Paycor Stadium was called Paul Brown stadium because of Paul Brown who founded the Cincinnati Bengals, who was also the former coach of the Cleveland Browns and is who they are named after.
I love the city I was born and raised in. We dont get enough recognition for the things we have. People forget that Cincinnati was once the 4th biggest city in America. Everyone just kept going west 😂. I moved away to live in NYC for a few years and while I loved it in NY I gained a new appreciation for Cincinnati.
Awesome! As a local guy I've been to a lot of these places, namely Paycor, GABP, Nippert, 5/3 Arena, TQL and Heritage Bank Center. I ride the TANK bus in Cincinnati/NKY almost daily and love seeing Paycor Stadium from the bridge next to it.
On the TQL Stadium exterior, there are 387 fins, not 500. They originally announced that it would have 513 fins (a homage to Cincinnati's telephone area code), but later realized that was way too many fins and quietly cut the number down. Also, the Bailey is not named after a bridge; it's named after the section of a castle where the weapons are stored. Very early on when the team launched in 2015, they had a sorta medieval/castley/knights vibe. They mostly eliminated it before they ever kicked off a match, but the Bailey stuck around.
Heritage Bank Center was originally called Riverfront Coliseum when it opened in the mid-70s as the home of the WHA’s Cincinnati Stingers. The arena was just plain concrete then, so the bright blue bands around the roofline and just above the entrances are definitely recent additions. Also, when it opened, Riverfront Coliseum had what the architect called “shotgun seating.” Like another arena by the same architect, Met Center in Bloomington/Minneapolis, instead of having all seats the same color, the Coliseum had multiple colors of seats scattered at random across the arena. Cynics said they did that to mask the poor attendance at Stingers games.
James Gamble Nippert Memorial Stadium is named after James Gamble Nippert (the grandson of the Gamble co-founder of Proctor & Gamble, based in Cincinnati). Nippert was a star quarterback in the early 1900s, but after falling and cutting himself during a football game, he got infected from droppings left by a chicken race run prior to the game. Nippert passed away from blood poisoning. In his honor, his grandfather, James Gamble, footed the bill for finishing the construction of the stadium. Nippert is one of the oldest original college football stadiums in the U.S. It's been lowered several times throughout its history, and as the video said, was renovated in 2014 and then modified again in 2017 to accommodate MLS and USL field standards for FC Cincinnati before the opening of TQL Stadium in 2021.
Finally!!!❤ but NKU's basketball arena, the Florence yalls stadium, Elder high school football stadium, St. Xavier high school football stadium and River Downs horse track should have been on the list. Also Kentucky speedway and Miami universities yager stadium, millet hall, and goggins hockey arena all could have been included as Cincy is the closest metro area to both
I love Cincinnatii have been 3 time. Been to Paul brow stadium see my bills play. And I have been to get American ballpark in Heritage Bank Center for WWE
