Whenever the Cincinnati Cyclones score five goals and win, you have fiveĀ three days to exchange your ticket for a free Donatos one topping pizza. After work this evening,
I picked up our free Donatos pizzas from Saturdayās 5-3 Cyclones win over the Toledo Walleye.Ā I also picked up a large pepperoni pizza because the more the merrier, and every piece is important.Ā I managed to get all three of them home on the bus without eating any of them…
And then it was finally time to eat free pizzaā¦
Free pizza sure is delicious! A super big thanks to Donatos and our Cyclones for our free pizza pies! It was a terrific way to end a great regular season of Cyclones hockey! š
I designed this Opening Day graphic to hang in our front windows at work…
And I had my #CapsOn for Opening Day…
I wore one of my favorite Reds ballcaps for #CapsOn Opening Day. I won this hat in a giveaway from Skyline. It’s one of my favorite caps because it has two of my favorite Cincinnati things embroidered on it, Reds and Skyline…
Baseball is back! We can’t wait for Opening Night! ā¤ā¾ā¤
It was fan appreciation weekend and that meant there was a really big crowd on hand for today’s game, almost 8,600. Even the upper bowl of US Bank Arena was open…
LET’S PLAY HOCKEY!
At the end of the first period, the Cyclones were leading 2-0 over the Toledo Walleye…
ā¤ā¤ā¤During today’s hockey game, we were on Kiss Cam at US Bank Arena!ā¤ā¤ā¤
And the end of the second period, the game was all knotted at two…
In between the second and third periods, there wasĀ Full Throttle go-kart racing on the ice of US Bank Arena…
The Cyclones jumped out to a 4-2 lead in the third period…
Make that 5-2!
Now they just had to hang in there for a little over three minutes…
Because with the win, theirĀ five goals tonight would mean free pizza for everybody!
The Cyclones still have a pretty good chance of making the ECHL playoffs. Who knows? Maybe we’ll get to see our Cyclones a couple more times yet this season. But if not, it was another great season of Cyclones hockey, and we definitely look forward to seeing them play again in October.
Back when we were in the Dominican Republic, we had tickets to a Cyclones hockey game that we obviously couldn’t use. We swapped those tickets for tonight’s Cyclones regular season home finale. We decided to make an afternoon of it and rode our beloved 17 bus into downtown to have a little fun before the hockey game…
We walked down to The Banks to check out some of the new places that have opened…
We went to check out latest new downtown burger joint calledĀ Burgerfi…
We streamed the FC Cincinnati match away to Pittsburgh while we were waiting for our order to be ready. We each ordered aĀ BurgerfiĀ Cheeseburger and shared a Cry+Fry…
Look at the size of those gorgeous onion rings…
They’re practically the same size as the burgers…
Those are some pretty awesome burgers!
Burgerfi really kinda reminded me a lot ofĀ In-N-Out Burger with their really, REALLY awesome burgers. I can see taking many walks down to The Banks for aĀ burger forĀ lunch during the work week. Really great stuff! After we were all done with our burgers, we went two doors down to check out the latest bar from 4EG called The Stretch…
The Stretch has cocktails on tap…
But they hadĀ Urban Artifact‘sĀ SlideruleĀ on tap. So we had a couple while we watched the first half of the South Carolina-Gonzaga game. And we streamed the second half of the FC Cincy match. They notched their first win of the season 1-0 over Pittsburgh.Ā Ā Hopefully, the Reds can get their first win in a couple days as well…
These are a couple of really fun new places in The Banks. We wished we could have paid a visit to the new Pies & Pints in The Banks as well. Next time. It was a really fun pregame afternoon that we look forward to repeating next hockey season. š
We have tickets to this Saturday’s final home Cyclones game of the regular season. Hopefully, the ‘Clones can end the home regular season on a high note. š
