Many of the Bengals fans who are singing "Kansas City, Here I Come" this week are eager to learn about gathering plans and tailgate locations for Sunday's AFC Championship game.
Many of the rest are wondering if they should start singing "Paul Brown Stadium, Here I Come."
Although earlier Tuesday, the Bengals' front office told WLWT no watch party was planned for Sunday, Hamilton County Commissioner Alicia Reece said Tuesday afternoon the county administrator was still checking into the possibility.
"And I'm getting so many calls from people who are calling our office sayin' this is great, this is, you know, I can't afford to go to Kansas City but I want to be a part of this," Reece said.
Many of the orange and black believers who were tailgating in Nashville last weekend are planning to do the same in Kansas City this weekend.
In Indianapolis, James Spink, who used to reside in Northern Kentucky, has been hearing from them.
"We're gettin' bombarded on social media with people, you know, askin' hey, where ya' gonna be? What time? You know, can we park there?" Spink said.
