When the Cincinnati Bengals take on the Baltimore Ravens for their first game of the season, and the first televised on Monday Night Football; Cincinnati will be looking for getting more benefits than just a good football game.

The city, the Chamber of Commerce and the Visitors Bureau are hoping that the game and its national TV coverage will boost recognition of Cincinnati as a major league city with big city attractions.

With ESPN planning a full day of programming from Cincinnati, Fountain Square is organizing a huge downtown "tailgate" party of sorts, starting at Noon. The event is called "Get Your Game Face On", and it will feature Bengals fans outfits and, not surprisingly, face painting, along with games, tailgate food, a calm bake and lobster boil.

It will be the start of what Fountain Square management hopes will become a tradition, with similar 'tailgate' parties planned on Fountain Square before every Bengals home game. For Monday night games, the Fountain Square party will be held that day at Noon. For weekend games, the party will be held on Friday between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. and a Bengals Bash Fridays between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.

In addition, Metro is adding a new Bengals Express pickup stop at Western Hills High School. Buses will start leaving Western Hills High 70 minutes before kickoff and drop fans off at the Riverfront Transit Center, next to Paul Brown Stadium. The new Western Hills High stop for the Bengals Express will join seven other pickup points. The Round-trip fare for all the Bengals Express routes is $10.[/quote]
