I've been in Nissan Stadium once to watch the USMNT and I gotta say, it's a nicer stadium than PBS.

Also saw the Bengals play there in 2011.  Our only victory against a winning team that year.

Only saw a couple of games at Riverfront back in the 70's.  A preseason game against Tampa Bay in their 2nd or 3rd year of existence, and a regular season game against the Chief that we lost.

My first game at PBS was with Joe from Florence.  Sat two rows from the end zone.  You could hear the players talking to each other on the field.  It was the last time the Browns had a winning record (10-6 in '07) and we knocked them out of the playoffs with an upset.  Tailgated with Joe, BengalThing, Turk and that crowd.

From '08 to '16 I went to one game every year.  I would stay with an old high school friend in Mason, but since he was not a Bengal fan I would go to the game by myself.  Since I was always just getting a single ticket I could usually findThe  a good one in the lower level for a reasonable price.

Also went to the Chargers playoff game.  Dressed for subzero temperature and it ended up being a very nice day since I was sitting on the sunny side of the stadium.  That game made me sick to my stomach.  Then when I was about a half hour down the road headed home I stooped to eat and realized I had lost my wallet.  I about had a nervous breakdown because I did not even have enough gas to get home.  I drove back like a mad man to the parking garage where I had had changed out of my heavy winter clothes and found my wallet lying on the ground.  It was dark in there and my wallet was black.  If I had lost it in an outside parking lot someone would have seen it and picked it up.  Then it rained like a ***** for my 4 hour drive back home.

I always wanted to go to games before then but my dad is actually a Bears fan and he also thought games were way too rowdy and expensive. We went to see the Bears play the Lions on Thanksgiving Day in Detroit when I was like 7 or 8, my dad/brother were in Bears gear and drunk guys dressed up like Santa Claus were coming up to my dad and brother and saying stuff like "Bears suck c*ck, and f*!k the Bears!" I was freaking traumatized as I couldn't believe Santa would talk like that, I just kept saying I don't like the Bears...Christmas was never the same after that. From that experience my dad was like no more NFL for you, so hence 2003 being first game.  

I moved out west on my own in 2005 and I then went to a bunch of sporadic games throughout the years when I was back in town for business or for fun. Last year before the season started I committed to 3 games, 2 away games IND and KC, and the home opener on Thursday night. KC was a cool atmosphere and everyone was actually pretty nice. Just sucked since we got blown out and I had to listen to "IT'S A KANSAS CITY CHEIFS FIRST DOWN!!!" like 32 times and they all tomahawk chopped in front of my face. IND game was fun as I went with two of my best friends and we have front row seats on the Bengals sideline at like 45 yard line. Players are really close to stands in IND so we go to see them talking, Dunlap came over and stretched his legs while holding the rail right next to us. Was awesome seeing Fej score that strip/TD as he's one of my favorite players too.

This year I decided since Marvin is gone I was going to go all out and get season tickets. My buddy who lives in OH committed too so we both got tickets for the year, figured Zac coming in things would be different and win or lose screw it we're going all in. I booked all my flights before the season started so I'm committed to going to the rest of them except the CLE game, I haven't booked a flight because I have some family stuff and my buddy needed my ticket. As long as Bengals make some trades/FA/Draft moves I'll renew my season tickets next year too. Although I probably will only go to a few games as it was a very hard sell with the wife on me traveling for all these games. Who Dey!

Only been to away games in Miami, Atlanta and Giants Stadium.  I plan on going to the Dolphins game this year.  Nothing like tailgating in shorts, tank tops & flip flops in December.  One time the Bengals played in Miami a group of us on these boards (total strangers) got together to tailgate.  It was such a great time.
