Blacktop Culinarians Unite!
Since
2006, Hans Steiniger has traveled to major pro sports venues across the
country in an effort to understand how tailgating differs regionally as
one moves from city to city. Throughout this journey, numerous
connections were made with local tailgating groups eager to share their
experiences and open their grill pits to the many travelers that Quest
for 31. This is their story...

Member Bio:
It all started back in 2001. My dad, Ray Neace, called me one morning and told me to meet him at Longworth Hall before a Bengals home game. Dad had had season tickets for 30 years prior and we usually hit a sub shop before games but we decided to try something different. We found the experience to be quite exhilarating! We had a great time mingling with the other fans and watching all the different games and cookouts people had. My tailgating partner Greg Ivey, aka Quiet Storm, supplied us with a massive sound system and all the gear we needed to throw the ultimate tailgate party. We never went back to the sub shop!
Each year we have more and more people join us on game day. Some are family and friends and others are people we meet tailgating. After meeting up with the original Bengal Bomb Squad we started taking in Bengals fans from out of town as well as fans from other teams. We quickly found out the our crew shared a lot of the same attributes as the Bomb Squad and we were honored when they asked us to adopt their organizations name. Meeting new people, regardless of which team they cheer for, is one of my favorite parts of game day. We strongly encourage sportsmanship and we are happy to help out with charitable activities.
Anyone visiting Cincinnati is welcome to join the Bengal Bomb Squad-West at Longworth Hall behind the railroad tracks in the back of the lot. We always have our original crew from 2001 which include myself, Chris Neace, aka Ace Raison, Greg Ivey aka Quiet Storm, Ray Neace aka Radar, Keith Ivey and Shane Hamblin. Our group is much much bigger now and we are always happy to bring in new faces!
