Twin Spires Glow Orange in Honor of Bengals

Coady

The home of the Kentucky Derby will illuminate its iconic Twin Spires with an orange glow through Sunday night's game in honor of the underdog Cincinnati Bengals, its regional neighbors 92 miles to the northeast and a favorite NFL team for many people in the Louisville area. Sunday's Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams marks the Bengals' first championship appearance since 1989 and only the third in the franchise's history. They seek their first win. The Twin Spires have been the signature symbol of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby since their completion in 1895.

Both the Super Bowl and Kentucky Derby air on NBC.
