According to a recent study from sports-betting blog Betway, Cincinnati knows how to throw a tailgate party.
The Queen City is ranked No. 2 for throwing the best NFL tailgating parties for the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium, with 166,053 total social media posts about tailgating. Cincinnati also has 21.1% positive sentiment data.
Cincy’s tailgating fun comes in second place behind fans tailgating at Highmark Stadium in New York for the Buffalo Bills.
According to its website, Betway collected the data by finding the total number of social media posts regarding tailgating for each team. The positive sentiment data was collected using Linkfluence, which tracks data mentions. The data reflects various factors for each team’s NFL parties such as how long they lasted as well as local costs for parking tickets, charcoal, burgers, hot dogs, buns, soft drinks and alcohol.
