James Gamble Nippert Memorial Stadium[6] is an outdoor stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, on the campus of the University of Cincinnati. Primarily used for American football, it has been the home field of the Cincinnati Bearcats football team in rudimentary form since 1901 and as a permanent concrete stadium since 1915,[1] making it the fourth-oldest playing site and fifth-oldest stadium in college football, respectively.[7]
The stadium has also been used as a soccer venue, serving as the home of FC Cincinnati of Major League Soccer from their inaugural 2016 USL season through the 2020 MLS season, following which they moved to TQL Stadium. Nippert Stadium has a current seating capacity of 40,124[8] following the expansion and renovation performed in 2014, and the 2017 removal of corner seats to accommodate FC Cincinnati during their transition to the MLS.
