A lot of fun going on there. They have all the buses people paint orange, lots of music, fire pits... people giving away free shots. A strong, healthy pro-Cincinnati vibe going on there. I always walk through there. Great tailgating. WHO DEY
*On the opposite side of the stadium (east side), up the stairs... is the area where you can buy beer at restaurants/bars and have an open container. I forget what it is called but it is by the Banks area in Cincinnati @ Freedom Way street. It is a small area that gets packed. It starts at the Reds Stadium and goes back to the stadium. I have gotten drinks @ Jefferson Social. And I had no issues getting a beer within 2-3 people ahead of me. Live music, tons of people. I would say this is more "pre-game" then tailgating.
I have also noticed walking back to my hotel after the game that there is free parking on 7th street. Put "Jedson Engineering" into your GPS/Google Maps.
*This is the DORA (designated outdoor refreshment area) https://www.fox19.com/2021/03/16/heres-when-youll-be-able-carry-beer-cocktails-around-banks/
Awesome! Thanks for the info. We'll be coming from 5th st and on the east side of stadium. Cool tips man, thanks.
