He took me down to Nippert Stadium to see the new professional team in town. The Bengals played the Chiefs in the first preseason game. It was the first time the Bengals stepped onto the field against another team. And the best part is....I still have the program from the game. Not many people can say they were at their favorite team's first game ever.
I attended the first ever game played by the Tennessee Titans. They were called the Tennessee Oilers the first two years in Tennessee, and did not become the Titans until their new Stadium oped in Nashville in 1999.
They played the Falcons who had lost the Super Bowl the year before.
And I don't even care about the Titans.
