All event proceeds go to various local charities! Established in 1993 Bengals Jim's "Before the Roar" Tailgate Experience is the longest running tailgate to support our beloved Cincinnati Bengals. "Bengal Jim" Foster, Craig "Beerfest Craig" Johnson, and James "Speed Racer" Coppola own the tailgate vehicles and put on the party. Craig & James took the reins of the Cat Scratch Fever Van from origina

We pride ourselves on putting out a great spread, rockin Music, cold beer including Craft Beer on tap, Bloody Mary Bar, and the ceremonial Bengal Bombs a plenty. Always a fun and welcoming time for friends, strangers and even the opposition.

🎃 Old School Pumpkin Head Helmet Appreciation Post 🏈

No logos. No distractions. Just that clean orange shell that became one of the most iconic looks in football.

Paul Brown’s original “Pumpkin Head” helmet was simple, bold, and timeless. Decades later, it still turns heads and remains one of the sharpest helmets ever worn on an NFL field. 🔥

🐅 Bengal Jim & Friends Memorabilia Minute

“Every Piece Has a Story.”

The Bengals Report was a must-have for fans in the 1990s.

Before social media, this is how we stayed connected to the team. Great stories, player bios, behind-the-scenes features, and all the latest Bengals news delivered right to fans.

Pure nostalgia for Who Dey Nation.

Tonight we joined so many others at Skyline Chili Norwood to support Ally Hill’s family.

The line was out the door, every table was full, and the restaurant was packed with people showing up for a family hurting from an unimaginable loss.

A huge thank you to the Misleh family, Skyline Chili, Coca-Cola Consolidated, and everyone who came out to help. Seeing Cincinnati rally around Ally’s children was a powerful reminder of what makes this city special.

Cincinnati shows up when it matters.

Please continue to keep Ally’s family, friends, coworkers, and especially her two children in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️🙏🏾
