The Gardens?
The enquier is reporting that mike bohn and his staff toured the gardens as a temporary replacement for 5/3. Thoughts?

LMAO! If serious, our athletic department is more clueless than I thought...

Looks like they are planning on renovating 53rd next year. That would be great

Absolutely. I'd like UC to play in any arena that doesn't smell like urine!
Option 1: US Bank Arena -Market the HELL out of playing a season downtown, run events to lure people to come to the games. If Cincinnati is as good of a basketball town as people claim, the attendance SHOULD be respectable especially during conference season Option 2: Cintas Center -Best arena available in Cincinnati but scheduling trouble with Xavier games taking the precedence, particularly in the conference season. Option 3: Cintas Center/ US Bank Arena -Play non-conference home games at Cintas center and move to US Bank Arena during the conference season. Option 4: Bank of Kentucky Center -Nice arena, not too far for the southern fans...does make it more difficult for the Warren and Butler county UC fans Now bow before your powerful, yet gracious leader peasant!! |

Cintas is a no go. Would Duke play at UNC just because it is convenient and the best arena option around? No. And UC would not be at home there and would not be able to have any say in concessions, etc. Cintas is not an option. Neither is Northern Kentucky. Too far away for students and most of the fan base. |

-But marketing the hell out of downtown is easier said than done. We thought for football it could work (and when it was warm and we were winning it did work, we got over 40k for the Miami game) but after a few loses and when it got cold the downtown lost its appeal. Now I get running events but that also itsnt that appealing on a wednsday night in January --Cintas center- no chance mick will ever share a stadium with those people nor should we. We will never call Cintas our home not even for a year. I think mick would rather call cinci states gym(if they even have one) home before Cintas ---And NKU....come on we all know the best home court advantage comes from the student sections... The players really feed off the students energy. and from Clifton to NKU is 15-20 minutes WITHOUT traffic (according to mapquest) and no way a couple thousand students travel 20 minutes there 20 back on school nights. ----Also we don't want to share with other programs we are Cincinnati and I want just Cincinnati as the home team ---itll be the gardens or the us bank (and im pretty confident they will take us bank) and look the fan base is on the rise...and we got a great team with a chance to make a great run im expecting around a 11k average (maybe even more if this team lives up to its potential) for home games this year. Then add the excitement of a deep tournament run and a brand new stadium for the following year and I think there will be enough interest to make US bank a solid one year home as I think Mick will have the fan base back in full force Last edited by Bearcat Rob; 06-16-2015 at 05:28 PM. |
