loyal2dagame Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I bought tickets to the game in Cincy. Can anyone give experiences with the area? What's the must see spots or must do things? Where's the Bills bars, ect. We'll be there for a few days before we hit Ky for the Bourbon Trail. I'd love to meet up with any TBDers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I went to the 2017 game in Cincinnati…. Not one of my best Bills memories…rained heavily throughout the game and the Bills lost…Tyrod was the QB… haven’t we come a long way in that department… Sightseeing opportunities were limited from memory 1 minute ago, teef said: I’ve heard Cincinnati is in Ohio.

In all seriousness I have considered going. It'd be a turn and burn trip that I would drive home immediately after the game. Flights from Cinci to Greensboro would take just as long as flying. From my brief exposure to the city is that there are areas there are very rough. The campus there is surrounded by some weird places. The Bengals fans are like you average falcon, Panther, bears, or redskins fan. They're a notch below the titans and a full wrung below the browns. Maybe the best comparison is Ravens fans but not as trashy, but just as passionate. Edited December 21, 2022 by boyst 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta111 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Over on KY side is Newport on the levee. There’s the Newport Aquarium and lots of good places to eat/drink. I generally park over there and take shuttle to stadium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to college near Cincy and have lived in Columbus for 15+ years so I’ve seen the Bills there probably 5 times. It’s a pretty good time and people are generally decent. Newport is fun but more so in the summer. I have a room booked for this game but haven’t bought tickets and probably will end up skipping. The proximity is enticing but have a bunch of other stuff going on and might just focus my efforts on playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djp14150 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 The stadium is right along the river. The baseball stadium is just down the waterfront. Cincinati downtown is nothing special. my brother and his family bought tix. They book a hotel for the night a few blocks from the stadium. just be prepared if you go…. chargers at bengals AFC championship was one of the coldest games ever. -9 air temp. Wind chill at -58F. This game was played on Jan 10 1982. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I was just in Cincinnati for work a month or two ago. Downtown is actually pretty cool. There are a bunch of skyline chilis. If you don’t have any, don’t worry about it. And if you do, don’t worry about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to a Bills @ Cincy game a few years back. I can't speak to any must see spots or Bills bars, but I can tell you that the fans there are very nice. We did not tailgate, but instead went to a bar near the parking lot. No idea what the name of the bar is, but it's directly across the street from the Reds Museum or Hall of Fame. The place was MOBBED, obviously with Bengals fans. I was shocked at how nice people were. I thought I'd have to wait an hour to get to the bar, but Bengals fans let me right through. In the stadium, it was much of the same. Very friendly fans. I haven't been to many away games, but this was easily the most pleasant one. And the Bills won, so that was sweet. Enjoy!

947 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I went to a Bengals/Ravens game there about 10 years ago. I was hungover at the game, and the entire lower section stood up for the whole game. I had no choice but to stand also. That part was awful. The city is pretty cool, we stayed at a hotel walking distance from the stadium. The bars in Kentucky were great, hence the hangover.

Donuts and Doritos Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Going to the game with my 2 boys. Staying Kentucky side. (12 hr road trip) Cousin of mine is a Bengals fan (weird thing is he's from Buffalo) said there are tons of bars & restaurants on the streets around the stadium & that's where most of the pre-game festivities take place.

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 For some reason, I was there for a bengals/browns Monday nighter back in the early 80s … barely remember being there. Also went for an OSU spring game when the shoe was being refurbished. Don’t remember much then either. Stadium didn’t impress … an upgrade from highmark, but certainly no palace..has friends stay a few nights last year, and they said they liked it, but I have no specifics. I know, I’m not any help lol, but I guess you’ll be eating chili 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsatlastin2018 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 I stop there on the way to relatives in Tennessee or snowbirding in Florida! We have stayed about 30 minutes outside the Kentucky border and the accommodations are decent. So are the rib joints, but overall, bit of a shitehole!

Dan Darragh Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) You have to get Graeter's ice cream at Fountain Square (right downtown). Try any of the flavors with chocolate chunks and then come back here and thank me. Also a lot of nice craft beer places in Findlay Market which was a slum back in the 70s when I went to UC but now it's all fixed up. Last time I was in Cincinnati it was a random summer day and I saw a guy walking down 4th Street with a Bills shirt. So I said "Go Bills!" and he responded "Hey hey, Josh signed his extension!"

Graeter’s Black Raspberry Chip is my all time favorite ice cream. It is available at Buffalo area Wegman’s. Still worth a trip tho. If you are a craft beer fan, Rhinegeist would be on my list to visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
