Bengals to host fan rally at Paul Brown Stadium for 'Super Bowl LVI Opening Night'

Season ticket holders get presale access

The idea was first tossed out last week by Commissioner Alicia Reece, who pushed to host a watch party at the stadium for the Bengals-Chiefs game in the AFC Championship. However, the county said there simply wasn’t enough time to coordinate the event. This time around there are two weeks to plan.
