Tonight, we made it back down to Great American Ball Park for Reds baseball game #13 of the season…
The Reds had won five in a row coming into tonight’s game. But tonight, they lost 7-0 to the Brewers tonight. It was still great to be back at the ballpark…
Remember when Cueto was on our team? Memories…

FC Cincinnati defeated St. Louis FC 2-1 in front of 17,415 at Nippert Stadium. Ugo Okoli netted both FC Cincy goals – one in the 84th minute and another on a penalty kick in second-half stoppage time. FC|C had the better run of play through the entire match and really deserved this win. It was a great game and terrific way to wind down a wonderful Labor Day weekend. 🙂

This afternoon we drove out to the westside to watch Genifer’s nephew’s St. Antoninus football games…
Liam’s game was first. He’s number 53 right there…
And then it was time for Aiden’s game…
He’s number 95 over there on the right…
It was beautiful afternoon for some great St. Antoninus football! 🙂

Today, we went up to Columbus to watch the Crew SC take New York City Football Club. We got these tickets back in April with the hope of getting to see NYCFC’s big trio of international superstars… David Villa, Andrea Pirlo and Frank Lampard. We made our way up to the Comfort Suites which is just a short walk away from the Crew’s MAPFRE Stadium. We waited for a break in the rain and made our way over to the Stadium. As soon as we got to MAPFRE, the match was delayed due to severe weather. But after about a forty-five minute delay, the match was about to kick-off…
Our seats for the match were great. It was a pretty incredible match that ended in a 3-3 draw. David Villa, Pirlo and Lampard all started and played the whole match! Lampard had NYCFC’s first goal, and David Villa netted a brace including a penalty in the 90+2′. And then Crew’s Ethan Finlay netted his second goal, an equalizer in the 90+5′! There were four goals scored in the final 10 minutes plus stoppage time! Like I said, it was a pretty incredible match. And we managed to get some pretty decent photos of the match including some great close-ups of some a lot of the players including NYCFC’s big three. After the match we got Pepperoni Rolls from The Pizza Joint. Those things alone are worth the drive to Columbus. YUM! And then Sunday morning we drove in the rain all the way back to Cincinnati. 🙂

A year ago today, it was announced that Cincinnati was getting a professional soccer team. Later that evening, we got to meet FC|C head coach and US soccer legend John Harkes. And the rest is history. It’s been a pretty amazing year of soccer in the Cincinnati. FC|C currently sit third in the USL eastern conference. They hold the single game USL attendance record at 23,375, and the single game attendance record in the state of Ohio for their match versus Crystal Palace at 35,061. And they continue to raise the bar on the USL season attendance record. We love it! It’s an exciting time to live in the Queen City. Happy birthday, FC Cincinnati! We couldn’t be happier to have a professional soccer team that we love in our hometown. 🙂

It felt like forever since we’d last been to a Reds game. It had been over a month since we were last at the ballpark. I don’t think we went a month without going to a baseball game in all the time we lived downtown. Heck, I don’t think we went a week without taking in a Reds game. But with all the FC|C soccer and our move, things happen and times change. Tonight, we hopped on the Metro 17 bus (god bless that 17 bus) and made our way down to Great American BallPark. Taking the bus in was super easy and much cheaper than an Uber and definitely way cheaper than paying for parking. We got off the 17 at Government Square on Fifth Street, and walked down Main Street to GABP. We had almost the same distance to walk to the ballpark as when we lived on Sycamore Street. It felt a little odd and weird to walk down a different street after so many trips down Sycamore Street to see the Reds. But there we were at Reds game number 12. The journey might be a little different now but it’s still the same beautiful ballpark we know and love…
The Reds were playing those whiny birds…
We had tickets for the Cincinnati Bell Fioptics District again. We really like those seats. It was pretty empty on the way to the district.
And not surprisingly, they were plenty of good seats still available…
The Reds were down to their last strike…
And this one did not belong to the Reds, 5-4 to the Cardinals…
The Reds took two out of three from St. Louis. Since the All-Star break, they’ve won six straight series. And win or lose, it’s always great to be at the ballpark. We ended up riding the Metro 17 home. And that was a bit of an experience just because the bus was surprisingly packed. We had to stand the entire trip home. Next time, we go to an evening Reds game, we’ll most likely just catch an Uber home. 🙂

This evening we hopped on the Metro 17 bus over to UC to watch FC Cincinnati take on fourth placed Charleston Battery at Nippert Stadium…
SPRINKLES!
At halftime, it was still nil-nil. SPRINKLES!!
The match ended 1-1, and we missed both goals. 
FC Cincinnati’s next match is away to last place FC Montreal at 2pm on Wednesday, August 3rd. The match was listed to start at 7pm but was moved to 2pm because of Montreal’s MLS friendly against AS Roma. FC Cincy’s next home match isn’t until Wednesday, August 24th when they take on Rochester Rhinos at Nippert Stadium.
It’s the only home match in the month of August. We’ll see you there! 🙂
