My office is moving and I helped clean out a storage room. In the back of the room was an official game program from the October 22nd, 2006 Cincinnati Bengals vs. Carolina Panthers game. So, of course I had to swipe it and read it.
On page 62, there's an article about the three stadiums the Bengals have had. I didn't know they had three. The first one was Nippert Stadium, and they played there from 1968-69. There's a tiny aerial photo of the stadium, but you can't see it very well. It looks like a Mid-American Conference stadium.
Do any diehard Bengal fans know much about this facility? What ever became of it? Where in Cincinnati was it? I know these questions are probably a 'shot in the dark', but I'm curious if anyone knows of this place, or anything about it.
Apparently, the final game played in the stadium was between the Bengals and Boston. Boston? Is Boston the Patriots?

In addition, if anyone wants this program, I don't mind shipping it to you. Just PM me, if interested.

Nippert is still there... It's a pretty unique stadium, built into the ground right in the middle of the UC campus. It doesn't really have any permanent gates or boundary walls, so the main concourse is just another campus pathway when it's not game day (although they did just do a renovation of it, so I'm not sure if that it still the case) And yes, that would have been the Boston Patriots (AFL). The New England name didn't come about until they moved to the first Foxboro Stadium in 1971, before that they played at Boston University, Fenway Park, Boston College and Harvard.
