where the ballet currently is. If that's where they want it it's not going to get built anytime soon.
June 10, 20196 yr Concerning FC buying up as many properties as it can on Wade and Bauer; I believe they have huge potential there to create what the Banks could have been.

Keep the Historic buildings, tear down the single story cinder block crap, replace with new 4 story infill, first floor retail, residence on top. I know they want to build a giant parking structure on the block that is the Tri-State building/Ballet, but if they would incorporate that into this FC Village concept, that would go a long way towards making this whole site far incorporated into the surrounding area. I know this is pie in the sky and they will probably just tear as much down for parking as they can, but I can dream. Also, I am still amazed they have not bought out the cell tower or whatever that is. That thing is going to stick out like a sore thumb right in front of the stadium.

Also, I think those buildings had equal chance of being raised from pure neglect like a good amount of west end/otr buildings have been demolished. We are what, almost 10 years into the revitalizion process for otr, and there are still abandoned blocks in South of liberty and large crime pockets. I highly doubt west end reinvestment would have magically kicked off, when south of liberty otr is still trying to find its footing at times.
June 11, 20196 yr The West End would have started gentrifying a decade or more from now, I agree. I also don't like Banks 2.0 tearing down good-looking buildings that are usable. There's a number of casualties coming not from the stadium footprint, but the parking lot/development ring around it, that presumably will have your generic modern stuff pasted on top of the garages. They're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, and if that doesn't work, well, they'll make the neighborhood conform to them (which they promised they wouldn't mess with). EDIT: In looking at the packet again, most of the parking is over stuff that's a non-issue. Everything in the plan so far seems to be okay. The Bauer area (which has no plan yet) and the ridiculous request that the Central Pkwy and Liberty corner should be a county parking garage are my only issues so far. That's prime real estate, what a waste. Edited June 11, 20196 yr by 10albersa Double-checking the packet
June 11, 20196 yr Troy, I understand your point about West End redevelopment being a long ways off. I agree with you when you are talking about the West End north of Liberty. However, the West End south of Liberty has almost no Historic stock left. It was mostly all demolished for Public housing, and the later, for City West. The Wade/Bauer blocks are a small pocket where there are a few historic buildings, and the original street grid is still intact. Someone had already restored a couple of the buildings on Wade into condos if I remember correctly. Considering that the MLS wanted this stadium here rather than Oakley because they want it to have a European feel, I am arguing that the Wade Bauer area north of the stadium is the way to do that. I doubt anyone from FC reads this forum, but on the off chance they do, here is my Plea: Do not turn Wade and Bauer into surface lots. Partner with 3cdc or Model group or someone and restore the Historic buildings, and infill the vacant land. You will have a gem of a small sub neighborhood right next to your stadium.
June 11, 20196 yr If they decide to tear down the Ballet, they should do OTR-style infill on the existing Bauer street area and on the Ballet/TriState Wholesale lot build a small self-contained shopping area with a generic mixed-use builiding fronting Liberty/Central Pkwy, and shops/public space on the inner portions of that plot (like the outdoor section of Newport on the Levee). Also, what is the plan with Central Ave? On the planning packet, it shows it just dead-ending into the stadium, is it going under the stadium and connecting to the garage? If it does just end, why does it have stubs and not just dead end into 3-way intersections? It looks like FCC wants that road turned into a collector road for game day traffic... take that crap somewhere else. Edited June 11, 20196 yr by 10albersa Cenrral Ave

I believe the field will be at street level, and there will be a drive so that vehicles can enter the stadium via Central Avenue underneath the upper level stands. Think of it like the ramp at the northwest corner of Nippert Stadium that allows large vehicles to enter the stadium. I think the only location where vehicles could enter the stadium would be the south side from Central. I could definitely be wrong about this, but that's what I recall. I don't think it's supposed to be gameday traffic.

June 11, 20196 yr I have a friend who works with FCC and his position is what you would consider upper tier. What he has told me since FCC announced the West end location is that ownership wants to control the surrounding stadium property and create a FCC land of sorts with bars/resturaunts/shops/etc.. Ownership group is aware that their fanbase are from mason, west Chester other North suburbs and that they don't want the perceived notion of crime around otr/west end hurt attendence. Thus they want to create a FCC land bubble where people can park, shop eat, go to the game and drive off without having to be exposed to crime/poverty. So don't be surprised to see a liberty center inspired development surround the stadium at some point.

Whatever they throw up isn't going to have the long-term appeal that it could have if they insisted on high-quality stuff that fits the context.
