A century before the Bearcats perfected college football under the stars, we pioneered it.
Celebrating 100 years of Nippert At Night.
✨🏟️✨
On September 29,1923, Cincinnati set out to play the first intercollegiate night game in the Midwest, fourteen years after it began practicing under the stars. They felt their system was reliable enough, and the team was used to the concept, though outsiders remained skeptical. The Cincinnati Post sent a photographer to Carson Field the night before the game to stage photographs of the team "without the aid of a flashlight" just to prove the whole thing was real, and it was. Cincinnati invited Kentucky Wesleyan to be its opponent and offered them the field one night to get themselves acclimated to the lights, then they grabbed a white football and put their idea to the test.
