Outdoor big leagues is covered for ol’ Porkopolis.
The city is posturing for arena sites.
The Cincinnati Gardens is a ghost with their ol’ Royals NBA shadow and their Beatles echo.
Riverfront Coliseum has for a long time been nowhere near NHL standards, even though many acts have poured through, including a healthy dose of minor league hockey and arena football for a long time.
AHL and ECHL thrived in town simultaneously around the turn of the century. Many acts of hockey, indoor football and elbow ball coursed indoors, most memorably for me being the Cincinnati Rockers, Cyclones and Mighty Ducks at different venues.
I really feel Louisville will garner the Rastafarian NBA before upriver does. Will Cincinnati do more hockey and upscale NCAA tourneys? Sounds about right for Sweet sixteens and great eights. Two minor league hockey teams would be beer and hotdog fun.
We shall see.
