NIT Round 2- Bradley at Cincinnati

[egib52]

Are we afraid to bring it up? InState and Bradley are just one win each away from a Quarterfinal NIT MVC battle! Teams must take it a game at a time, but fans can fan however they like

I'd rather focus on booting all of the former MVC members out of this tournament rather than a possible matchup with a current one. I have never been to Hinkle though, and would love for my first trip to be while supporting the Braves.

With a Braves win Saturday I’ll be rooting for Minnesota on Sunday. Would mean another home game for us next week

Yes was pulling for San Francisco, almost pulled it off. Hope to get a large group of fans making it to Cincinnati. Have seen them play a few times this year. They are good, but I believe Bradley can win. Will make the drive there to cheer on the Braves. " Go Braves"!!!!!of

Here is the website that appears to have tickets available for the Bradley-Cincinnati NIT 2nd round game Saturday, March 23 - https://gobearcats.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventList?groupCode=NIT&linkID=ucinn&shopperC ontext=&caller=&appCode=

Maybe they are only selling end-zone tickets. No tickets are available on the sides of the court.
Their attendance for the game Wednesday was only 3,799, which is less that 1/3 of capacity.

Maybe they are reserving the better seats for the season ticket holders?

Hi, Bearcat fan here. I'm not here to talk about the game, just let anyone coming down to know that, while the arena seats 12,012, the upper deck was (and will be) curtained off. UC is selling only lower bowl tickets. It seats about 4,000.

Also, there are parking lots on campus, with game day pricing of $10 to $15. UC's ticketing service presells them. No cash is accepted anywhere on campus. You probably can pay with a card at the gate, but I recommend getting it beforehand.

There are eateries/bars a block east of campus on Short Vine, and restaurants at the south edge on Calhoun Street.

Welcome to Cincy!

So - if demand outweighs the 4000 in the lower bowl, will they open up additional seating?

No. The Bearcats hosted VA Tech last year, as well as the game last night, and they made no attempt to open the upper level. What they're trying to do is to allow fans who rarely get to sit in prime areas to experience it. Except for the student sections on the end, the high roller boosters buy those. Everyone else goes upstairs ... normally. However, season ticket holders hold no advantage for the NIT, and pricing is considerably less than normal in the lower bowl.

The usually rowdy fans stuck upstairs are now at court level, replacing wealthier, say, staid occupants of those seats.

If you get to campus early enough to walk around, it's nothing like a typical urban campus. A few years back, Forbes Magazine included UC's campus in a spread as one of the 16 most beautiful in the world because of the unique architecture and green spaces. It's pretty hilly, so you can get a good workout.

Used to live there. If still open, Montgomery Inn is good for ribs and is located on the Ohio River. Across into Newport, KY there are bars and restaurants as well. There is a Hofbräuhaus brewery/restaurant there. Of course, if you are into heartburn, there is always Skyline and Gold Star Chili restaurants everywhere.

Thanks for the info Steve. Plan on coming today and spend the weekend in Cincinnati. Other than the game I plan on exploring the city as I have never been in Cincinnati before. Will be a nice getaway from home. Will look up online some of your best steakhouses in your area. Nothing better than a good steak with my favorite side of mushrooms. Oh and by the way. " Go Braves"!!!!

Who’s going to Cincinnati on Saturday? I bought tickets this morning on Cincinnati’s website. The site crashed when I was purchasing tickets it took a bit and I got back in. Somehow I managed to purchase 2 extra seats in a different section. Would sell to a Bradley fan making the trip for what I paid for them.$56 for both. Section 114 row 23 seat 1 and 2. Figured I’d ask here before trying to sell them online.

Sold tickets on stub hub this morning.

Wasn't this message put on the thread by Steve from Cincinnati? What happened to his message. Did I miss something?

Used to live there.....

my extended fam, grand and great-grand parents, are from Cincy area, and long ago (>30 yrs) I drove
there to "apply for a position". But when I got to Cincy, I was a little early, so I drove around town
a while and was really bummed by what I saw. I decided right there on the spot that I didn't want to live
there and just got back on I-74 & headed west.
I suspect it's better now, cleaner, but back then it was a dump.

Thanks for all the helpful info, Steve. Much appreciated!
