> And there will still be a lot of Rams fans in the stadium and the tailgating in the lot will be humungous. Pretty sure the season ticket holders of both teams have the chance to purchase tickets in any super bowl, being in LA I’d say most of them will attend or sell there tickets to other locals, not as many from Cincinnati will sell to other Cincinnati fans as they will post them for sell to the highest bidder.
I don’t know about that - the Rams [tried to keep 49ers fans out for the Championship game](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/rams-change-ticket-policy-for-2022-nfc-championship-game-in-hopes-of-keeping-49ers-fans-out-of-sofi-stadium/), and failed miserably, as seen by Stafford having to go to a silent count. As I understand it, Rams fans are tepid at best, and I’m sure a lot of them are perfectly willing to sell their tickets to rabid Bengals fans who haven’t been to a Super Bowl for 3 decades.

Maybe, but everyone loves a winner and there’s a lot of monied people in SoCal who’d love to be there. Not real fans, of course.

Huh, didn’t realize that, woulda thought they were everywhere.
So, definite disadvantage to the Bengals then.

You can buy White Castle at grocery stores on the west coast from the frozen foods section and microwave them.
Not as good as the restaurant but close. My ex-wife was from North Carolina and I used to buy them for her. She said it was okay and kept having me get them.
(I could never stand White Castle, but then again onions make me sick.)

That’s the thing though - monied people who aren’t real fans aren’t going to be screaming their heads off when the Bengals are on offense in an attempt to screw up the play call & snap count.
