I also don't think just because a stadium holds 80,000 - 100,000 people that makes it a great stadium. It just makes it a huge stadium.

Prior to the renovations and expansion being done Nippert certainly had some issues too - especially when the place is full. But those issues are being taken care of and the new Nippert will be even better.

Nippert has a lot going for it - in the heart of the campus, seats close to the action, no bad sight lines.

And it looks great. Very cool looking stadium. Comes accross great on TV.

How about renovating your football team, have you even beat us this century?? We need to drop your pathetic little team from our schedule.

It's obvious this person hasn't been to Clifton lately, it's amazing what's being done there.

It's a great venue and, being smack dab in the middle of campus, be sure to take a tour - great architecture for being an urban campus. A lot nicer than when I attended (mid-70s).

eh not really walking distance as some would require a 30-60 minute stroll at best . Most are a 5-10 minute drive from campus . You can pretty much get all those beers at The Brass Tap right across the street from campus though

Hmmmm... Pretty cool stuff Bearcats, well done. I just may have to get myself up to Cinci for a game!
