The Cincinnati Bengals arrived to an overflow crowd at West Carrollton High School this afternoon for their only practice of the season away from Paul Brown Stadium.

Fans began lining the fences surrounding Dayton Outpatient Center Stadium more than hour before the gates opened at 2:30 p.m. for the 3:50 practice.

The Bengals drew 7,000 fans to West Carrollton two years ago on a stormy Monday, and that number looks like it will be topped today with the combination of temperatures in the 70s and fewer work conflicts on a Sunday.

The capacity is 5,000 in the bleachers, but there many more fans ringing the fences.

After practice ends at 5:20, there will be a 15-minute autograph session.
