The unofficial online home for fans of the University of Cincinnati Bearcats. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

Looks like attendance at Nippert will be limited to 25 percent capacity.

Guessing a % of that number will be students (maybe 1000?) ...after all it is their school.

If you don't have season tickets you likely have no chance of attending a game in person.
If you aren't pretty high up in priority points you likely have no chance of attending a game in person.

Hows some big money donor gonna feel when their assigned seats that used to be Row 25 at the 40 yard line end up down at the 20 or up in the Shank because of having to spread everyone out social distancing.

And no congregating at the Rails around Nippert.

If the games happen at all, I can't see there being fans in attendance.

I think high end donors other than Doss will be fine outside their usual comfortable settings of the club seats. Once they realize there isn’t a bad seat in the house, they could soon abandon the high end club.

Been a season ticket holder for 31 years and only last 5 since 2015 opening have we been in THE CLUB. Prior to that we were in Section 105/106/107 and we kept improving our seats as they became available. I do agree compared to many "big" stadiums almost all the seats are decent. Going to games at mega stadium like to$u, Meeshegan, TN about half the seats provide only a good view of the JumboTron.

There isn't a bad seat at Nippert but there is a difference and if you've been sitting at the 40 and find yourself moved to the Shank you might not be happy about it given the $ outlay.

Big money donors at tOSU etc are going to be upset when their usually good seats are moved to the second or third highest level at the Horseshoe due to spreading people out.

UC cannot be delusional enough to think many club ticket buyers at $2,000 and up per seat will be willing to be downgraded to sit in general seating and still pay $2,000.

Unless you rotate who goes to which games...there is no way to social distance and give people their regular seats. Absolutely no way.

If they go with 25% of capacity based on donation level, I doubt I'll be attending many games in my palatial seats in section 210.

I think each UCAT member should be limited to 2 seats. Seats could then be determined based on UCAT points.

You would then pay based on the seat.

Works for me, but that probably means I'm out. I can't imagine 3 Lair tickets are high on the list.

I know it is naive, but Students should be taken care of first. The Doss crowd should come second. Guys like me Sol except for tailgating and game at bar.

I agree, but it'll probably be hard to get drunken students to social distance. LoL
