    A bit of Cincinnati history. Home of the University of Cincinnati football team. It Has been the home of the Bearcats since 1901. Situated in the middle of UC's dense urban campus it provides a 'walk through' for many students going to classes around campus. Great game day atmosphere!

    This is a great stadium. It is easy to get to from parking areas. Parking is plenty and not more than $10. The walk from parking garage to stadium is not more than 1/2 mile like Cardinal Stadium in Louisville. It is also on the bus route! My only complaint is that the seats are so very narrow. It is as if they jammed an additional 20% seat into each row. I don't even complain about airplane seats! So get used to being very comfortable with your neighbors at the games.

    Nippert Stadium brings back so many memories for me. To me, Nippert stadium is everything that is great about college football. It's not the biggest or the grandest stadium I've been in, but there's something about this place that is just magical. There's truly not a bad seat in the house, but I'll always choose to be on a lower level, closer to the action if I can. During a UC game, there's plenty of drink vendors surrounding the stadium, as well as the built-in concessions. The restrooms are generally well-kept (but there's high traffic during games, so I'm sure it can get crazy). I haven't had the privilege yet of visiting any of the new facilities in the new box seating areas. For me, it's possible that my positive feelings are fueled by my positive memories. Regardless, I always look forward to coming here and long for excuses to relive my college days.

    I've gone to Nippert for UC vs UConn football games and never been super impressed. Now having gone after the remodel, I'm not sure what they much did. Improve the premium seating? Not a fan of the bleacher style seating. Most seats at least have decent views. What really makes the place is the atmosphere of the FC Cincinnati games, now that they are playing there. The Bailey is the best place to "sit" and since you're standing the whole time, the bleacher benches don't much matter. Checkout the Madtree tent for some great craft beer!

    Historic Nippert Stadium has an atmosphere unlike any college football stadium, especially when night falls in Cincinnati. The band charging down the stadium steps through the student section is a tradition unlike any other and really gets the fans started up. Because the stadium is nestled in the heart of campus and is built down in the ground, Nippert Stadium provides for a very loud and challenging environment for opposing teams. Be afraid.

    This review is based on a visit to the newly renovated Nippert Stadium and Suites. This stadium is really something wonderful! I have to say the view is pretty good from anywhere in this stadium and the view from the suites is amazing. The sound system is great, even sitting in the suite we could hear the announcers with no problem and the calls were all clear - so we could actually understand what they were saying :-) The suites offer inside and outside sitting, food and beverage service, private restrooms, and a dessert cart that comes around courtesy of The Bon Bonnerie (whaaaaat!!!) This is a great place to catch some Football, Go Bearcats!

    Nippert Stadium is truly something special. It's historic and different from any other college stadium. Going to a game here is exciting and fun, every view is a great view. The best part tho is being so close with everyone sitting around you and even on the field. Even when games aren't going on, sitting in the stadium reading a book on a nice day or watching drunk people play Frisbee on the field it in the middle of the night is always good and entertaining.

    I've been to a few games here and have enjoyed them all. The view is good from pretty much everywhere. One of the only negatives is that, at least this last time I was there, the bathroom was inexplicably about a million degrees. Open a vent or something. Anyways, there are certain sections of the stadium that are more appropriate than others depending on your sports enthusiasm. The student section, of course, is the most wild and if you can't stand up for most of the game, you might not want to get tickets there. The UC side is mostly comprised of UC alumni and the UC marching band. As many of the alumni are a little older, you might find this section much tamer and more people sit than stand. There are of course exceptions. This past time I was on the opposing team side (there the press box is), and it was a mixture of everything from recent alumni to families. I stood most of the time but there wasn't really anyone behind me. *Check and see if there is a theme for the game (Black, Red, or White Out). It is often listed on the ticket, but is probably on the UC website or facebook page. It's kinda cool to see the whole stadium wearing the same color. *I recommend tailgating beforehand in the Sigma Sigma Commons. There is usually a ton of people drinking, hanging out, and reliving their college "glory days". *I have no idea about rules for what you can and can't bring in to the stadium. I do know that there is no glass bottles, so if you sneak any of that stuff in, make sure its plastic. * I also have no idea as to concession stand costs, but assume they are par for the course with most college stadiums. *As far as parking goes, I always park a little far away on the streets and this helps keep me out of the nasty post game traffic. *This stadium is always open except when it is used for practices. That means you can go on the field and just play (lots of people throw frisbee/footballs), run, or watch the practice. How cool is that? No go run some stairs!!

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.

    Went here for two years getting my Associates of Business in Culinary Arts, I loved the program and…read morethe kitchens are top notch and even better than a lot of the restaurant's here in Cincinnati. : In terms of the credit hour rate it is one of the lowest for Culinary Schools, I had friends attend the Culinary Institute of America and after two years they had spent over 100,000 just for tutiton, room and board and fees. After two years at MCI I spent around 8 thousand dollars and trained under Certified Master Chefs. :Since this is a community college, there is no school pride which is sad to see, a lot of students when asked about our basketball team didn't even know where the gym was. : Things to check out if you go there currently for lunch I suggest Bakery Hill on the 2nd floor of ATLC, everything is made there fresh everyday and the counter people are pastry students that really care about you, compared to the Overlook where the food is bland and way overpriced and greasy and the workers don't want to help you. : Also check out the Summit, it is an acting restaurant run by Chef Sean Kagy and his all student work staff in the kitchen and Donna and her all student wait staff. I would suggest going on Friday nights as they have had three courses plus wine pairings for around thirty dollars a person.

I called the bookstore on Monday to find out about the how and where on the parking situation. I was very happy to hear the parking garage is free! The garage is on #centralparkway at the intersection with #ludlowavenue. The employee on the phone was very helpful. I was told to park in the garage & go to level 5 for access to the walkway to the main building. Garage signs directed me to the stairs and elevators at the back of the structure. Upon exiting I crossed a campus roadway to enter the building. The building is attractive. It has high glass windows that let in a lot of good light. Upon entering there were stairs taking me up to the main level. It was here I encountered a friendly staff person. She gave me good additional directions and walked with me part of the way. The #bookstore signs lead me to the cafeteria and the #bookstore just beyond it. The cafeteria has plenty of seating with a wall of windows allowing for a pleasant view and plenty of outdoor light. Several students were using the area as place to study and read. Up ahead I entered the surprisingly small #folletbookstore. Basic school supplies are on the left across from the customer counter. There was one employee present who provided me with friendly service plus the short explanation of how the #bookstore was relocated when the #welcomecenter was remodeled. The #welcomecenter is the first thing you encounter when entering from the parking garage. This is a modern and welcoming campus. From what I have read it offers many fun & degree related courses at a reasonable price for the community. Until next time be kind to each other. #folletbookstore #cincinnatistatecollege @yelpcincy #education #clifton #parkinggarage

    On Saturday, May 13, 2006, the University of Cincinnati celebrated the completion of its three-year…read more"extensive renovation and upgrade of all UC's athletics facilities," known as the Richard E. Lindner Varsity Village. The state-of-the-art facilities are very important to the future of Bearcat student-athletes, and the eight-story Lindner Center between Nippert Stadium and Fifth Third Arena even includes an academic center and study facilities. Now as big of a Bearcat fan that I am, I don't go to UC. My school has a larger athletic budget, but the facilities aren't nearly as new or nice, so anytime I step onto the UC campus and more importantly in the Varsity Village, I'm very pleased with what UC has done. The places I'm most likely to frequent are Fifth Third Arena, which added a new scoreboard and expanded strength-training equipment, and Nippert Stadium, which installed new turf, upgraded 8,000 seats, and created permanent seating in the north end zone and game-day locker rooms. While all that is great for the two biggest programs at UC, they've made tremendous updates elsewhere, including brand new venues. The swimming and tennis programs both had to travel off campus to practice, but each now has its own on-campus facility, which also allows for home meets and matches to be held. Ben & Dee Gettler Stadium is the completely renovated soccer and track complex, which seats 1,400 and has a press box too. In 2004, the baseball program got a boost with the new Marge Schott Stadium, while even the band has its own facility as well. There is even a five-story trophy case/hall of fame in the Lindner Center, the "hub" of Bearcat athletics, which also has offices, locker rooms, meeting spaces, and administrative services and support areas. I had the opportunity of touring some of these facilities as a senior in high school and they are each very nice. The $105 million project shows UC's commitment to its athletics (but also academics with the Lindner Center), and it has already paid off with the recent successes of many of its teams including, baseball, football, and men's soccer. Now I know that I didn't cover everything, but in general the facilities are great. They have already made an impact on recent student-athletes and will continue to do so and draw the best athletes to Cincinnati where they will strengthen the image of UC athletics and the University of Cincinnati in general.

All the staff was really nice and they have headphones you can use in the machine which is fun. Some places don't. The folks at reception also did a great last minute job of tracking down some blood work that was supposed to have been faxed to them. No complaints from me, and it's located close to UC Hospital if that's where you're headed.
