CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics has taken additional steps to improve the Game Day experience for fans coming to campus for Saturday night’s 8 p.m. game vs. Connecticut.

To ease traffic and congestion in and around campus and the stadium, fans are encouraged to arrive early and make their way into Nippert Stadium as soon as possible as the game is a sellout, UC’s second of the season.

Including the final two regular-season games vs. West Virginia and Illinois, which also are both sold out, UC has eight sellouts over the last three seasons. Nippert Stadium has been home to Bearcats football since 1902, making it the fourth-oldest playing site and sixth-oldest stadium in college football.

The UC Ticket Office, located on the main floor of the Richard E. Lindner Center, will open at 5 p.m. for customer service issues. Will Call tickets will be open for pickup at 6:30 p.m. at the windows located in between Lindner Center and Fifth Third Arena.

The UC Football team’s CATWALK will parade through Sigma Sigma Commons at 5:45 p.m., while the Nippert Stadium gates will open 90 minutes prior to kickoff at 6:30 p.m. A full assortment of CATSVISION programming begins at that time, including a showing of FOX Sports Ohio’s BEARCATS SPORTS WEEKLY with Brian Kelly.

In the stadium, UC Athletics has more than doubled the number of restrooms, with the majority being added outside of the southwest wall adjacent to Tangeman University Center. Additional restroom units have been placed in Victory Plaza in front of Lindner Center, along with UC merchandise and concessions.

Fans in the Bearcat Lair (Sec. 131-135) and the West Side of the venue (Sec 119-127) are encouraged to utilize the restroom facilities in the “Knuckle Building,” which is located in the northwest corner of Nippert Stadium.

Is there a port-o-let reserved exclusively for Ralph?

Bearcat Otto · 11-06-2009, 08:26 PM

The one that has the door locked all the time!

Great job last night UCMarketing...I thought the added restrooms were great. I never had to wait in line. Keep up the great work!!!

Anybody else have thoughts??

No wait for restrooms. No wait for beer. Great game atmosphere. Ralph, where are you?

So when are you guys gonna let Ralphie out of his port-o-let and give him his laptop back?

I suggest the day before the WVU game so the maintenance staff can clean that thing up for Friday night.

BTW, UC Marketing, nice job on the west concourse last night. Much better than UL and Fresno.

You banned the Ralph? For how long? He was good comic relief.

Went to my first uc football game in 14 years. Its not that i'm not a fan, it's the fact that i don't like crowds. Love the atmosphere. Love the tailgating. Love the stadium even if it felt like we were squeezing 35,000 people into 25,000 seats (a little too cramped for my taste).

I would update the concessions 1st. The food and the bathrooms need updated. If they are going to keep the portolets, then how about some tv's. I went to the bathroom with 5 minutes to go in the 1st half (trying to beat the rush). Missed 13 points by uc and an amazing td catch by binns.

I dont see them expanding the seats until they have a waiting list for season tickets. Overall, great experience.

Again, do not use the port-o-pots. Use TUC or the new restrooms at the NW corner of the stadium. No one in my group had to wait at all for the restrooms.

And after tailgating, you really do not need the concessions.
