Is this really news? The opponents for next season are not going to bring enough for a game at PBS, I think everyone realized that already. The door to playing at PBS is not closed from what was written. If we can get enough people in there we will still be open to playing there.

Because?

What if Nippert family says PG can sponsor??

I realize it's Carson Field, but that still leaves room for discussion with
the Nippert Family, does it not?

The family gave a large gift to the Varsity Village project and in return UC promised to never sell naming rights.

I noticed that they are finally changing the worn out field turf at PBS. Was any accommodation made for cut outs in the end zone and mid field for UC logos when we play there?

That was in the plans.

I don't know if they followed through.

Not playing any games at Paul Brown is a big mistake for UC. Not playing at PBS will limit the teams who might be willing to play UC. I doubt that Oklahoma would have played UC at Nippert. With that said it will be impossible to get a schedule that will allow UC to get into bigger bowls such as they have available to them now.

This will Whit's first big mistake.

Uh...no.

Scroll to the to of the page. Read subflea's post again. The big bowl we have available now has to do with winning the conference, not where we play our games.

Only three ways PBS will ever become a viable option for UC football is if:

1. Crowd of 60K (yeah kyucat, that will happen with this year's schedule )
2. The lease expires, and a joint tenancy agreement between the Bengals/Bearcats is struck
3. The Bengals move out of Cincinnati

Not playing at PBS will only serve to make sure that UC will have a very poor Out of conference schedule year end a year out. Big name teams will not play UC at Nippert. That has been stated many times over the years.
