The state of LA is demanding NFL TV networks cover Bengals games here . (Burrow, Chase, Lael Collins, Tyler Shelvin, Thad Moss) All LSU grads. I’m in Baton Rouge & have become a HUGE Bengals fan . Most of my friends are also fans now. Even the city of New Orleans has tons of LSU fans there and despite the Saints being located there, the Saints usually come on the opposite major TV network than the Bengals & often at different times. Even die hard Saints fans that I know have made the bengals their “other favorite team” especially since the Bengals play in the AFC, not the NFC (like the Saints). Bengals vs Saints this year in the Superdome had 25,000 Bengals fans there.
Awesome.
I understand the LSU connection, but this could truly be Cincy's "Steeler Nation" era.

Those players impressed a Hell of a lot of "Free Agent Fans" all across the USA that became lifelong fans. Most of those were little kids that later grew up during their down time and started having families of their own around the resurgent Bill Cowher era. That's when their fans started taking over the road team's stadiums.
