Our game in 2014 will be moved due to renovations at Nippert. I think its good for us in that it will eliminated some home field advantage. 30k at PBS wont be very loud

I'd bet there will be more than 30K. People who haven't had opportunity or didn't want to deal with Cinci's campus might take advantage.

I will be there with about 12-18 relatives. Lets make this a home game crowd.

I was looking forward to going to UC. It is only a 4.5 hour drive for me.

I will be there for sure. I can fly non stop on Delta from Tampa.

Only 2.5 hours from Toledo. I'm planning on it .

Toledo and Cincinnati should play more often. It would be a great rivalry. Toledo resembles Cincinnati more than it does any school in the MAC.

If, Toledo could get something going with Louisville, that would be a great 3-way competition.......

-Throw PITT in there and make it a foursome... That would've been a cornerstone of a nice conference... UT brings enough to the table to justify belonging in this mix...

I heard this awhile back and forgot to post

Atmosphere would have been much better at Nippert, close to a full house. PBS will be half empty, think UT games vs Pitt at Heinz Field, poor atmosphere. The positive, is there will be plenty of room for Rocket fans to tailgate. Nippert is landlocked, which makes tailgating tough for those without the appropriate passes.

Not even UTCharger73 can do that!!!

Why are so many thinking the stadium will be half empty? Revenge game. Easier access. Cinci are football fans. They've put nearly 50K in there for high school. I think you all will be surprised. Should be a GREAT atmosphere.

Takin' the Piper, huh?

I think being at PBS will help the Rockets too a little. That stadium is going to be half full for sure...can't wait to go!

I remember when they hosted No. 8 Oklahoma at PBS in 2010 and I remember seeing a surprisingly high amount of empty seats. I think what got the Rockets going last year was the electric atmosphere at the Glass Bowl, which I think Cincy won't have that same energy at a bigger stadium to give them a boost. Guess it depends on how well they do this year to see if they can draw a bigger fan base.


I will most definitely be attending this one. Looking forward to another Rocket victory over Cincy.

Nah, starting in H2oville makes it about 190 miles. Two hours at 80 is 160, then coast in.
