UC could make some money off of this and it would be a nice recruiting tool for Coach Jones who is still working to lock down the best talent in the Cincinnati area.

I can think of at least one Cincinnati-area team, the Moeller Crusaders, that might be looking for a venue. I'm not sure how satisfied the Moeller staff is with their agreement with Lockland after switching from old Galbreath Field in the early 2000s.

From what I have heard, it will be the home field for Purcell Marian and at least one CPS HS.

Cool. At least they're getting a revenue stream out of it. The next move should be to contact the OHSAA and schedule tournaments for various sports there. They would probably leave the District 4, 8, 12 and 16 football regionals at Nippert but I could see lacrosse finding a tournament home there. Maybe parlay the relationship with the OHSAA into a tournament hosting deal for baseball at Marge Schott Stadium.

I won't seat many so I am not sure it would work for any tournament games in any sport.

MSS already hosts playoff games. Moeller and Elder played their playoff game there. There were a few other games as well.
