Hello,
I just wanted to share some things with you.
I am from Michigan, and last week my Dad and I traveled down to Cincinnati to watch the Tigers play the Reds. Since both games were night games we had ample time to sight see and one stop on my list was the University. Once we stopped by, we over stayed our planned time frame by a few hours.
We walked around the downtown area near Nippert, and I picked up some Bearcat gear including a football jersey and a few tee's at Dubois Bookstore. We walked around the different sports venue's (Marge Schott Stadium, the arena, and the football practice fields) and I feel in love with how easy going the campus seemed to be. I have always liked UC since I was a little kid due to their color scheme but this took it to a new level. It was a beautiful campus.
While there the football team was practicing on the practice field without coaches obviously due to NCAA rules and I enjoyed watching them. They were very organized for a player ran practice. I was disappointed knowing that Nippert was under construction as I wanted to get closer to it and even down on the field as I had heard that they allowed that. As I wore my new jersey, my Dad and I got several pictures of the field before a worker told me to try the other side as there was less clutter. Over there we were getting pictures when a construction worker came up and offered me the chance to come inside the construction for better photos and allowed me to walk with an escort around the stadium, to areas not under active construction.
I would like to return down there for a game but I'm not sure how realistic that is as I will have to return August 24th for the rained out Tigers/Reds game. I feel like the Correyville area would be electric on a game day.
Every one was so nice that I now consider UC as my second team, and I will try to watch as many of the games as I can get up here. Thank you for letting me join your community.
