The Bengals Experience

I haven't had a chance to see the new stadium, so I jumped at the chance to drive up to Cincinnati to watch the pre-season home opener against the Carolina Panthers Thursday night. A good time was had by all.

Pre-game warm-ups.

This is Brittney, the featured Ben-gal. She's a kindergarten teacher . . . "but, of course, you are."

Pre-game prayer.

National Anthem.

Someone thought they where wearing their black pants tonight . . . 

Action on the field.

A cat on the prowl.

An escalator to heaven.

My friend Angie and our adopted son for the game.

Cute!

Some people will do anything to get their faces on the scoreboard.
