Ive watched college football in 10 BIg 5 conference stadiums. SEC, B1G, PAC12, Big East. Nippert is a jewel amongst them all. It doesnt have monumental seating numbers but it doesnt need them. Pack it full of students and alumni & this stadium rocks! Add to that the fact that, in Cincinnati, beer is sold at college events...at least college basketball and football. BTW...Cincinnatians know how to drink their beer and there is never a problem with drunk Cincinnatians. There is, quite often, problems with out-of-town visitors who arent used to drinking at games. So dont condemn our college beer drinking. When youre used to it you dont abuse it.

Im a B1G guy, and am accustomed to oversize, centrally-located on-campus venues. Nippert is the most centrally located stadium at any University. Its like they put a stadium in and built a school around it. It also feels like being in Whoville - not a spec of unused space. And, being a bowl, its also unassuming, so much of the exterior is only two stories above street grade. Nippert reveals itself pretty suddenly - like Michigan Stadium. Adding capacity will require vertical expansion, and the confined existing space will make it expensive. The facility itself, is really to-drawer, though. Very cool.

There isnt a bad seat in the house. Nestled in the middle of UCs campus, Nippert Stadium is one of the oldest stadiums in the country and College Football has been played at this spot for well over a hundred years. Whether its a Blackout game, White Out game or the Ring of Red, seeing the Bearcats in this stadium is awesome. Cheaper tickets than the Bengals, easier parking and cold beer. For your top of the line sports entertainment dollar, this is the best deal in town.

Its one of those places you just have to visit to understand. Its right in the middle of campus, with the baseball and practice fields right outside. The seating in nippert puts you right on the field. The worst seat here is better than the best seat at PBS. When its packed out the crowd really makes a noise even though capacity is small. The field is the oldest site in college football, and the stadium is something like 4th oldest. It has tons of character.

Worst stadium in ncaa.40000 capacity but has no drinking water fountains for fans in 90 deg heat. They are sure to provide ATM machines for $9 12oz leiny? More than a reds game! The improvements made were for the rich in box seats but the rest of us still have to settle for long lines at portolets? Thank goodness UC academics is still subsidizing the sports program that fails fans.

Not a very big stadium, but its really nice. Not a fan of how most of the seats are bleacher-style, so it gets hard to sit for an entire game without a back rest. I was there for an FC Cincinnati soccer game, so I cant comment on how it is for football games or other events.

Season ticket holder since 2009 checking in. Nippert is a great place to watch a football (or now futbol) game. Since the expansion, they have remedied the issues with the restrooms and concessions. Prices to events are very affordable.

FC Cincinnati needs to stay at Nippert. A great atmosphere and a great location. Moving somewhere else to satisfy the MLS would be a mistake. They have the attendance numbers to tell the MLS they are staying where they are.

Ryan Riddell

Nice stadium for my first FC Cincinnati game. The only issue is that its in the middle of campus so you have to park a ways away. Other than that its nice that they have craft beer stands and the stadium itself is nice.

Alexander Vinolus

One of the best stadiums in college football. Called the "little death valley". Great atmosphere and almost always a sellout game. Absolutely love going to games. Wish it was a little biggerer, in the 60,000 size range.

Austin Prather

One of the best places to watch a college football game in the nation. No matter the seat it feels like youre on the field. Plus now having FC Cincinnati there is amazing. Truly a great place to watch any sporting event.

Ive been attending the FC Cincinnati games this year and this stadium has been awesome for it. Parking is always awful, but the actual stadium gives a sort of intimate feel and i havent encountered any bad seats.

Justin Nagy

Stadium remodel makes this stadium have a modern feel too it. Restrooms/concessions are conveniently located. The stadium itself is located in the middle of UC campus so close parking can be difficult to find.

Ali Margello

Great location supporting FC Cincinnati soccer and UC football. Concessions are very typical, nothing gourmet. Good beer selections. No backs on any seating. I recommend bringing stadium seats for bleachers.

Michelle Masztak

We had a blast watching FC Cincinnati! The seats were great and from the looks of it there doesnt seem to be a bad seat in the house. I didnt purchase any food so I cant say if they are overpriced or not.

Eric Sherwood

Parking was a nightmare, but the stadium is laid out well. Concession prices were OK, but beer markup was what I expected at a professional stadium, not a smallish university.

Great little stadium where the action is always close. Parking is a bit pricy, however. Went for an FC Cincinnati game, and parking was as much as my ticket to the game.

Matthew Brubaker

No better atmosphere to watch a football game, Nippert is built into the center of campus and down into the earth for a true one of a kind experience. Go Cats!

Dimitrije Fisic

I really like this stadium. I come here to watch some FC Cincinnati Games. It is not very clean, but what should I expect. Its and outdoor sports stadium.

Nicholas Stone

BEST stadium in college football! Love this place. Such a unique atmosphere. Great for college football as well as high school. One of a kind!!!

Angela Nelson

Beautiful open spaces for sporting events. Easy access via public transportation and alot of moderately priced resteraunts for diversified tastes.

Rachel Boyd

It is a very nice stadium. I cheer their for the deer park lil cats. Im going to cheer their Saturday August 4th. This is going to be my 2nd year

Andrew Schaffer

One of the best college sports stadium around that draws in the largest of crowds. The atmosphere is amazing and really adds to the excitement.

Andrew Hitchcock

I love coming to see the Bearcats play. Graduated from the University and still come back to help out with the band due to the atmosphere!

Evan Schwartz

One of the coolest and oldest stadiums in America. Definitely a unique facility that is home to both the UC Bearcats and FC Cincinnati
