Ickey44 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 You're driving down here to watch from a sports bar? Idk, I live in Florence so I really don't know downtown all that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregstephens Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm driving DOWN from Michigan. What Sports bar is by the stadium? With lots of TV's, that I'll have a shot at actually sitting?Google Newport on the Levee, KY. Should give you some decent places I'd assume. Parking be easier.

Wraith Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I used to go to Willie's in Western Hills. Last I remember (it's been three years now) there aren't alot of Sports Bar options downtown. Stubhub is selling nosebleed tickets at $25 a seat, we could really use you at the game!

He doesn't want to pay 9 bucks a beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubhub is selling nosebleed tickets at $25 a seat, we could really use you at the game!Stubhub tix are going at about face value. $50 plus 15% per ticket Stubhub fee. The $25 isnt really there. Maybe a bidding ticket.Is this game even sold out?Im still feeling the crappiness of fans in Cincy. Im getting from people that it will be too cold to go to the game and that they dont want to tailgate because of the weather.Maybe one day this city will be a respected rabid fanbase. lololol...right(I was at the Browns/Jax game this weekend and my beer froze, but It was good fun)Browns fans still tailgated strong.I do hope we can make the Jets a little uncomfortable in our house. Hopefully the stadium isnt full of Jets fans. BUt there are 7000 tix available on stubhub so, there might be a lot of empty seats.Wow - that just sunk in. 7000 seats available on stubhub. There will definitely be a ton of Jets fans there. />http://www.stubhub.com/cincinnati-bengals-playoff-tickets/bengals-vs-jets-1-9-2010-908732/?isGen2Event=1Cincinnati sucks sometimes. No wonder players dont want to play here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjakq27 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Where are you staying at? That is an important consideration too.There is a bar near Fountain Square in the Westin (can't remember the name) but it looks like a good place to watch a game and it's only 4 blocks from the stadium.

I wish people would be excited for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm kind of bummed. I bought my tickets immediately after they beat Kansas City. I overpaid. I assumed the longer I waited, the more people would get excited and the prices would shoot up. Perhaps I need to revisit my college economics books.

Another possibility is Cadillac Ranch on 6th St one block north of Fountain Square Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Im still feeling the crappiness of fans in Cincy. Im getting from people that it will be too cold to go to the game and that they dont want to tailgate because of the weather. There's no way I would miss this game if I still called the hinterland my home. And I say that having just returned from the buckeye state with the memory of single digit temps still fresh on my mind, skin, and nose hairs.

Im thinking the temperature wont be an issue for me.WHo Dey!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
