no way am I wearing a T-shirt of the opposing teams color.

I agree. You can not wear the colors of the opposing team to a home football game.

Interesting. But are the fans still cheering for the Lions? To the extent that they have been, anyway.

I would think so, but on the CBS pre-game show today, it was reported that the plan is to "wear Bengal orange, and cheer for the opposing team". I hope this is wrong.

so what happened with this? did 'fans' actually do this or not?

[phillydilly]

i was at the game and there was a lot of orange
probably 40% orange, 60% blue in ford field
at the bars around the stadium it seemed 99% orange

the stadium become more orange as the day went on, as lions fans in blue left the game because the lions suck.

I was surprised at the number of cincy fans who made the trip, there were a ton.

[TheNoodleMan]

Yeah, but did you wear orange?

I'd echo this. I would have thought the orange ratio would have been higher, but oh well. I'm sure that it was embarrassing enough for Millen and the Fords, especially with the mini-march before the game. And I did wear an Orange Tiger t-shirt and hat.

There was an interesting dynamic when Lions fans rooted for the Bengals (out of anger at Millen) and Bengals fans then rooted for the Lions (out of pity, this is something they remember well...)
