Can you believe we are ONE MONTH away from the home opener for FC Cincinnati? It feels like yesterday that the team was formally announced and here we are just a few weeks away from the club kicking off their inaugural campaign. Don't miss out on any of the FC Cincinnati action this summer though, plenty of tickets are available. Don't wait! Tell them we sent you!
We opened this week's show by discussing some of the upcoming friendlies FC Cincinnati will be taking part in. On March 12th, the team will be traveling to Indianapolis to take on NASL side Indy Eleven in a closed door friendly. The club will also take on Xavier University on March 18th at Xavier. Then on April 5th the club will host a "dress rehearsal" at Nippert Stadium when the University of Dayton comes to town.
We also took a closer look at the FC Cincinnati 2016 schedule now that the kickoff times have been finalized for the season. Lots and lots of home games in June and July. The road schedule really picks up in August and September.
Really excited about our guest on this week's podcast. We were privileged to have Jeff Berding, the President and General Manager for FC Cincinnati. Jeff discussed his background in sports, particularly his 19 years with the Cincinnati Bengals. Jeff also reveals interesting news surrounding Nippert Stadium's reconfiguration. Of course the topic of MLS expansion had to come up.
We also capped the show by discussing the recent price drop at the FC Cincinnati Online Shop. We also hope you'll take part in our #FANTHEWALL campaign and like our Facebook page at facebook.com/cincinnatisoccertalk.
