BengalBuck Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Over the last three years we have all witnessed a huge shift in the way the Bengals go about their business. They have drafted better, they have spent money not only on free agents, but the right free agents and they have broken free of some old traditions that may have been holding the franchise back or maybe down. All this has culminated into a better product on the field, a great locker room, a sold out stadium and one ugly ass, giant red sign on that beautiful stadium. If saying that signage is ugly is wrong, I don't want to be right. Signed Not A Negative Bengals Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 FWIW... Went to the Pro Shop this morning, saw the completed thing. In a word... hideous. Should have taken a pic but didn't. May go back tomorrow. Ugly red orange color and detracts from the excellent architecture of the stadium. Somehow looks cheap and tacky. (no white helmets or mini helmets although they do have a new camouflage pattern Bengal hoodie that looks good. No sale. Have too many others already.

Not bad, really, although they have difficulty reading my paper hard copy tix. However, I always get their early like when the gates open and kill time until I feel like going out to my seat. As a P.S., I certainly hope it levels out with real football fans and not a bunch of people all Bengaled up just to whoop it up at a preseason game just to say "I went to a Bengals game". Still amazed at how many little kids were there including infants. Pretty pricy for the whippersnappers who don't have a clue what is going on and get bored and want to whine and run around.

Fortunately, Amish had the foreknowledge to propose “moving” up 6 rows in Sect 104 for this season. Glad to have agreed. Amazing what a few rows will accomplish: this will be smack-dab in not only the heart of really long-time season ticket holders, but also a good amount of players’ families. So, gone will be the days of the Stub-hub purchased “fans”…those who are going to a first game, arrive late, leave early, drink and gab incessantly; all the while pontificating that “Burrow needs to go deep” plus a thousand other broadcaster talking points. Plus, and even more importantly, not being around anymore “fans” of other teams—who have never actually been to the cities the teams are from, and their “lifelong fandom” being derived from watching them on TV. Bliss, I tell you, real fan bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finally have ownership working hard to keep up with bigger markets and deeper pockets. If they had done this a year earlier, maybe they would've been able to offer Bates the kind of guaranteed money he would be able to get on an extension almost anywhere else. I'm glad ownership realizes what a rare opportunity they have been given and are doing whatever they can to compete in an ever-changing NFL marketplace. if teams didnt sacrifice a decade of cap for mediocre players we wouldnt be in this spot, but here we are.

Never sat upper deck in B-more. I was warned about it. The most shit I ever got from their fans was a lower deck game that my bro and I celebrated when we scored anda their fans were pissded about it but nothing too bad. I remember the year we drafted Pollack, I had bought his jersey and wore it to the game, some guy going into the stadium was with his elementary school age kids and walking up behind me and kept saying "Look a Pollak", he gets in front of me wearing a Rey Lewis jersey so I said out loud where his kids could hear it "Look a murder" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Tigre Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 One of the many keys to enjoying a roadie, is either sporting highly demurred colors, or none at all. I have had my share of foreign stadium abuse, and in my younger days of being more pugilistic, is better for one's overall safety. Any more, when I do travel, it is basically incognito unless in a large group. I do recall once in Detroit (1986) when I did sport a jersey. The Bengals won on a last minute catch by Collinsworth/1-yard dive by Kinnebrew. Never saying a word, my ex-wife and I were accosted by a half-dozen Lion "fans" at the end of the aisle exit. One behemoth (he was really BIG) got in my face screaming every epithet but what day it was. I was thinking "do I go low, or go for the throat?". My ex--all 110 pounds of her--jumps in between and points straight into his face "You're not a very good sport!". Dude didn't know what to say, and his buddies were laughing so hard and saying "guess she told you!", the whole incident evaporated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
