Ever been to Georgetown? There's not a lot to do, especially during the summer when Georgetown College is out. There really aren't many excuses to go there unless you're going to be attending classes as a Georgetown Tiger or you live there. However, there is a three week period of time in which Bengals fans near and far migrate to the center of Kentucky: the Cincinnati Bengals training camp.
The Bengals released their training camp schedule today. Camp opens for the first time at 9 am on July 29 and closes on August 13. Here's the schedule:

Parking is $15 and admission is free. The snack stand is open during the day and from what I remember, it wasn't too terribly expensive as far as stadium food goes (I think I gave up just a couple fingers instead of an arm and a leg for a hotdog). Seriously though, it was a great time when I went and I plan on going back again. At the end of practice, most of the players walk down the fence line and sign autographs. It's a good chance to get an early look at the rookies and acquired free agents as well as get a chance to meet some of the players. I recommend you check it out.
