Nippert Stadium

Nippert Stadium is a football venue on the University of Cincinnati campus in Ohio. Brick walls surround the stands, and wrought-iron gates lead to the individual entrance areas.

The venue opened in 1924 and initially carried the name of the young athlete whose family funded construction. Over the decades, expansions and updates brought the complex to its current capacity.

The name honors a student who died following an injury during a game, and his grandfather funded construction. Visitors find plaques and memorabilia inside that recall the tradition of college sports.

Visitors reach the stands through several entrances, and signs point the way to individual sections. Concession stands and restrooms are spread along the corridors, so most seats remain within easy reach.

The site has hosted college football games since 1901 and ranks among the oldest still-operating venues in the league. Two presidents delivered speeches here to large crowds, lending the place a distinctive political note.
