TicketsCINCINNATI –The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics announced several new, exciting fan experience enhancements to game days at Nippert Stadium for the 2019 football season.
"Our athletics staff has worked extremely hard this offseason to develop a number of new fan-experience elements to enhance the excitement of Bearcats football gamedays," Director of Athletics Mike Bohn said. "We've added almost 3,000 new season tickets this year, along with great interest from our outstanding student body, and remain committed to providing a customer-centric, world-class experience for all of our fans at Nippert Stadium."
Among the enhancements being implemented are:
THE SHOE TAILGATE
Following the overwhelming success of the newly renovated Fifth Third Arena, the Bearcats will open the best on-campus basketball facility in the country four hours before kickoff to serve as an additional tailgating destination for fans. The popular Armory Bar will be fully operational with domestic and craft beers on tap and mixed drinks served by licensed bartenders. Concessions will be available, and both the menu and drink offerings will be catered to the kickoff time. The Shoe Tailgate will be contained to the north and west portions of the facility, and it will close 30 minutes prior to kickoff. Admission is free and game tickets are NOT required to enjoy the tailgate as the arena is not located within the perimeter of the stadium.
On college football Saturdays, the massive Jeff Wyler Vision videoboard with its 3.9 million LEDs will be dropped down from the ceiling as games from around the country will be played on televisions throughout the arena. In addition to the Armory Bar, there will be fun family activities such as pop-a-shot and corn hole on the concourses.
Prior to the season opener against UCLA on Thursday, August 29, 700 WLW will host the "Eddie and Rocky Show" from 3-6 p.m. ET live from the Armory Bar at Fifth Third Arena. In the week leading up to kickoff, iHeart Media will hold several UCLA ticket giveaways on their airways, including both ESPN 1530 and 700 WLW. On gameday, there will be additional ticket giveaways for games later in the season. Fans will have the opportunity to win various Under Armour prizes throughout the show. Planned appearances at The Shoe Tailgate include ESPN commentator Pat McAfee, UC men's basketball head coach John Brannen and Director of Athletics Mike Bohn. Coach Brannen will be available from 5-6 p.m. to meet and greet fans, take pictures and sign autographs.
"The unique layout of Varsity Village represents one of the special hallmarks of Bearcats athletics," Chief Revenue Officer Brandon Sosna said. "Our challenge is to continually identify creative pregame opportunities to make our campus an all-day destination on game days, specifically in the absence of traditional tailgating options. The Armory Bar was one of the most well received components of the Fifth Third Arena renovation and given the proximity of the arena to Nippert Stadium, we are thrilled to build this exciting and innovative pregame activity for our fans, especially for cooler-weather games."
THE TRULY ROOFTOP
Located at the Wyler Terrace, a new social space has been created on the rooftop patio deck on the fourth floor of the Nippert West Pavilion. Sponsored by the Boston Beer Company – the parent company of recognizable brands such as Truly Spiked & Sparkling, Samuel Adams, Angry Orchard and Twisted Tea – the Truly Rooftop is the best pure entertainment destination in Nippert Stadium.
The Truly Rooftop, which includes both the outdoor rooftop patio space and an interior lounge, features comfortable furniture, high-top tables, and multiple televisions. The outdoor patio includes lounge furniture, high-top tables overlooking the field, and heaters for cold weather games, as well as various fun entertainment activities. Fans will enjoy direct access to the area via elevators in the south lobby of the Nippert West Pavilion.
The $76 ticket, an ode to Boston Beer's Sam '76, includes a premium all-you-care-to-eat buffet and two drink tickets. The Boston Beer Company will provide an assortment of beverage options, which will be highlighted by their Truly Hard Seltzer and Sam Adams Boston Lager, '76, and Octoberfest. The food menu will rotate game-to-game, but the buffet will feature items such as beef brisket sliders, Cincinnati chili dip, Italian sausage, and freshly-baked desserts. Soda and bottled water are included at no extra cost.
"The social experience is as important to the modern fan as any gameday amenity," Sosna said. "The Truly Rooftop will be an outstanding social atmosphere suitable for both individuals and large-group outings. At $76 per ticket, with an all-inclusive buffet and two drink tickets, this is a premium experience that is affordable for all fans. The sightlines and expansive stadium views are incredible. We expect the Truly Rooftop to be extremely popular, and we're thankful to our partners at Boston Beer and Bearcats Sports Properties for bringing our shared vision to life."
You must be 21 or older to purchase. Your game ticket will serve as your drink tickets.

THE COORS LIGHT CHILL ZONE
Located just off Main Street on the plaza above the west side concessions stands, the new Coors Light Chill Zone will be the most vibrant social gathering space in Nippert Stadium.
Sponsored by Coors Light, the Chill Zone will feature multiple bars, various high-top and regular tables, and a perfect view of the Lindner Family Vision videoboard. The bars will serve both domestic beers and mixed beverages. The Coors Light Chill Zone is open to all fans in the stadium.
