The third year of Tommy Tuberville’s tenure at Cincinnati will have the team return to Nippert Stadium after having to play their 2014 home games at Paul Brown Stadium for stadium renovations. With a new stadium along with finishing in a three-way tie for the AAC regular season crown last season, the Bearcats football program looks to take the next step and be the lone winners of a regular season title.
Gunner Kiel is back under center for the Bearcats after a superb 2014 season that saw him throw for 3,254 yards with 31 touchdowns versus only 13 interceptions. With a favorable non-conference schedule, the Bearcats should be in the mix for a berth in the College Football Playoff if a few things break the right way.
With that said, attending games at the newly-renovated Nippert Stadium will be one of the best on-campus attractions.

Below are the three most expensive average ticket prices to Bearcats’ games on the secondary market according to TiqIQ.com. Coincidentally, the three most expensive tickets to Bearcats games are all at home.
Most Expensive: 10/1/2015 | Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Miami Hurricanes | Nippert Stadium | Average Price: $151.05 | Get-in Price: $84
Cincinnati continues its out of conference series with the Miami (FL.) Hurricanes and is the most expensive Bearcats game this season. It shows how the storied Hurricanes’ name still resonates strongly with college football fans. Last year, Miami contributed as one of Cincinnati’s four losses in the season by winning, 55-34, at Sun Life Stadium. This year’s contest is coming to Cincinnati and will be nationally televised on ESPN. This will be the Bearcats’ most important non-conference game of the season.
11/4/2015 | Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Tulsa Golden Hurricane | Nippert Stadium | Average Price: $65.82 | Get-in Price: $47
The Tulsa Golden Hurricane are transitioning with Philip Montgomery, who left his position as the Baylor Bears’ offensive coordinator to become the head coach. Baylor led the nation in total offense with 581.5 yards per game so it’s safe to say this Tulsa team will produce a little better than last year’s 2-10 team that finished at 2-6 in the conference.
10/31/2015 | Cincinnati Bearcats vs. UCF Knights | Nippert Stadium | Average Price: $57.47 | Get-in Price: $38
The Knights were one of three teams that earned a share of the regular season title. This season is the first that the AAC will be split into two divisions, so the dynamics will certainly be different in 2015. Luckily for Cincinnati, this game is not being played at Bright House Networks Stadium where the Knights have produced a dominant home record. Last season, the two teams did not meet.
