Nippert Stadium

Cincinnati


Nippert Stadium is home to FC Cincinnati, the city’s new Major League Soccer team. It’s known for its rabid fans cloaked in orange and blue (the team colors) and their pre-game rituals that include a march with drums and flares to the venue.

Nippert is on the University of Cincinnati campus, but the team will move to a brand new stadium near Music Hall in March 2021.
