    TQL Stadium
    Chris B.

    This is a great venue for sports. The atmosphere is electric. FC Cincinnati home has a fan base that I feel can be one of the best in any major league sports that I have been to. Concessions are plentiful. But be careful, as we purchased a beer at the Heineken concession stand.... I couldn't get the credit card unit to respond. The worker reached over and authorized a 20% tip. She only grabbed one can of beer which didn't warrant any tip. It's not the money... it was what she did. Sorry but my feeling is you're doing your job which was nothing more than grabbing a can out of the frig.

    Had a five back-to-back FCC game streak. Phenomenal stadium! Definitely my favorite stadium(architecturally) in Cincinnati. As far as food goes, I wish they had better/more options!

    I came for the visiting team, but credit where credit is due, this stadium is a nicer-looking facility than ours, open air but with a partial roof that keeps out the elements. The Cincinnati football and baseball stadiums are part of its impressive riverfront, but apparently there was no room for a soccer stadium, so this was thrown in the middle of the city between what looks like two residential areas, where I'm sure people are thrilled to hear fireworks going off for a regular season MLS match. I did not enjoy the noise level, but the home crowd seemed fine with it (actual quote: "Yeah! Fireworks rule!"). The stadium is reasonably walkable from Over The Rhine (and the streetcar). Many people seem to have paid a ton for parking, but if you were early and looked around you could find street parking. While cool-looking, the stadium felt kind of cramped. The seats were tight, and the concourses packed, and social distancing was clearly not in the cards. Strangely, it was impossible to get into the men's restrooms during crowded times. The crowd was announced as a sellout, and while there were definitely empty seats, it was rather encouraging to see so many people there. Most of them wearing an aesthetically bizarre combination of bright orange and powder blue (I think maybe they're trying to reference the Cincinnati Bengals and University of Kentucky to get the two biggest local sports fan bases on board?). The actual soccer was pretty atrocious, but the atmosphere suggested some promise for the future of professional soccer in Cincinnati. I rather wished I'd bought my ticket earlier than I did (only a day or two in advance) as prices went up with demand. We'll see what happens when that new team smell wears off, but as of now it seemed like the entire area was buzzing on gameday.

    The architecture of this stadium is super cool. The builders did an amazing job. We first attended The Who concert here but plan on returning for soccer games and much more. Everything easily assessable and structures sound:)

    Very nice stadium and still has that new fresh feeling. Don't learn the hard way: Clear small bags allowed only! There's a third-party storage locker rental truck outside in case you need to leave something while you enjoy the game. Typical stadium foods like burgers and dogs, beers and sodas, all at typical sporting event prices. Navigating the stadium is easy and the overall experience is fun, especially when FC Cincy wins!

    Very cool new stadium for soccer matches and I'm sure many other events. But for what they spent and crowds they expect, not enough room for vendors and service is super slow. I realize it's hard to get good help these days, and the folks working were super friendly and working super hard, but just need more of them! And... in what reality are the men's rooms lines longer than ladies?? Poor planning. Not enough "facilities" for such a great new stadium. Like anything new, betting it just takes some time to get their feet under them, kinda like the FC team!!

    I never take the time and to buy concert or sporting event tickets when they go on sale. I'm always late to the game. But this week was going to be different. I really wanted to watch USA Soccer play New Zealand at TQL Stadium In September. I logged onto the TQL Stadium website and it had a link for tickets which stated On Sale on June 28 at 10am. So I patiently waited for 10 am and and logged onto the site and clicked the Buy Tickets Link on the site. Not many seats popped up and I ended up buying 4 tickets for $150/each. The order was confirmed at 10:02. I was excited because I thought there was a high demand for the game. Come to find out, the link I clicked took me to a 3rd Party Site. I ended up buying resale tickets. The link should have connected me to Ticketmaster. Why advertise to Click Here but not link it to Ticketmaster? It was updated later in the day but that morning it kept directing me to the 3rd Party Site. I have attached a pic of the site. The Webmaster should have updated the site on time. Lost $400 in this deal!

    What an amazing place! Fc Cincinnati has the most AMAZING FANS Ever! So much fun! The fans at the end of the goal put on quite a show with the drums and chanting and singing and blue and orange color bombs for lack of a better word or description. Lol if you are ever in town you have GOT TO GO TO AN FC CINCINNATI SOCCER GAME!

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.

    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.

    This is where I currently attend for my undergraduate and masters degrees. I am in my final year…read more There are a variety of reasons I decided to rate the university the way I did. On a positive note, the university of Cincinnati has a campus that is stunning with a variety of architectures from classical to modern and everything in between but somehow it works well. The campus feels like a small city since the population on west (main) campus is so large on about a square mile campus. Around campus is burnet woods which is a medium sized park and on the other side of burnet woods is downtown Clifton which has a graeters, movie theater, stores, boutiques and bars. All within walking distance. On the other side of campus are two parks within walking distance Fairview and Bellevue park. All of these parks are something that allow for students to get off campus and relax. Besides the parks Calhoun street and short vine both have bars, stores, restaurants, music venues and more and are right across the street from campus. The surrounding area has a ton of amenities. Regarding the academics of the school. I am provided with three different advisors for academic undergraduate, co-op and academic graduate. My undergrad advisor changes frequently which means they never know everything they need to know. Thankfully I always have been able to find someone who knows an answer to my question. I have had some bad experiences where an advisor was forceful and rude that I couldn't do something when I knew that I could and did end up doing the thing they told me I couldn't. Making sure to read the handbook for your program can be helpful in this way. Overall, most of my advisors have been excellent besides that hiccup. Research is something that is emphasized at the school and is heavily funded. This allows for a lot of opportunities in a variety of research labs. Co-op is something that is required of a lot of students and is something that UC is know for. This allows students to get off campus work experiences that look really good on resumes but also provide students with skills they need to perform well in industry or wherever they plan to go after school. The most negative thing about the school is safety. Although it is a lot better than it has been in the past (from what I have heard) there is always some sort of safety concern. Luckily UC has its own police department and is quick to respond to all of the help poles around campus but in the surrounding area there are places that should be avoided at night. I have heard of people being stood up. For safety and my advisor situation I took off a star. Besides those experiences I have loved the university and all the experiences it has to offer. It is located right near downtown Cincinnati and has shuttles that can take you downtown. It also always has something going on whether that be sports games, festivals, or other student led activities. Something is always going on.
