WHY:
The Bearcats have played at historic Nippert Stadium since 1901. The unique, sunken bowl-style stadium is the second oldest college football home field in the U.S. UC stepped up in the football pecking order by joining the Big 12 Conference in 2023.

VIBE:
Party in the heart of UC’s campus just steps from the stadium. With more than 125 tailgating zones, food and beverage vendors, and interactive games, you’ll need little else to have a good time. Be sure to arrive at least 2.5 hours before kickoff for The Catwalk: a parade of players and cheerleaders led by the marching band and, of course, the Bearcat mascot.
