A Gameday Guide To Cincinnati & Nippert Stadium

by Dr. Charley West on Nov 11, 2009 11:00 AM EST in Cincinnati

A lot of Mountaineer fans will be making their first trek to Cincinnati and Nippert Stadium this Friday night. As veterans of this road trip, The Smoking Musket has provided this handy "how-to" guide for the game. We want you to have a good time, but it's also probably a good idea to bring a semi-automatic weapon, at least two pints of your own blood for quick transfusions, and a cyanide caplet just in case you fall into the wrong hands. Also, I can only vouch for the places on this specific map. Wandering off the map means certain death.

Good luck!

Nicely done….I enjoyed the “Viking Attack” designation in particular.

I forgot to include the trash can

…that now holds Nick Lachey’s career.

I'd kinda like to watch the Viking Attacks

if at all possible.

By the way, the "Cash" locations on the map?

Those aren’t ATMS. You’re the ATM.

Do not under any circumstances

Explore the city on foot.

The Westin downtown is nice.

If you’re a Steelers/Piitsburgh PRO sports fan there is a nice Steelers/Pens/Pirates bar close to campus but not in the ghetto – although it’s a thin line in all directions so be careful.

I love the Steelers but my personal favorite was a UC sports (ie basketball)/Monty Python themed bar right across from 5/3 Arena called The Holy Grail. Good pregame atmosphere and good chili from my experience
before a basketball game 2 or 3 years ago.

You Are Right On, Goiter...

REPEAT….do NOT explore the city on foot, or try to walk from your downtown hotel to the stadium. It really is not that far but goes through some dangerous areas.

This

will come in handy on Friday. I think the Viking Attack might be worth the risk.

I bleed blue... and red, but that's not my fault. I didn't get to choose that one.

You forgot the turkeys

You forgot to warn fans about the possibility of being struck in the head with a live turkey…apparently, some radio station there plans to drop turkeys on crowds from a helicopter. You’ve been warned.

Funny stuff

As a resident, I can confirm the Holy Grail is a good joint….but be sure to bring your ‘musket’ (whatever that is)….and the knifings, they’re all over the city, not just near campus….just to make you guys feel at home, there will be plenty of banjo music in the bars this weekend.
