However, other games we attended this season we just parked and went straight to stadium. This time we're likely staying in hotel and coming in. Anyone have good tips about tailgating areas or places we can hang before the game? I'd apprecitate it.

I stayed at the Quality Inn on 8th street. So I would walk down Gest St. and into the Longworth Hall Parking lot. It is just west of PB stadium.  A lot of fun going on there. They have all the buses people paint orange, lots of music, fire pits... people giving away free shots. A strong, healthy pro-Cincinnati vibe going on there. I always walk through there. Great tailgating. WHO DEY

*On the opposite side of the stadium (east side), up the stairs... is the area where you can buy beer at restaurants/bars and have an open container. I forget what it is called but it is by the Banks area in Cincinnati @ Freedom Way street. It is a small area that gets packed. It starts at the Reds Stadium and goes back to the stadium. I have gotten drinks @ Jefferson Social. And I had no issues getting a beer within 2-3 people ahead of me. Live music, tons of people. I would say this is more "pre-game" then tailgating.

I have also noticed walking back to my hotel after the game that there is free parking on 7th street. Put "Jedson Engineering" into your GPS/Google Maps.
