What is the secret ingredient?

Why have the Bengals lost their homefield advantage? Is it the field turf? Is it the new stadium? There has to be some way that the Jungle can return. In 88 it was like they could not lose at home, and they need that back. It is the 1 thing that us fans can actually control. Any suggestions for this Sunday?

How about the Bengals play better. That will fix the lack of home field advantage.

All the season ticket holders scalping their seats to the enemy like good capitalists that they are!

I think part of it is actually the stadium. First, the Bengal fans just don't compare to the rowdiness of other fans around the league. Everyone always goes nuts about this, but visit a few of the nosier stadiums in the league and you'll see that there's no comparison with fan involvement Second, I actually think the design of the stadium, though visually attractive, lets sound waves escape Those two big openings are either end don't keep the sound echoing inside the field - the bowl shape of stadium serves exactly this purpose.

I don't see as many games live as season ticket holders, but I have to agree I've been disappointed sometimes with the crowd at PBS. Early in the games the fans are fine, but by the 3rd quarter they've either gotten lazy or have ran out of gas.
