Same. Nice, boring and QUIET …just the way I like it, so I can focus on the game.

Ditto on food choices too lol.

And when you walk into the bathroom you're not dragging your shoe laces across urine puddles.  Usually.

It started out so promising.

I’ll be there 4 hours before game. That is when parking lot 1 opens. Drinking and eating. Who Dey

[grampahol]

I'll be there in spirit. Just look for some grumpy old bastard pissed off at some drunk young punk who spilled beer on him and think of me.  Otherwise I'll be screwing around with the antenna trying to find the game on TV till I give up and find some feed online.

This ableist promises you that he never once bought tickets in that section.  But, I must admit that once, just after the gates opened, I did walk over there and have a look at that section.  Those are nice seats with a great height/angle on the field.  

Much appreciated! You’re my dude!


One dude on here got on here and bragged about buying tickets in the crippled section even though he’s an ableist.

They’re the best seats in the place but I’d rather not need them!

Holy shit, I thought they stopped drafting people in the 70's!  Have you considered a move to Canada?

My son and I watched the end of the KC game in an empty disabled section on the club level. He had an untimely request for a restroom break, and it was the closest view when he got finished.  It was not occupied and I have to say it was pretty nice.

Every time the Bills and Bengals played, I'd meet up with a friend of mine.

She passed just before Christmas.

I still haven't emotionally processed it outside of an outburst of rage when my tattoo artist cancelled our appointment due to weather and when I broke down crying listening to a song that reminded me of her.

So sorry, BPK.  If you're a believer, He has promised to dry every tear.  Regardless, hold on to your memories.

I'm kidding! I would love to say hey and meet you!

Ruby's, damn. High roller!  Enjoy that steak.

I hit JR's with the wife on special occasions but I do my pre-gaming at Plum Street Cafe.  Definite dive bar with good, cheap burgers served with Grippo's, which is about as Cincinnati as it gets.  People are cool and the beer is cold.  Brad, it gets pretty crowded and you might have trouble maneuvering.  Then again, you're hell on wheels and you can make your own space.

That's where me and the wife went for our last 2 games attended (Cards '19 and Bucs in '18). Decent walking distance and i can always find a spot plus the food is tasty.

I should've mentioned she was a Bills fan, so bringing a W for her is an L for us.

She wouldn't want me rooting for the Bills over the Bengals on account of her - matter of fact she'd slap the taste out of my mouth for lying to her.

We'll give her that L and I'll cope with any emotional fallout regardless.

Oh man I'm so sorry  to hear that.  Praying for you.  Friends like that are so rare.  Hope a win will lift the pall a little.  As one of my quad residents  says, "Angels be with you"
