Cleve-Lens: Browns vs. Bengals tailgate 2009

Cleve-Lens: Browns vs. Bengals tailgate 2009

The battle of Ohio was a rough one for the Cleveland Browns Sunday, as they lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in a close overtime game.

So, let's not talk about the game. Let's talk about the tailgate parties instead! Masses of brown and orange sweatshirts, Brady Quinn and Joe Thomas jerseys and, of course, some "I hate the Bengals" T-shirts filled the muni lot. Lots of loud music and beer pong tables added excitement to the atmosphere.  

While the battle of Ohio took place at Cleveland Browns Stadium, the fight for the muni lot was held all day long. Click through our photos and you'll see why.
