I'll start.

1. I lived in Dayton from October 1953 to October 1981, with a 4 year bid in the Air Force from 1971-1975.
2. Never had season tickets.
3. I would say 2 games a year on average.
4. I saw them at Nippert and Riverfront. When I left there PBS had not been built yet.
5. Never been to a Super Bowl, but I was fortunate enough to attend game 5 in the 1975 WS and game 1 in the 1976. Saw the Reds play at Crosley and Riverfront, but Great American Ballpark wasn't built when I left there.

I live in the viewing area, have had season tickets, since the late 70's, every home game,and some away games, I have seen them play at all three stadiums, and went to the super bowl in Detroit

3. Those that live in the area, how many games a year do you attend on an average? 8 in 2012, missed both Manning games due to illness.
4. How many other old farts in here, like myself, that can say they have seen the Bengals play at Nippert, Riverfront, and Paul Brown Stadium? I have not, I grew up in St. Louis
5. Has anyone ever attended a Super Bowl? If so, when and where? Nope, probably never will

Xenia does count. I remember the tragic tornadoes of 1974. I was in the military at the time but saw the aftermath.

Wow! Where did you go to HS at in Dayton? I am also a transplant just south of Tampa in Cape Coral.

Was born in Cincinnati, raised in Dayton. I lived in Cincinnati for many years, but left in 2011.

2. How many in here have season tickets?

Had season tickets with my parents for 14 years. Gave them up after the second year in PBS.

3. Those that live in the area, how many games a year do you attend on an average?

I live in Florida now, but I try to see about 2 or 3 games a year, including preseason.

4. How many other old farts in here, like myself, that can say they have seen the Bengals play at Nippert, Riverfront, and Paul Brown Stadium?

Sorry. I had season tickets in Riverfront for 12 years, PBS for 2 years. Never made it to Nippert.

5. Has anyone ever attended a Super Bowl? If so, when and where?

No. My parents went to Miami to watch the Bengals, but alas, I didn't.

I still never miss a Bengals game. I go to my local Buffalo Wild Wings (outside Tampa) whenever they're on. I even traveled to Jacksonville to watch them beat the Jaguars this past season. I got pictures with Orson Charles' mother, Dunlap's parents, and Geathers' father in Jacksonville. A.J. Green's parents were there, but I couldn't find them.

Who Dey 'til I die!

No I was born and raised in Dayton and moved to FL in 1981. Right in the middle of the playoffs. I got laid off my job and the rest of my family already lived here so I headed south.

I have heard the same. A big change. When you sign up and then don't show up, they don't even bother coming after you anymore.

In my day, it was considered AWOL once you signed on the dotted line!!

Lived in Huber Heights most of my childhood. Went to Wayne HS (same HS Braxton Miller QB for OSU went) for my freshman year, then switched to Patterson Co-op and graduated in 1971.

I remember Alter. Wasn't that a Catholic school at one time? Is it still up and running? I ask that because so many Dayton high schools have shut down.

1. Oregonia, Ohio (NE of Lebanon)
2. Never owned season tickets, my brother has though
3. One most years, but none this year
4. Riverfront and PBS only, not Nippert
5. Feb. 2007 Colts versus Bears in Miami, rained most the game, Peyton was MVP

[Old White Guy]

1.) Yes
2.) No- Live on a fixed income
3.) No- See above
4.) Nippert yes, Riverfront yes, Paul Brown no- See above
5.) Yes, Silverdome-Pontiac, Michigan 1982

1. Grew up in Hamilton, live in Loveland.

2. Since 2004. South end zone, row 46. It's my retirement gift to myself. I go with one of my kids.

3. Usually skip the preseason but attend the rest.

4. Never saw a game at Nippert (although I'm old enough). Saw many games at Riverfront, including the first preseason game and the first win. Jess Phillips took a Paul Brown wraparound handoff draw play to the house and we upset Oakland. Saw Ike Curtis torch Cleveland more than once. Probably my most memorable game was in the late 70's vs. the Browns. Pat McInally (punter) was pressed into duty as a wide receiver. Thom Darden knocked him out of the game in the 3rd quarter with a hit that would have gotten him arrested today. McInally came back in the 4th quarter and caught the game-winning TD.

5. It's on my bucket list -- but only if my favorite team is playing.

Archbishop Alter High School. Yeah, definitely Catholic and still going strong.
I graduated in 1978, the year of Alter's first state basketball championship. Having John Paxson starting as a junior guard (see Notre Dame, Chicago Bulls) definitely helped.

I knew his brother played with University of Dayton but had no clue they were from Dayton area.
