I wonder if Cincy will be over the last stadium deal by then?

I enjoyed the beer and although I never ate there, the stadium seemed to be a cool place. The pro shop is a little smaller than I hoped but other than that, I really didn’t have any complaints. But, if I was to find some, I guess they could of switched up the music a little. It was always the same (no Katie Perry please).

The Vikings and Cardinals have really nice stadiums too. Wonder where they rank Shit town's terrible stadium and field.

Probably at the tops, that will tell you.

Meet a lot of people (almost everyone forgotten when I wake up with that nasty hangover Monday mornings). Plus, always gotta have a shrimp ring and a few bottles of water and pop for those who enjoy without the alcohol, or don't want to start that early. LOL... I type this like I'm a heavy tailgator. I haven't done it since I let me tickets go 7yrs ago.

Although, I do have my mancave and people come over for that and we jam and cook and stuff sometimes. But usually its just people showing up 1/2 hour before the game and we watch football. I hate this because it removes my excuse to drink before noon.

This year should be different. Bengals are going to be exciting to watch. Last 2 yrs? Well, it's more of a wake than a football party.

I would probably rather go to your place and hang and drink brewskies now that i think of it lol

Mike wanted old school football played out in the cold.

They needed a retractable roof Stadium. It would have probably cost at least a hundred million dollars more though. and you're talking about an owner that has refused to build a practice Dome field.

The cost for stadiums today especially those with retractable roof design are probably over 500-700 million dollars.

There really isn't a bad seat in the house.  The bathrooms are plentiful and you can usually get in and out in a couple minutes.  They keep the bathrooms really warm in the winter so my dad could heat up and they pipe in Dan and Lap so you don't miss the action. 

There is FINALLY a lot of restaurants, bars, etc, in that area by the water and the overall experience is affordable and fun.  

My only real complaint (and unless you have been there, you might not know about them) is the money spent on the convertible club lounge area.  It is really, really nice back there and you can only get in if your seats are in the CC area.  The cost of the seats as season tickets is quite a bit higher, but you can go back and mingle, get upgraded food options, etc.  It is more of what you would call the "business class" seats.

IMHO, I would have made a bit more of an investment on the "real fan" sections and offered more variety of outside food sources, like at the Reds game.  However, the seats are big, comfy, not metal (freeze your ass off), and every seat has a cupholder mounted in front of you.  


I will miss the games this year, but will be watching them all!!!

As for PBS, I like it. I've been to games in Indy, and do not care for their warehouse they play football in....
