rams80 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I'm very surprised that Cincinnati doesn't have an indoor sports team (NHL or NBA). It seems like a good sports market, and they'd only have to compete with the Bengals one day of the week 8 times a year. There's obviously no arena in place but it's never even mentioned as a possible market.Cincinnati does have UC and Xavier basketball. Not quite major league, but I'm assuming one or both of those teams plays at US Bank Arena on a semi-regular basis. Neither does. US Bank's biggest athletic tenant is the ECHL's Cincinnati Cyclones.

DaytonBlue Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 U.S. Bank was built before UC and XU's arenas. UC used to play at U.S. Bank and XU was at Cincinnati Gardens. With Northern Kentucky University opening a new arena right across the river, I don't know how Cincy supports five arenas.

rams80 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think the answer is they don't. The Gardens and US Bank Arena actually had duelling minor league hockey teams for a while in the early-to-mid 2000s that resulted in a (predictable) near-Mutually Assured Destruction scenario; the IHL-ECHL Cyclones went on hiatus from 2004 to 2006 and the Mighty Ducks died following the loss of their parent in 2005.

DaytonBlue Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I was an undergrad at University of Dayton during the hockey wars, about an hour from Cincy. And who can forget the debacle that was the Cincinnati RailRaiders!And from a little research about the only thing that the Gardens hosts these days is indoor football, soccer, and roller derby.

DarkJourney Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 U.S. Bank Arena (Riverfront Coliseum) is sadly best known for the riot before The Who show in 1979. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
