Pally's post here seems to indicate there were some restrictions on capacity for some reason:

Quote:The Bengals pep rally is at PBS in front of 30000 people and if capacity was allowed probably would have sold out completely.

Also from her post I linked it will apparently be on ESPN 2 or NFLN at 8:00PM if you want to watch it.

Just watched on NFL network. Players spoke and ZT. Also CJ ripped off his knee brace, have a hunch barring a set back he will be ready

Well, he started off by complaining about 'lack of support'...evidently having no idea that only 30,000 tickets were available. Then, he complained about current players not being there (and then the current players were announced ). Now, he's complaining about the noise...which by the way, sounds great on every video I've seen...including from people's phones.

This thread has been one big epic fail. 

Coverage of pep rally has been underwhelming. I expected more, but hey we will be able to see the Rams live….

They didn't provide the reason for the capacity limit.  I suspect it had to do with the relatively short notice and getting the stadium staffed as well parking limitations at the end of the business day

It been covered pretty well on NFLN during the Super Bowl kickoff show. I also heard there was coverage on ESPN.

I wasn't going to say anything, but it was pretty much the game day thread version of his posts.  

The ESPN show is even worse then the fox 19. Poor Rams fan base. It's pathetic. It's literally at a high school. Im going to
Predict 70% bengals fans at the super bowl. Rams fans believe they have this game wrapped up.

They just showed the Rams pep rally and there are literally like 200 people there lol

I'm actually thoroughly enjoying this ESPN broadcast. I told a friend of mine it's one of the best things I've watched on ESPN in years.

You're really the worst...

I see you deleted your, "there are no active players, only alumni," post, because, you know, THE ENTIRE TEAM was there, right?

Just terrible. Maybe you should sit and stew on things instead of embarrassing our fanbase?

Bring back negative rep.

Wait, are there actually people on this board who still don't know that Trademark is a closet Steelers troll?

Agreed and they've given the Bengals a lot of attention. It's been fun to watch and I've enjoyed Saturday's comments.

ESPN is loving all-things Burrow.

He sure flaked out on Playoff pick'em.

Already saw a vid of CJ tearing his knee braise off and it was loud in the stadium with the amount of people allowed.

BTW, nice seeing you on here again JumboTron. Post more often please.

Burrow is the type of QB that even Entertainment Tonight has to follow.

Truth, and it's fun to see our QB is the man.

I lurked here for a while before joining, and I think I remember them having it when the board first started up.
