FC Cincinnati’s friendly versus Dayton.
Tonight, FC Cincinnati’s reserve squad took on the University of Dayton men’s soccer team in a friendly match at Nippert Stadium. We were anxious to finally get a glimpse of what Nippert looked as a soccer venue, what the view of the pitch looked like from our season ticket seats and whatever else we could glean from this evening’s match…
Nippert looked very bit as beautiful as a soccer stadium as I imagined it to be…
This is view we’ll have of the pitch for the season from our season ticket seats…
Here come the FC|C guys…
And the man, the myth, the legend, FC|C head coach, John Harkes…
We ducked into UC’s Catskeller for a quick beer before the match started. Glub, glub, glub… And then we were ready to go for kick-off…
We watched the first half from our season ticket seats…

Genifer got some nachos and I got some Bosco Sticks from Catskeller. Cheese sticks covered in more cheese. Maybe it was just warm breadsticks on a cold evening, but man, those things were good!
At half, it was UD lead FC|C’s reserves 1-0…
At the start of the second half, we were looking for someplace to sit to get away from the wind because it was starting to get a bit nippy out there at Nippert…
We were kinda taken aback by just how few FC|C fans showed up to support their team tonight. To say Nippert was sparsely populated would be kind.
We watched the last ten minutes of the match standing behind The Bailey out of the wind which was getting colder and colder…
It’s kinda tough to see corners from over there…
FC|C had some really good chances especially in the final few minutes. But at full-time, the match ended 1-0 to Dayton.
After getting to move around Nippert a bit, and get to see the game from different vantage points, we’re very happy with the location of the seats we chose for our season tickets. All tonight’s match did was get us even more excited for the first official USL FC Cincinnati home game at Nippert Stadium this Saturday!
Apparently, FC|C has eclipsed the 5,000 season tickets sold threshold, and has sold over 10,000 tickets to this Satuday’s inaugural home game. It should be an amazing atmosphere for what should be a very memorable night! And we can’t wait! 😀

HAPPY OPENING DAY!
Happy Opening Day from Eighth Street in downtown Cincinnati! #BaseballIsBack!
⚾️👍👌:) Here is the rundown of all today’s pregame events around downtown Cincinnati. And more here. But… with FC Cincinnati’s inaugural home opener on Saturday, I think this should officially be dubbed OPENING WEEK! ⚽️ 🏆 💯

A pretty lazy Sunday.
Today was a pretty low-key Sunday for us, just resting and gearing up for tomorrow’s big Opening Day festivities and we gear up for the start of another season of Reds baseball. This week is going to be a busy one for us. We’re going to FC Cincinnati’s friendly against Dayton on Tuesday, Reds Opening Night on Wednesday, looking at some houses on Thursday and going to FC|C’s inaugural home opener on Saturday. So we just laid pretty low today. We took Oscar out on some walks…
We streamed the FC Cincinnati match live on YouTube, and watched them pick up their first franchise win, 2-1 away to Bethlehem Steel FC!
The goal scored by FC|C striker Sean Okoli was named one of the top five goals from Week 2 in the USL! And finally, we got some DQ Blizzards and chilled…

Nashville Hot.
This afternoon we drove out to Crescent Springs, Kentucky to pay a visit to Nashville Hot. They serve up authentic Nashville-style hot chicken with a custom spice blend and southern-inspired sides. To be honest with you, I’ve never heard of Nashville-style hot chicken until that colonel started trying to shove his KFC Nashville Hot chicken down my throat. Apparently, Nashville Hot opened back at the beginning of February. But I didn’t hear about them until they recently hosted a tap takeover with Braxton Brewing Company. Let’s check it out…
Genifer ordered a house salad and added two boneless chicken tenders. And I ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich on Texas Toast with a side of baked mac ‘n cheese. Throw in a couple of Braxton Storms, and there’s our lunch…
I had mine with the Southern Heat and Genifer had the Midwest Medium heat. The Southern Heat definitely lived up to its name, but next time I’m going all in on the Nashville Hot. There really wasn’t a good way to eat this sammich. But it was such delicious stuff!
We can’t wait to come back to eat more amazing chicken at Nashville Hot. 🙂

FC Cincinnati.
This afternoon FC Cincinnati was having a 20% off sale on all FC|C merchandise at their store on Fourth Street…
Genifer added a hoodie to her FC|C wardrobe, and I added a t-shirt. And we both picked up FC Cincinnati home jerseys! We have our fingers crossed for nice weather for the reserve match against University of Dayton on Tuesday. But regardless of the weather, we’ll be at Nippert Stadium to watch FC Cincinnati’s inaugural home game on Saturday. And we couldn’t possibly be more excited. 🙂

Cyclones hockey game #15.
Saturday night is Cyclones final home game of the regular season. And tonight was the last $1 beer night of the regular season. It’s our final regular season Cyclones game of the year. Game #15 of the season…
Our photo made the big screen again…
And the ‘Clones won by the lopsided score of 6-1!
It was another amazing season of Cyclones hockey. Click to see all the photos I took at Cyclones hockey game #15 of the season. See you at the Kelly Cup playoffs in a few weeks! 🙂
