That's cool Cincinnati just let's you walk around the stadium whenever. I wish you could do that at every stadium
Nippert is one of the oldest stadiums in college football. It sits in the middle of campus. When I was an Army ROTC cadet there, we did our physical training in the stadium, including an occasional softball game. The stadium used to be a relic on the point of crumbling. It was condemned by the county numerous times. The weight room under the stands had actual stalactites hanging from the ceiling. According to former Head Coach Mike Gottfried, when he showed recruits around, he would stick several keys in the weight room door, rattle them one after another, then apologize that he had the wrong keys. He didn't want them to see the cave. It's had 4 renovations since 1992.
@@marksnyder8022 Wow that's a Old Trafford levels stadium deterioration. New stadiums are cool and everything but there is just something about an old stadium with history
Around the outside of it
Glad you finally got to see Nippert! Great video man.
Good video, but that was pretty bold of you going around Cincinnati wearing a Browns bucket hat.
Lot of us down here;
Few things I’d love to point out for viewers who might not frequent or have ever visited Cincinnati. First about downtown in between the Bengals and Reds stadium and the jumbo uncapped parking lot. That area, now called the Banks, used to have NOTHING there about 10 years ago. Starting from the Reds side, tons of bars, restaurants and apartments have sprung up there since 2015. They’ll eventually finish the whole street and section, but they’ve made a ton of progress just in the last 10 years. Secondly, about Nippert Stadium, the stadium sits in the middle of the University Campus and has 2 dining halls and multiple class rooms in addition to being open as a public park when not hosting events.
Nippert on Gameday cannot be beat. The stadium being right in the middle of campus makes for an absolutely electric atmosphere.
Back before FCC played in their new stadium they played at Nippert and my god it was an insanse experience.
Gameday activities aside, Nippert is one of the oldest and most historic stadiums still in use in today.
He understates Nippert being open to the public. A lot of college stadiums will open their gates to the public, but Nippert is less a building and more built INTO the campus. It's dug below ground and sits in the middle of campus. Students will walk its concourse to get to classes and they'll sit in the stands to eat lunch. It's really like its own campus quad that sometimes hosts football games.
Your content is consistently good & this is one of your best videos
Next time you could include a tour of the old Reds’ Crosley Field replica in Blue Ash??
I was hoping you would include Heritage Bank Center, home of the Cyclones. Technically an arena, I suppose. 'Sports venues of Cincinnati, OH' maybe?
Heritage Bank is literally next door to Great American. Idk why he didn't feature it.
@@TheyCallMeTheMilkman I suspect he's not a hockey fan. He did include Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in his Cleveland video, but made no mention of the Monsters.
I've attended Stinger and Cyclone hockey and Bearcat basketball games at Heritage Bank Center, but most of my visits were when it was operating under the original name of Riverfront Coliseum. I attended many rock concerts in that arena including the famous Who concert in 1979. It's right next to GAB and would have been worth at least a mention in this otherwise excellent video.
We don’t talk about heritage bank center, go cyclones though they deserve a new home
That arena is ass. We don't need to talk about it.
When I was in Grad School at UC in the late '80s-mid '90s, Nippert was a dump at first. They had just completed the Shoemaker Center (basketball arena) around that time and basically to make room for it had to demolish some historic maintenance building that was in the open ended end of Nippert, and demolish a couple other buildings, including the book store. After all that area (and surrounding area) was demolished and the basketball arena completed, they started on a renovation of Nippert itself. At that time, the football team was independent and mostly played other independent schools (at that time,) who were powerhouses that used to stomp them every year, such as Miami (Florida), Penn St., Florida St. and Viginia Tech. Nippert, at that time, barely sat 25,000 fans and they had to schedule some of their home games at Riverfront Stadium when they faced the big schools to accommodate the visiting fans. The football team finally joined a conference in the mid '90s when the Metro and Great Midwest conferences merged to form Conference USA (UC's other sports were in both the Metro and Great Midwest conferences at some point prior to the merge.) Shortly after that the NCAA implemented a rule that in order to remain Division I in football, all stadiums had to be able to accommodate a certain amount of seating. So, Nippert got another renovation to add more seating. Then in the '00s, right before they joined the Big East, they had another renovation to upgrade the football stadium and surrounding facilities to make it more appealing and increase seating again. Then, like you stated in the video, the 2015 renovation was the big renovation to add more seating, via luxury boxes and new press boxes, and to try to entice Power 5 conferences to invite them as an expansion school. Of course, originally The Big 12 said at that time they were going to expand then and invite a handful of schools and after all the hopefuls had poured money into upgrades and renovations, The Big 12 pulled the carpet out from under them. Thankfully, as we all know now, UC, UCF, Houston, along with BYU, finally got their invite to the Big 12 for 2023 season (8 years after pouring money into the upgrades and renovations to the stadium and facilities.)
Also, announced last year, UC is in the process of another upgrade/addition to facilities that will cost $134 million. A brand new indoor practice facility is the bulk of it being 84,000 square feet. Other sports teams at UC will be allowed to use it also when the football team isn't using it. Also a 96,000 square foot performance center is also part of the new additions. This will be a state of the art facility similar to other power conference schools, containing new offices for the football program, athletic training rooms, sports performance weight room, fueling stations for football, nutrition stations for all sports, equipment rooms, mental health services, and a creative suite.
The two Ohio MLS teams have awesome stadiums
The reason the football stadium has its offices at the stadium is because they have the entire facolity in the stadium. Fields weight room offices classrooms everything. Also why it cost more.
Great job!
Hope you can make more videos like this in other cities and states!
If the Aussie guy behind the RUclips channel Wide World of Stadiums ever gets around to doing his own Cincinnati stadium video you've provided a template for him.
That was fun. Thank you!
Bro’s dissin on the bengals stadium when the Browns haven’t even hosted a home playoff game. 😂😂😂😂
The home plate for Crosley Field is in the alley behind the City Gospel Mission
Was at the Reds' stadium in 2021 to watch a game. Met some of the nicest fans.
cleveland is always better no matter browns or guardians
@@michaelstenback1598Guardians?
U.S. Bank Arena home of the Cyclones. I didn't know the Ohio River was that shallow.....
Might be lower at this time of year. The Mississippi is usually higher now months after Northern snow melts
Now Heritage Bank Center. Fun place for a Cyclones game.
The normal depth there is about 26 feet. There are a series of dams that keep the river full of water. In old times the river would get so shallow even the flat bottomed steamboats would run aground. I've seen pictures from the 1800s where the boats are lined up where those cars are, with almost no water in the river at all.
@@marksnyder8022 WOW! Interesting!
I'm sure this wouldn't account for all of the price overage for Paul Brown Stadium, but the fact that it also contains the teams corporate offices, which is pointed out as unusual for NFL teams, must have added a substantial amount to the construction.
Thanks for the videos....
Nice to see the face to connect with the voice and site
Disappointing that you didn't get inside most of the venues.
Oh good! You took off your baseball cap! 😊
Did you cross the Purple People Bridge?
Go bearcats
Go Bearcats.
Jealous of your lifestyle. I never travel 😢
You wore a Browns hat around town and the stadia. Blasphemy
Because of the negative stadium deal for the bengals, I could see them moving to Columbus.
Not really, Ohio State football is king in Columbus.
@@GardcoreLegendyeah cbus is more of a college sports town
Clearly dissing the bengals stadium and facilities because you’re a Browns Stan… next time just say that.
No lol, but at least browns stad has a few trees
Time for you to get out of Ohio and Michigan dude.
The Reds have a fantastic fan base, win or lose, so I've always felt bad for the fans in that they got in my opinion, a rather unattractive ball park. Granted, it's more than a couple orders of magnitude better than Riverfront Stadium, but the color scheme inside just bothers me.
if they knew you were from cleveland they would have banned you. bengals are so cheap they did not have a bubble until last year. they were using the colleges bubble. bengals and reds got free stadiums they said they were cheaply built. the players have to cross the street to work out. the bengals do not have a team complex, because they are so cheap. joe burrow will leave for another team after they do not sign their top players.
Paycor is pretty lackluster and has zero character or any kind of identity with the football team. It's a cool town but kinda the last city I'd like to play in.
The 2 pro stadiums will never be paid off. Nippert is a great place to watch football. Trivia Elder High School was the 1st local team to win at Paul Brown Stadium(paycor). They played Highlands HS and drew so many fans they had to let 1/2 the crowd in for free. More people showed up for a high school game than showed up for the Bungles.............................................................Titties!
