More About Me

my grandparents have owned season tickets since the Bengals inaguaral season, some of my first memories involve the Bengals winning and the Bengals losing. I remember The days of Dalton and Green, Palmer and Ocho, and now Burrow and Chase. My most fond memories are all related to the Bengals, those include watching the Bengals beat the Ravens in the 2022 Wildcard Round, me and my brother used my grandparents tickets and tailgated before the game, the tailgating was lots of fun and when the tailgaters made our way to the stadium, the streets surrounding the stadium erupted in a "WHO DEY" chant, this is still on of the most surreal moments of my entire life, the volume of the chant was unlike anything I had heard before. Once we got into the game, the surreal atmosphere continued, an NFL Primetime Playoff game, I had watched so many of them, but this time I was watching my team in-person playing in one  for the first time ever. My heart was racing, what if we face that classic Bengal fait we knew all to well, the heartbreaking fashion we'd grown so accustom too. The game was intense and I never sat down. The "Hubbard Yard Dash" is and will always be one of my favorite memories. Another one of my favorite Bengals memories is when we beat the Chiefs to secure the AFC North Championship. The day prior to the game my friend let me know that his family had tickets and his brother was not able to make it and I could take his spot. I was ecstatic ,one reason I always loved going to games just to be able to see great players from opposing , and this game we played the Chiefs, the star studded soon to be dynasty led by Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and Tyreek Hill. I was very excited to see these guys play and to hopefully see my Bengals who were 3.5 point home underdogs take them down. The game started as expected, the Chiefs jumped out to a large lead and the Bengals had to play catch-up, but the Bengals would win on a last second Evan Mcpherson FG, this would clinch the division and playoffs. Unbeknownst to us then, we had just watch the spark that lit the fire that is rivalry between these two teams. I have also seen my fair share of pain, I attended the game against the Steelers where Andy Dalton broke his thumb.
