The Bengals Board Meetup

I know a lot of times these kinds of things can be all talk...but I really think we have enough of a following here to make something like this happen every year. I'd love to get at least 10 people committed to make this a reality.

So, here's what I am thinking. I am going to throw out three dates that we meetup, watch a Bengals game, throw some back, and have a good time together. Which ever date has the most votes is the date we will go with.

Locationwise, I am thinking the Holy Grail banks right in downtown Cincinnati.

So, please vote for which date works better or if you DO NOT plan on attending. If there is enough interest, I can start drawing up the plans and we can make it "official". I'd also like to tie in a fundraiser for this entire thing - donations going to the Joe Burrow Athens Hunger Relief Fund. It never hurts to include a good cause.

You should have made it a multi-option poll so those who can make all 3 dates give let you know they are open, and then you could choose the one that hits most people.  Right now you're spread all over and don't know about people optionality, but just their preferences.

I have no come back for this because it’s true about this state.
I will take the L on this one!

Why no 1:00 pm options? That being said I could make most dates. Prefer one of the 4:30 games.

If I had a dollar for every ranting Englishman I ran into at Bengals games…

Do I need to wear one? How many other crippled members are there?!

I will pick Brad up and drop him off if he needs a ride.

My luck, I would be $5k deep in covering table dances for Brad at the Brass ass by nights end. And worth every penny!

I'm back in!

Yeah........... it took me until halfway down the second page for it to click lol

I voted for the Dallas game but I obviously need a mod to change that because I'll be in Dallas for that game.

So conceptually, I'd have some interest in going to a game as a group.

That said, I don't know if this fall will work out to get to Cincy.

I may catch the Bengals in another city.

We are located on the far east side of Lot E near the south east corner of Paycor Stadium (thats the first time I haven't said PBS and it seems strange).

Would love to host you guys and gals any game!

Awesome Jim!

I recommend pants and shirts.

At least for our first meeting.

They are suppose to toss the shoes down when crossing the Brent Spence bridge so you folks from KY have some to use in OH

They used to, but they kept blowing back across the Brent Spence on their own because Ohio sucks so much.....I mean the only two things worth a shit to ever come out of the state is Johnny Paycheck and I -75.....

I'm in CT otherwise I'd be all about putting faces to names.

Mostly I want to meet Fred in person.

Then immediately regret it.

[basballguy]

I moved to Denver but still going back to Dallas for that game.

I live two counties east of shittsburgh. Can confirm your theory.

Ummm, Joe Burrow?  Paul Brown?  Hudy Delight (just kidding).

To the OP:  Speedy lives an easy drive from PBS (forever PBS) and is a definite maybe for any of the proposed dates.

Last time I went to any kind of meetup with people from online anything it was an unmitigated disaster..when it was finally over and three people wanted rides way beyond my gas rationing allotment at the time it started raining bigly when the temperature was just above freezing and of course my car wouldn't start .. Wife at the time was with me and was NOT impressed with any of the people..Neither was I for that matter. So we waited about 5 hours after the bar was closed for a cab in the car and the roof leaked as well.. 
Boy! Do I ever want to do THAT again!  How about a meetup too far away from civilization in old beat to crap cars in the rain in 33 degree temperatures? Who's in? 

[Fan_in_Kettering]

I’m in! I’ve always wanted to meet most of you.
