For The Fans
By The Fans.

Different backgrounds, different zip codes, different everything — none of it matters when the game is on. Sports has always had a way of putting people in the same room who would never otherwise end up there, and making them feel the same thing at the same time.

When McPherson's 52-yarder went through in overtime, Bengals fans in Seattle and Miami and rural Ohio felt it at the same second. That kind of shared moment is harder and harder to come by. Sports is one of the few places left where it still happens regularly.

Home Away From Home.

Bengals fans aren't just in Cincinnati. They're in Seattle bar rooms, Miami living rooms, Brooklyn apartments, and small towns where nobody else is wearing stripes. Some left Ohio and took the team with them. Some found the Bengals the way you find a good song — inexplicably, and then permanently.

Being a Bengals fan outside Cincinnati means becoming each other's people. You find each other at work, in comment sections, in the one bar in town that's showing the game. The Jungle extends a lot further than the Ohio River.

This is the virtual version of the famous fan map that thousands of Bengals fans from around the world have contributed to since it was first introduced at the Bengal Jim & Friends Tailgate Experience in 2018.
