Out of those tailgate experiences I would rate ours behind KC for sure.. and bunched in with Cleveland and Baltimore.. and ahead of the rest. As for viewing the game out of those stadiums and access into stadium I would put KC, Tenn ahead of us.
I like to start tailgating around 9am. Cook food, drink beer play cornhole and some jams. Meet a lot of people (almost everyone forgotten when I wake up with that nasty hangover Monday mornings). Plus, always gotta have a shrimp ring and a few bottles of water and pop for those who enjoy without the alcohol, or don't want to start that early. LOL... I type this like I'm a heavy tailgator. I haven't done it since I let me tickets go 7yrs ago.
Although, I do have my mancave and people come over for that and we jam and cook and stuff sometimes. But usually its just people showing up 1/2 hour before the game and we watch football. I hate this because it removes my excuse to drink before noon.
This year should be different. Bengals are going to be exciting to watch. Last 2 yrs? Well, it's more of a wake than a football party.
