    Xavier !
    Mesy D.

    First time at a Xavier game. My son graduated from Xavier many years ago. Been here for several graduations. The center is nice. The way they handle the game crowd was so smooth. It was a sold out game. There were several every points. We needed help with our on line tickets and they were absolutely wonderful in printing them for us. There are concession on each level, lines were orderly. Plus they had additional local restaurants selling food as well. It was a great experience. And we won!

    Xavier mens basketball game

    I recently went to the Cintas Center to attend a Xavier Mens Basketball game. Unfortunately the only other time I had been there was for a police funeral, so I was glad to return on a more positive note. I myself did not attend X, but a good friend did, so she invited me to go. I was excited to check out some Big East action, as my team, UCONN, will be switching to the Big East next year and playing them! From the moment I walked in I was impressed by the bright and modern feel of the venue. There are your standard food options of pizza, pretzels and beer lining the halls. If youd like something better they offer Skyline, Elis BBQ, and even Quatmann Cafe burgers! Prices are the standard high end for a sporting event. Our seats were a great view, and not uncomfortable. The crowd here is great and very engaged the entire time. The sound system, score board, and sign boards are of high quality. This was some great basketball action and a close game the whole time! We had a parking pass, so I am not sure what it would be like otherwise, but with the pass it was an easy in and out as well as a short walk! Great venue!

    Came her for my niece's high school graduation so I can't speak for this place as a sports venue. What I can say is that it is a very nice facility that seems to be run very well. Parking is plentiful, close-by, and convenient. The crowds here are handled with great organization. For as many people that they can facilitate, it didn't feel uncomfortably crowded. I would definitely not be opposed to returning here in the future for other events.

    This is one of best arenas in college basketball. It's small enough so there is no bad seat, but large 10K seat arena. Cincy is not a nice place, but Xavier is far enough away so it feels like it's own town. The fans are very loud here. Came here for Georgetown vs Xavier game, Georgetown is having rough year this year unfortunately. This certainly is better than other Big East venues I've been to. Also, the pregame here is tremendous with the fire when starting players are introduced.

    I attended my second meeting here this month. This is a great venue for business meetings. There are several conference rooms to choose from and they will configure them anyway you would like. Parking is easy and plentiful during the day (just make sure you have parking passes- or you will get ticketed by XU). Everyone that I encountered from XU/Cintas Center were super helpful and friendly! Can't wait to attend another meeting here. Would definitely look here to host meetings or parties! At our last meeting we were fortunate enough to have a wonderful view of the court right outside the room!

    I visited the Cintas Center for a couple events. I think my favorite was the Michael Pollan lecture. They did a great job of providing free parking at the venue, setting up the seating and stage, and organizing the overall flow of the event. I keep my eye on events here and wouldn't hesitate to go to any that sounded interesting. They do seem to have a wide variety of talks on interesting subjects and good speakers.

    My high school graduation at the Cintas Center

    The Cintas Center is Xavier University's sports and concert arena. It's tucked back off the main roads in Norwood not far from the University's campus. This large cement building is home to their basketball team as well as some other sports. I don't really know anything about their sports. My high school's graduation was held here and it was a nice venue for such an event. They hung a curtain to block off half of the seating and to make it a half round space with a stage in the center. It managed to fit all the families and friends of the 300+ graduates of my class. I've also attended one musical concert here. Bob Dylan played a show here that I managed to get tickets to. Besides the fact that Bob Dylan isn't great at playing shows (the guy has no personality), it was a decent venue. The sound was a little off because of the cement of the structure bouncing things around. It's a nice place to go!

    Currently attending Bizwomen's Mentoring Monday at Cintas Center. It is being held in a lovely conference room adjacent to the actual basketball court. Plentiful parking with a short walk to the building. Conference is roomy for the large crowd of business women and mentors.(200+)

    This place has the potential to be wonderful. I was fortunate enough to visit this arena many years…read moreago when I was being recruited. I came back recently for a game against my Alma Mater and have to say that this place was rocking for a little bit. It's too bad that Wes Miller is incapable of coaching a basketball team because the crowd was booing before we ever got to halftime. I met a kind manager named Stewart or something along those lines. He is a great example of what every team should look for in a manager: fluffy, capable of grabbing balls, and on top of it! The seats weren't that comfy but oh well. This place has the chance to move to 5 stars if they start winning some ball games. I don't see that happening with Wes Miller, but who knows. An arena is only as good as its fans make it. Edit: Upon more recent developments... Another thing that was a bit off putting was when Stewart (the manager) asked if he could "top me off." At first, I thought he was offering me another beer, but his persistence to contact me through my socials -- I'll spare the details -- has lead me to believe he meant something else. Idk kinda weird. Fifth Third was still sweet. Creepy kid though.

They even have a bar area, which is still odd to me as a college arena, but hey, gotta make money. I actually thought the food options weren't as varied as I thought they would be, but then again it was offseason. I wouldn't mind seeing a basketball game here.

    Great day for football…read more... I attended the 2025 NFL Season of the Chicago Bears at Cincinnati Bengals. This only happens about once every 7 or 8 years and I wasn't going to miss it. The day.... Tickets were purchased using an aftermarket ticket app. Bought about 3 hours before kick-off and got a great deal on the seats. Parking. I always find a parking lot in the city. Typically only a couple of blocks walk from the stadium, there is plenty of parking that you can walk to and avoid some of the traffic when you're leaving. I wasn't tailgating at all, so that wasn't an issue. But, walking to the stadium, I did notice some pretty elaborate tailgating parties that looked fun. Stadium. Being a loyal Chicago Bears fan, I sat on the Visitors side in section 339 Row 4 Seat 12. My rule of thumb for sporting events is typically the same, no matter the venue. I like to sit in a mid-level or top tier, close to the 50 yard line (or center of the field) and, if possible, a row closest to the front. What I've found is that this gets you the best panoramic view possible. Stadium seating lets you see over people's heads, so typically there's nothing in your way and you can see all the action. You're not going to catch a ball and you're not going to get an autograph or a jersey from a player on the field. But you'll be able to catch every point of the field and all the action. Amenities. Expensive. Yes. As you will find at every stadium. Long lines during halftime, but if you time things right, you can get in-and-out pretty quick if you're willing to miss a couple of minutes. Plenty of food and beverage choices to choose from. But, they are pricey. Would I go back? Absolutely. The few times that I've been to Paycor Stadium (as it's called today) I've always had a good time. On this particular day, the last 3 minutes of this game was some of the most exciting football of the season. Incredible finish to a game won by the Chicago Bears. Go Bears!

We had wonderful snacks. We had a great view. The stadium was clean. Fans were nice. We had a great time and I will definitely visit again.
