Cincinnati FC worked closely with the Fans Advisory Council to determine ticket prices for their first MLS campaign. In total, four new price sections were created to keep prices as low as possible. . It seems that the extra work has paid off, as you can visit the game for only $15.

The first four price points range from $ 15 to $ 22 per ticket at the same price, and the highest ticket price is $ 45 in Zone 1 in the center of the field. Tickets with a lower price also include the final line and family sections, but in fact from any point in the stadium there is no poor field view.

Concession prices are reasonable for food, but be prepared to shell out $8 to $9 for a can of beer while watching the game, much the same as other MLS and sports venues in the United States and Canada.

How to get there?

Movement goes lively through stadiums and halls, and with most of the open sections it is quite easy to find seating, bathrooms, or places for concessions. The disabled area is located at the top of each aisle in the main hall.

There are various parking places, and for a beginner it is best to follow the walking pattern to the stadium. Ticket offices are located on the south side of the stadium.

One friendly reminder for the first time visitor, remember how to get back to your car in the parking lot. UC campus can be confusing to leave the game at night, and there is no indication that fans are returning to certain areas. However, fans or police are more than enough to ask how to get the parking back.

Where to eat?

On The stadium has many concessions that offer food and drinks. During the match there are several stands with beer, sausages, pizza, cotton candy and other delicacies.

The local MadTree Brewery has one of the longest lines for a lonely stand at Craft and International Beer Garden. The line starts at the beginning of the game and does not end until the alcohol is cut off by the end of the second half. Carlsberg beer is also offered in high banks, and the price per pint or jar is $ 8.

Atmosphere

There is quite a lot of fun with the FCC game in which you need to sit back and enjoy the environment in order to fully appreciate it. The Nippert Stadium effectively turns into a world-class football stadium, where crowds of 33,800 spectators or near them fill every nook and cranny to provide a pleasant cacophony for the match taking place on the pitch below.

Fans gather early in the stadium for home games and plenty of secure parking spaces on different campuses or urban neighborhoods. Next to the stadium is Sheakley lawn, where pre-game events are held, including for children. The fans march to the stadium before each game and encourage others to join as soon as they enter the stadium, the fans clear the hall and go to Bailey.

Orange smoke fills Bailey, the fans-only section, at the moment when players enter the field. , and then they serenade the rest of the fans in the stadium. Bailey sing, sing, cheer and emit more smoke after a goal throughout the game. This is a fierce group that expresses its opinion against anyone who wears a T-shirt of the opposing team, regardless of the league or division.

Most of the main hall is wide open and allows visitors to watch the game from virtually anywhere in the stadium. If you order food online, the TV screens are arranged to show you the match. The hall also gives a great view of campus buildings, both old and new.

The hall also houses a variety of tents, portable stands, and vehicles that provide local Cincinnati food and beverages. Several small tents offer group goods from scarves, caps, T-shirts, kits and jackets. However, all the action takes place on the field and for most FCC fans that is an The main theme of the game is the addition of the final statement to the atmosphere of the game of the day.

Neighborhood

Nippert Stadium is located inside the University of Cincinnati campus near the city of Clifton. The streets turn and turn up and down small hills while shoppers park their cars on one of the lots or parking lots near the stadium.

Several great places are located a few blocks or minutes from the stadium. A few minutes walk from the street Grape, which over the past decade has become a place for breakfast, ghostly tours and entertainment. Clifton Gaslight, which is a residential area of post-Victorian houses and eclectic shops, bars and restaurants, is a few miles away.

Vine Street offers two great places for breakfast and a late breakfast— Hangover Easy and Ladder 19. Alabama Que offers great deals on stewed pork, ribs and turkey. Island Fridays have what many call the best Caribbean food in Cincinnati, and Tastes of Belgium is the official FCC sponsor specializing in pancakes, waffles and fries.

The Gaslight district is the area I used to call home, and is worth a visit at any time of the day. The Habanero Restaurant serves Mexican and American cuisine.Stillwell’s Coffee Shop is a cool little cocktail where you can have a cup or a pint of beer, and Proud Rooster is another great place for breakfast or a late breakfast.Graeter’s Ice Cream and Skyline Chili, two famous urban establishments, are also in the quarter.

Reingest Brewery is located a mile from the stadium near the town of Over-Rhine. The area takes off and approaches; nevertheless, the old warehouse building of 1890 is filled with buyers and has a top floor with cranes, games with holes, tables, and happy buyers.

The fans

Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky fans have responded well to the FCC. Record crowds were an institution from day one, and many of those present were busy playing on the field for the full 90 minutes.

Average attendance improved by almost 50% from the first to the third year, and the club sold out four stadium zones, including the Bailey fans section, who entered the game in unison and created their own soundtrack throughout the match.

Additionally

The Nippert stadium becomes suitable for FCC football matches. There were other temporary venues where visitors were clearly reminded that the football team is here on a short visit, but there are not too many reminders about football in California or university tracks found during matches. For the discerning eye, the FCC is the main tenant in the building.

Cincinnati is home to regional styles and local favorites, which include LaRosa, Big Fritsch’s pizza, Skyline cones, grater ice cream, Queen City sausage, as well as craft beer from Reingiest, Christian Moreline, Mad Tree and Braxton. This is the choice most beneficial for the city of the queen.

Fans support has been huge since day one, which includes record attendance numbers that should continue in the MLS this season and in the following years. If the FCC were in the MLS in 2018, their average crowd would put them in fourth place in the league, second only to Atlanta, Seattle and Toronto.

Bailey is a fan section that represents most of the soundtrack to the stadium, which includes banners, smoke, greetings, songs and a party atmosphere that starts a mile from the stadium. The rest of the stadium adds its own soundtrack with serenadnyh players entering the field.
