First tailgating since '06.

My last game was the playoff loss to San Diego.  I was moving and working on my house in fall of '15, and when I went to buy a playoff ticket like i did in '14 they were sold out. My dad died before the 16 season and in 17 I was dealing with a bad knee that made it VERY painful to do the walking required at a game. Since then they have been a hot mess that I have not cared to go to the cost and trouble to watch live.

But I will be there Thursday.

In 2006 I went with Joe From Florence, who was one of my main nemisis from the old board. We did some tailgating where I met BengalThing and Turk and some more I can't remember.  But every year after that I stayed with a good friend of mine in Mason until I went straight to the game. I always parked in a garage in Newport and took the shuttle to the stadium. So no tailgating since '06.

This year I will be driving straight up from Tennesse before the game. I plan on getting there way before the game.  

So any suggestions on where to hang before the game. Are the lots restricted to the people parking there?

I hope you have a great experience. I parked in a lot off 3rd street that was right across from a Bengals lot. It was a little more expensive, but close for getting to the game and out of the game and on the road. There are also more lots down 3rd street past the bridge heading west that are a little cheaper also. Easy to head down the hill to the tailgate scene also.
Have fun
