The Bengals season is upon us, and that means it’s time to gear up and get ready for some epic gamedays! As a die-hard Bengals fan and a proud season ticket holder, I’ve picked up a few tips and tricks for making gameday truly awesome. So, whether you’re a seasoned tailgater or a first-time attendee, here are 5 ways to make the most of your gameday experience with the Cincinnati Bengals.
1. Embrace the Bengals Spirit
On game day, my wife Cathy and I always make sure to fully dress the part. From head to toe, we’re decked out in white, black, and of course, the iconic orange. It’s all about showing your team spirit and joining in on the electric atmosphere at the stadium. Even our dog, Jax, gets involved! Another great way to add some fun is to download one of the free phone wallpapers that are available on the official Bengals website. Not only does it show support for the team, but it’s also a great way to keep the excitement alive, even when you’re not at the game.
2. Arrive Early and Soak Up the Atmosphere
We love getting to the stadium early to soak up the pre-game excitement. Along the river, there’s always so much going on – the energy is infectious. Whether it’s checking out Bengal Jim’s area or joining in on the tailgating festivities, arriving early adds a whole new level of excitement to the gameday experience. Check out the “fan guide” to make sure you are totally prepared.
3. Tailgate Like a Gameday Pro
Speaking of tailgating, we take our tailgate game seriously. We gather with friends, fire up the grill, and indulge in some delicious food and drinks. It’s the perfect way to kick off the gameday fun and bond with fellow Bengals fans. Certain lots are designated for this purpose, and we make sure to adhere to Paycor’s rules. The camaraderie and excitement make each tailgating experience memorable, and we eagerly anticipate the next game day to continue the tradition.
4. Join in the Cheers and Chants
Once inside the stadium, we love joining in on the cheers and chants reverberating through the crowd. There’s nothing quite like being part of a sea of cheering fans, all unified in their support for the Bengals. It’s an experience like no other.
5. Stay Until the Final Whistle
No matter the score, Cathy and I always stay until the very end. Win or lose, showing our support until the final whistle is a point of pride for us. Plus, you never know when the Bengals might pull off an epic comeback – and we wouldn’t want to miss it!
So, there you have it – 5 ways to make gameday awesome with the Cincinnati Bengals. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to the Bengals family, embracing these gameday traditions will take your experience to a whole new level.
