Newport prepares for historic Game Day on the Levee

NEWPORT, Ky. (WKRC) - Local event spaces, bars, and restaurants are gearing up for another busy Saturday as the Bengals take on the Titans in the AFC Divisional Playoff game.

Newport On The Levee has been hosting Game Day on the Levee parties all season long. There are three spaces people can go to have fun and watch the game; the central plaza, the Gallery building, and the winterized tent areas.

Game Day on the Levee is a football season tradition. The Levee general manager, Gabriella Burch, was at the party for the Bengals' first playoff game, and says it was a day to remember.

“People were going crazy because our LEDs were so big. Whether you were inside or outside, it was electric everywhere, so it was so cool," said Burch. "31 years is a long time. You could tell everyone in the Cincinnati area they're waiting for it.”

If you’re planning to go out and watch the game amongst Who Dey nation, Burch has one tip:

“Get here early, so you get your first dibs on pizza and all that fun stuff and make sure to grab your seat. We will have some additional seating, some fun bean bag chairs and stuff like that, but we're expecting it to fill up fast.”

Saturday’s festivities at the levee begin at 2 p.m., but watch parties are happening all over the area.
