Fans already lining up to get in for scrimmage

GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- Went out to grab some lunch, and when I returned shortly after 3 o'clock, at least two dozen cars already were lined up waiting to get into park at Toyota Stadium for the Bengals' intra-squad scrimmage tonight. Gates don't open until 4:30 p.m. A guard at the gate told me the first car was in line at 1 p.m. -- three-and-one-half hours before gates open. People are sleeping in the beds of pickups. Others are out tossing footballs. Still others are sitting in lawn chairs on the grass beside the driveway. The guard told me that Georgetown College officials are expecting 11,000 people for the scrimmage -- which would be the largest crowd in the facility's history.
