Over my 38 years, I've been to several games in Cincinnati and been to the last two games vs. the Panthers in Charlotte.
The last game I attended was the Christmas Eve game vs. the Buffalo Bills many moons ago. My about to be 75 yr old father, who lives in Middletown, is a Browns fan because they were the only team in the state when he was a little boy. He used to always take me to Bengals training camp in Wilmington growing up when I would visit in the summertime. So of course I fell in love with the team and have been a Bengals fan since the 80s. Now both of my sons are Bengals fans too. I've been to a few Bengals games with my dad over the years, but NEVER to a Bengals vs. Browns game with him. This was the top thing on my bucket list, to attend one WITH him. Well, he called me a few weeks ago to inform me that he had tickets for us!
I made the trip up from North Carolina and will be attending the game today. I've never been so excited to attend a  sporting event as I am today! Now, let's hope the Bengals don't make my trip home a longer one, lol.
I've met up with a few of you at games over the years. I remember meeting Turk and BengalThing, followed by BengalThing stealing my tailgate drink name for his own...BengalBombs(Orange soda & Jaegermeister). ?
I don't post on here like I used to on the old boards. But I still read from the weeds. Sorry for the rambling, but this game is very special for me.
We are leaving to go do some tailgating this morning @9. Maybe I will run into some of you down there and put a face to a name. I'll be in section 116 wearing a Ja'Maarvelous jersey and dad in a Jim Brown jersey.
Is anyone else attending the game today?

That is really cool.  I hope you guys have a great time and the Bengals come out on top!

I took my dad to the Ring of Honor game, and that might be our last one.  He's 88 and it was a lot of work.  We had a great time, but in the four years since I gave up my season tickets, he has lost a lot of his stamina due to a knee injury.

Here's to you having a great day with your family.  Safe travels home, too.
