NASHVILLE — Cincinnati Bengals fan Ernie Mills decided to show some team spirit Thursday morning, dressing up numerous statues around Nashville in Bengals gear.
Some of the statues dressed in black and orange include the Elvis Presley statue and the Loretta Lynn, Jimmy Dickens and Bill Monroe statues outside the historic Ryman Auditorium.
"I have great respect for the statues surrounding the Ryman and in the Nashville area," Mills said via Facebook. "I was just trying to have some fun ahead of the game."
