This is Our House
Cincinnati's football renaissance began in 2006. Ninety wins, nine bowl games and five conference championships later the Bearcats are scratching and clawing for more. A year ago, UC set 18 school records and finished among the nation's top-5 offenses. The Bearcats also set high-water marks for home attendance with a quarter-million fans coming through the turnstiles of recently renovated Nippert Stadium. UC's home field since the mid-1900s, Nippert Stadium enters its second century of existence.
Its classic wrought-iron gates and brickwork are a nod to a historic past while the 130,000 square-foot West Pavilion premium seating showcases the future with UC holding a 20-3 mark on the home turf since 2011. Starting with our heartbeat in the student section, the RUCKUS, spreading to the Bearcats Lair, young alumni in section 116 and all the way to the patrons in the West Pavilion, you create one energetic voice on gameday in passionate support of your Bearcats.
We invite you to participate in the best home field advantage in college football. Join us for the pageantry, join us for the fun and join us for the football. There are seven opportunities in 2016 against great competition to pack historic Nippert Stadium and show the nation the best fans live right here. We will fight to the finish and never give in.
