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!!

US Banks and BoK would be my choices. Cintas is a stupid idea. UC shouldn't consider playing there. Gardens would be 3rd preference. And no, it doesn't smell like urine.

This is good for present recruiting.

Did you just say 20 minutes is too long to travel? Seriously? Provide plenty of buses and they will go, or if they don't then UC doesn't deserve a big time basketball program anymore.

We are talking 1 year. I'd agree if longterm... Need games on campus.

The Gardens would be closer for me, but I wouldn't go there or to Cintas. US Bank Arena would have to be the choice. By the way, why wouldn't UC make tickets available for $1 to kids under 12 accompanied by an adult--something like that?

Not sure how accurate this is but this rendering of 5/3rd is floating around on twitter.

US Bank would be my 1st choice but I also thought of Bank of Kentucky and actually thought that'd benefit both programs. I'm hoping against Cinti Gardens but I'm sure this will be driven largely by economics.

I agree with you Jeff. It's a newer, state of the art arena, and it would most likely provide a nice little boost for NKU's bball attendance. This would be ideal, but I'm not sure how fans would respond to driving to Kentucky for games. Max capacity there is what, 10,000ish?

Cintas is the last option. I'd rather see them play at the Madisonville Rec Center. My preferences:

US Bank Arena (With the Banks in walking distance)
Bank of Kentucky Center
Cincy Gardens
A local high school
Armory Fieldhouse
Madisonville Rec Center, or a local YMCA

Cintas
