Cincinnati Sports Games | 美國辛辛那提球賽體驗

(中文翻譯請往下滑)

One of my favorite parts about Cincinnati is the many great sports teams. The whole city will drop everything to tune in or be at the game. Everywhere you go you will see people repping Cincinnati’s teams.


Tickets

We usually get our tickets from Seat Geek, seamless and convenient. It shows you what your view will look like when you purchase the tickets. Other apps that we compare with are Ticketmaster and StubHub. Sometimes you can snatch a great deal moments before the game!


Information

Purses need to be under a certain dimension, and have to be transparent. If you bring little ones to the game, you can bring a diaper bag with essentials like diapers, wipes, and baby foods.


Outfit

Most fans will be donning their team’s jersey. Sometimes there will be a theme. The Rams vs. Bengals game had a “White Out” theme, and Bengals put up billboards reminding fans of that. Baseball season is usually during the hottest months, and football season is usually during the colder months, so dress appropriately!


FC Cincinnati

https://www.fccincinnati.com

FC Cincinnati used to be the worst team in professional soccer. But since they moved into their new TQL Stadium, they got really good, and are now ranked first in the league! Thanks to UN for staying home to watch the kids, so that my friend and I can come watch the match. We ended up losing to FC Orlando 0-1, but the match was so exciting. TQL Stadium is set up like a European soccer stadium where there is no obstructed view. Highly recommend everyone to come to a match here to experience the American soccer atmosphere. I am coming back to watch the next match from The Bailey!

Cincinnati Reds

Live sports events have regulations such as only clear bags of a certain size are allowed. But they make exceptions for fans with babies. You can bring in your diaper bag, stroller, baby foods, and any other baby essential items. Great American Ball Park even has nursing rooms and kids play areas. GH are lucky stars for the Cincinnati Reds, they scored multiple home runs and won both of the games that they attended!

Cincinnati Bengals

https://www.bengals.com

When UN found out we were moving to Cincinnati, he texted me “WHO DEY!” The one live sports game we look forward to the most is seeing the Bengals play. I think every learning to watch football is on the top 10 to-do list when moving to the United States. Every game is loud and full of emotions, very unabashedly American.

Cincinnati is different from other cities that we have lived in. Here you can truly experience the passion and fervor sports fans have for their teams. Come visit us in Cincinnati and  go to a sports game with us!


喜歡辛辛那提的其中原因就是這裡有好多厲害球隊,整個城市會因大家回家看球賽而高速公路超空,連逛街商場也能感受到大家對於自己城市球隊的瘋狂程度。


買票訊息

我們通常在Seat Geek上買票,便利且快速。最喜歡的功能是選位置時,能很清楚的給你看觀賞位置和遠近度。TicketmasterStubHub也能買到票,可以多用幾個app做比較。有時在比賽前幾天會有便宜門票釋放出來,有機會拿到價位好且位置棒的票。


注意事項

包包大小有規定,如果超出4.5”x6.5”,就必須是透明的。如果有帶寶寶去球賽,尿布包可以帶入場,但建議只帶必用物品像是尿布、濕紙巾、寶寶食物,以方便檢查。


穿著

大部分的人一定會穿著自己支持的隊伍衣服。有時會有特別主題,像我們這次看Bengals和Rams比賽,那天衣服主題是white out(路上看板到處提醒球迷記得穿白色)。棒球季節很熱,美式足球季很冷,切記舒適最重要!


FC Cincinnati

https://www.fccincinnati.com

據說FC Cincinnati以前大墊底,但自從TQL Stadium建完(改朝換代的概念),他們變超強,現在成為全聯盟第一名!感謝UN在家顧小孩,讓我能和朋友一起來看球賽。雖然以一比零成績敗給佛州奧蘭多隊,但球賽還是超精彩。而且TQL球場設計很像在歐洲看球賽,觀眾席無死角,絕對推薦各位來看比賽,感受一下在美國看足球的氣氛。

在上傳這篇文前,我和UN一起來看球賽!而且我們站在Bailey的位置看球,太開心了!站在第一排,視線有夠清楚,且球迷超熱情,歡呼聲完全無間斷。上次看完球賽,我一回家就和UN說我們應該一起在Bailey看球賽。這次的位置超high,而且我們還上電視耶!

Cincinnati Reds 

https://www.mlb.com/reds

每次現場看球賽,球場都有各式各樣的規定,像是只能帶透明包包,寶寶大小尺寸限制。但帶寶寶看球賽的讀者們,尿布袋、推車(我們通常帶旅行推車)、寶寶食物,只要是寶寶需要的都能帶進球場。球場裡還有哺乳室和小孩玩的地方,雖然我們寶寶們還小,但以後大人看球賽時小孩也不會無聊了。話說回來,GH真的是全壘打小福星,每次一進球場就猛打全壘打!

Cincinnati Bengals

https://www.bengals.com

認識UN的人都知道他是美式足球狂熱迷!UN一知道我們要搬來辛辛那提的時候,他傳給我的簡訊寫説WHO DEY,我馬上知道我們要來這裡了!Who Dey是孟加拉虎隊的口號,比賽前還有隊呼,超high!從我們還沒搬來前,UN就常在家裡練隊呼,所以來看這場比賽,UN真的是興奮又期待!來了辛城三個月,看了兩場Bengals的比賽,UN覺得不亦樂乎,已經在考慮明年是不是該買季票了!我認為看美式足球比賽絕對是列為來美國十樣必做的事情之一。雖然每次看球都覺得好大聲好激動,但這就是美國文化,一定要把內心澎湃心情毫不掩飾的呈現出來。


在辛辛那提,能享受這城市每個人為這裡的球隊加油的氣氛。和以往我們住過的城市不一樣,這裡向心力好強,永遠都有話題能和人聊。各位,記得來找我們看球賽喔!

2023 October List | 十月清單

Cincinnati turned into Fall overnight. Without any warning, the morning temperature dropped below 40 degrees. Not only does my mom think it’s cold, I was caught off guard and had to dig out my winter clothes from the storage. What’s gonna happen when Winter comes? Even so, I love the distinct seasons, especially seeing the foliage and brown leaves lining the streets, making me fall in love with Cincinnati even more!

體驗一晚瞬間入秋的辛辛那提!完全無預警,一早起床溫度從六十多度降到四十度。不僅我媽喊冷,我也措手不及,我們快點把放在儲藏櫃裡的衣服搬出來。天啊,這冬天怎麼辦(開始上網逛街!)即使如此,我實在太愛這種四季分明的天氣了,開車在路上秋葉掉落滿地,讓我更愛辛辛那提了!


Ten Seconds

7606 Cox Ln, West Chester Township, OH 45069

I can’t believe Cincinnati has Guo Qiao rice noodles! Love! A newly opened Chinese restaurant, even though it’s a bit far from where we live, it is worth the drive. Asian food options are scarce in this town.

天阿,辛辛那提竟然有我好愛吃的過橋米線!近期新開的亞洲餐廳,雖然離我們家好遠,但還是很值得,畢竟這裡亞洲食物選擇真的少得可憐。

I love the cold, brisk Fall weather! After breakfast, we met up with our friends at the Sunflower Festival. In addition to the sunflower fields, there’s also pumpkin patches, food stands, corn mazes, and even a farmer's market. The sunflowers are good for picking, and are just $1 each stem.

天氣突然一瞬間變涼,正是我愛的!一早一家人吃完早餐後,我們就和朋友一起來看太陽花展。這裡不只有太陽花園,還有南瓜園、食物區、迷宮、超多選擇。在花園裡能採太陽花,一隻只要美金一塊錢。

VV The Italian Experience

http://www.vvitalian.com/

We often drive by this place, and I’ve told UN that I want to visit all the shops along this street. On Sunday before church, while the babies are asleep, UN and I came here for coffee and breakfast. UN ordered a latte, and was quite impressed. This place has become one of our frequent spots.

常常開車經過這裡,一直和UN說我要把這裡的每間店去過一次。週日上教會前,寶寶們睡午覺時,我和UN跑出來買咖啡和早餐,UN點了拿鐵,喝了第一口立刻稱讚!這裡已成為我們固定來的地方了!

Delicious cocktails! Thankful for my mom for looking after our babies, so that we can go on our date and not worry about time. Food is above average. We will definitely come back!

調酒好喝耶!感謝我媽顧小孩,讓我倆能不需擔心時間,慢慢在外吃飯約會,而且還能坐在吧台。至於食物嘛,普通偏上,但以辛辛那提標準,我們會常來!

Hello Honey

https://www.hellohoneyicecream.com/

Love their charcoal sesame flavor! After putting the kids to sleep, we came out for ice cream. We often get the ramen from next door, but never save enough room for desserts. We liked the charcoal sesame and honey lavender. Looking forward to trying out all of their other flavors. This is so far my favorite ice cream place in Cincinnati!

好喜歡Charcoal Sesame口味!飯後把寶寶們弄睡後,我們跑來這裡吃冰淇淋。常到隔壁吃拉麵,但一直沒機會來這裡吃甜點。這次點Charcoal Sesame和Honey Lavender都非常棒,期待下次是更多口味。榮登我在辛城最愛的冰淇淋店!

Streetside Brewery

https://streetsidebrewery.com/

Highly recommended for people who like fruity beers! I ordered a Hoodie SZN, the fruit fragrance is on point, and not so bitter like regular beer. Be careful, it’s very easy to drink more than just one.

很推薦喜歡果味啤酒的人!我這次喝的是Hoodie SZN,果香十足,不愛啤酒苦味的人可以嘗試。由於太好喝了(沒有苦澀啤酒味),實在很容易喝多!

Pho Lang Thang

http://www.pholangthang.com/

Mushroom congee and chicken congee are delectable. But I probably won’t order the pho again. They also have a soft serve shop next door, and it was recommended to us by our friends. They are open from Wednesday to Sunday, located in Over The Rhine, so be careful where you park.

香菇粥和雞肉粥都非常好吃,但我可能不會再點pho。他們也在隔壁開了soft serve冰店,朋友非常推薦,但只開星期三到日。餐廳地點在OTR,停車或走在路上需要小心一點。

Madeira Farmers’ Market

http://www.madeirafarmersmarket.com/

Farmer’s markets in Cincinnati are only till the end of October! Starting November, there will be gradually less and less stands, and their business hours are shorter. I guess farmers here have to prepare for Winter. We came here right before Halloween, and there were many kids dressed up in cute costumes. Also our babies’ first time carving pumpkin!

什麼!這裡的農夫市場只到10月底!11月開始這裡的農夫市場就會大大縮減攤販,時間也縮短。也是,冬天太冷都要待家裡了。這次剛好趕在萬聖節前來,好多小孩盛裝打扮。寶寶們還第一次畫南瓜!

2023 September List | 九月清單

Welcome my mom to Cincinnati and celebrate our babies’ first birthday!

Monthly list is back! After months of hiatus due to cross-country move, renovation (still in progress), and getting situated, Cincinnati is finally starting to feel like home.

歡迎我媽第一次來辛辛那提,和我們一起幫寶寶慶祝一歲生日。

月份清單又回歸啦!經過幾個月的搬家、家裡整修(還在進行中)、安頓,辛辛那提漸漸有家的感覺了!


Ohio Renaissance Festival (9/2-10/29)

https://renfestival.com/

We came on a hot opening day, yet everyone came dressed up! As soon as you enter, you are transported in time back to Medieval times. There are many performances and activities. Food options are great also. Must get the turkey leg, a fan favorite and GH approved!

活動第一天,我們就來報到了。天氣實在有夠熱,好佩服大家盛裝打扮!進入園區,瞬間時空交換到中古世紀。有好多表演可以看,還有不同活動可以參加。食物選項也不錯,但一定要買超大隻火雞腿,GH好愛!

Blooms and Berries Farm Market (9/16-10/31)

https://www.bloomsandberries.com/

Kids are half price on Tuesdays!
So much fun here! One of the things we looked forward to the most moving to the midwest is the pumpkin patch. There are so many activities for everyone of all ages. It exceeded all of my expectations! The Bee Train ride is very fast-paced, but you can bring your baby. GH aren’t a fan, but UN and I rode it multiple times. We love it!

門票:$6-$19,網上也能買到季票(不同天有不同價錢)
注意:每週二兒童票半價!
有夠好玩!搬來中部,我們最期待的活動之一就是來南瓜園。地大且好多好玩的活動,南瓜一顆比一顆肥美,完全符合期待值!其中有個遊樂設施Bee Train,能帶寶寶們一起玩,有點快速且刺激。雖然GH不太喜歡,但我和UN連續坐了好多次(感謝我媽和朋友看小孩)!

UN likes the coffee here! I love the atmosphere. You will find this place crowded on the weekends.

UN說這咖啡店不錯!我好愛整間店的裝潢。週末好多人在這裡,但環境非常舒服。

Cincinnati has many breweries, Madtree is a popular local one. They opened in 2013, and in 2017 they converted an old airplane hangar in Oakley and turned it into a family friendly brewery. Their food is delicious, has many beer options, and spacious indoor and outdoor seatings. Highly recommend it!

辛辛那提有非常多啤酒場,Madtree是當地非常有名釀啤酒廠。2013年開幕,2017年在Oakley把一個老式飛機機庫改造變成現在很適合全家來的啤酒廠。食物好吃,啤酒種類非常多種,室內室外都非常寬敞,非常推薦給各位讀者們!

The National Exemplar

https://www.nationalexemplar.com/

If you visit us in the winter, I will take you to brunch here! It feels like you are dining inside a snow cabin, a first choice for breakfast. We ordered Seasoned Breakfast Potatoes, a bit salty, but other foods are awesome!

如果冬天來找我們,我一定會帶你來這裡吃早午餐!很像冬季雪裡的小木屋,絕對是早午餐首選餐廳。我們點了Seasoned Breakfast Potatoes,有點過鹹,但其他食物都很棒。

Their hummus is to die for! Must order! They serve Mediterranean food. We ordered Rainbow Veggie Hummus Bowl for the babies, not only do GH love it, we love it also! Alma’s Choice and Blazing Balkin are worth the try also.

哇,他們的鹰嘴豆泥有夠好吃!必點!以地中海和中東食物為主,原本點給寶寶們的Rainbow Veggie Hummus Bowl,不但GH好愛,我們也讚不絕口(開始跟小孩搶食物)。Alma’s Choice和Blazin Balkin也是我們很推薦的兩道。

Grand Oriental Chinese Restaurant

4800 Fields Ertel Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45249

If you bring kids, you must bring your own chairs for eating! As for the dim sum, slightly above average, can definitely satisfy UN and my craving for dim sum.

帶小孩來的話,一定要自備寶寶攜帶式吃飯用椅!港式飲茶的部分,普通偏上但滿足我和UN想吃飲茶的饞。

There aren’t that many Asians here, so we were quite surprised to find authentic Southeast Asian cuisine. We came back a few times, and our favorite is the roasted duck!

這一區幾乎很少見到亞洲人,所以我們很驚訝這裡有一家專賣道地的東南亞菜。來了幾次,我們的最愛絕對是老闆Paul做的燒鴨!


Thank you for coming! I will see you next month!

謝謝你們讀九月清單!我們下個月見啦!
