If you're going, feel free to reply in this thread or PM me if you want advice on where to go/what to do... I'd recommend tailgating in the Longworth Hall lot, just west of the stadium: http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&q=longworth+hall+cincinnati&fb=1&gl=us&hq=longworth+hall&hnear=Cincinnati,+OH&cid=0,0,3349771728493801928&ei=dAKkTL3uJYOClAfMqvmQCw&ved=0CBgQnwIwAQ&t=h&ll=39.096046,-84.524184&spn=0.00468,0.009645&z=17&iwloc=A I'm told that parking is $30-40/car and that they have charged $5/head if you don't park there but want to walk in. Despite the high cost, the proximity to the stadium and great atmosphere is worth it. Since it's not a county owned lot, I don't think that they abide by the "4 hour before kickoff" rule, so I'd suggest getting there before 8am to secure a spot. Also, despite the fact that we're having (yet another) down season, we've still got this to enjoy...gotta keep the streak alive: 11/26/89 - CIN 7 @ BUF 24 10/21/91 - CIN 16 @ BUF 35 11/17/96 - CIN 17 @ BUF 31 12/06/98 - BUF 33 @ CIN 20 12/29/02 - CIN 9 @ BUF 27 10/05/03 - CIN 16 @ BUF 22 12/19/04 - BUF 33 @ CIN 17 12/24/05 - BUF 37 @ CIN 27 11/04/07 - CIN 21 @ BUF 33 10 in a row! Lets go Buffalo!
coastalpika Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I will be there. These Bengals fans are dumping their tickets like crazy right now so it should be a cheap game to attend. Anyone know where the Pinto typically tailgates out there?
pintoRon Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 I’ll be at the Longworth hall lot that Udonkey has recommended. It should be noted that Longworth Hall is a long building with parking lots both north and south of the hall. I’ll be in the lot to the north of the building. The Pinto stays in Buffalo, but I’ll have a “community” grill, tables and some basic supplies on hand (paper towels, utensils, 16 pound shot glass, etc.). I’m hoping to get a couple of cars in a convoy so we can string a few together in the lot early. Late comers can walk over. Feel free to PM me for my cell number.

Kenny - I'll PM you w/ my contact info. I'll be driving a Tahoe, so will have some capacity to help bring supplies.
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 I'll be there. Short drive from Columbus. Unfortunately, we got our tix in the summer and paid around $80 each ...We have 8 seats and will be bringing 4 Bills fans to meet up with 4 Bengal fan college buddies of mine. I don't know if they have our tailgate spot picked out yet but I will suggest this place if they don't.
Golden Wheels Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 I'm flying in and going to the game with some friends from Kentucky. I remember the Longworth Hall lot from the last time the Bills played in Cincinnati. Will look for other Bills fans there. Don't want to jinx us, but the weather forecast is looking good. High around 60 and partly sunny.
jwolf02 Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 My wife and I will be there, but I'm not sure what our AM plans are since we just had a kid, but it'd be nice to try and catch up to Longworth north with the rest of you guys.

pintoRon Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 A couple of us are meeting at a Sunoco gas station at 901 W 8th Street at 7:45 and will convoy in to the Longworth lot. This will allow us to get a few cars in a row to give us enough space to allow others to walk over and join us. You can either join the convoy, or find us in the lot. More than likely since we will be early we will be in either the first or last row. Udonkey (Mike) will be driving a Yukon/Tahoe type vehicle and will try to rig up his Bills flag. On my rental, I will have a bowling ball (16 pound shot glass) on the roof.
dollars 2 donuts Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I've been there 3 or 4 times (friends in the area) and i really like going to that stadium. I envy you guys. Please enjoy and be safe.

Please do! Since I'm flying up, I'll be lacking my normal tailgating gear. Packing the flag now to make sure I remember...

udonkey Posted November 22, 2010 Author Posted November 22, 2010 Thanks to all that came out! I think that we represented well...and we kept the streak alive!
Golden Wheels Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 It was good to see udonkey (Mike) again, and as usual pintoron was a very hospitable host at the tailgate. (Thanks for the wisnowika!) My friends from Cincinnati were knocked out by how friendly the Bills fans were and how united we were for a 2-8 team not to mention partying! It was a memorable afternoon, and a game I'll never forget. From being taunted in the first half by the cries of "WHO DEY? WHO DEY?" to utter and complete silence in the second half save for the other Bills fans screaming our lungs out in glee. Cheers!
