Paul Brown Stadium will open its gates to fans for the first time on Saturday, as the team hosts "Family Day"; a practice that includes multiple activities for fans, and a stripped down version of the once-popular intrasquad-scrimmages. Cincinnati is expecting a significant turnout.
"There is plenty of room in the stadium for everyone," said Bengals vice-president Katie Blackburn. "We want to welcome all fans to our 2015 season, and we hope the date being a Saturday will help people make it."
There are activities for kids, free to all fans actually, include inflatables, face painting, balloon artists, pictures with team mascot Who Dey, an NFL Play 60 Activity Zone, and a Ben-Gals Cheer Zone. The first 2,000 kids to visit the Kids Club Booth will receive a Bengals water bottle, a poster and a chance to win a Kids Club membership. All fans will have an opportunity to win one of 10 Bengals Prize Packs by simply Tweeting a photo from practice with #LetsRoar.
If you're looking to become a season-ticket holder, representatives will be on hand to show fans available Season Ticket locations. Fans can buy season tickets for as low as $35 per seat per game this season.
