FC Cincinnati Match Days
The Bailey has drums. The march has smoke. Downtown has traffic. We have pedicabs.

Plan Match-Day TransportationA Crowd That Moves Before the Match Does
FC Cincinnati match days turn the West End, Over-the-Rhine and surrounding downtown streets into a moving crowd well before kickoff. Fans come in from garages, bars, restaurants, hotels and the streetcar, then do the whole thing again in reverse after the match — usually with stronger opinions about how far they parked.
FC Cincinnati match day is not just ninety minutes inside TQL Stadium. The audience starts moving through Over-the-Rhine, Washington Park, the West End and downtown long before kickoff, and the surrounding bars, restaurants and streets stay active afterward.
That creates a useful window for campaigns and hospitality programs because the crowd is already out in the neighborhood. A branded pedicab can circulate through the same street environment, carry riders and keep showing up while fans are actually moving from one part of the match-day experience to the next.
The match has a whistle. The crowd does not.
Branded Pedicabs in the Match-Day Environment
For larger programs, Cincinnati Pedicab can deploy up to 20 branded pedicabs. That can create anything from a focused presence near the stadium district to a coordinated fleet operating across a broader match-day footprint.
The vehicles can function as mobile street-level media, sponsored transportation or both. Sampling, promotional distribution, ambassadors, QR or offer integration and route tracking can be added when the campaign needs more than a logo moving through the neighborhood.
One branded cab gets noticed. Twenty may cause people to assume you have purchased part of the city.
Sponsored Rides: Make the Brand Useful
A sponsored ride gives the fan something immediately useful: less walking. The brand funds the transportation, the pedicab carries the campaign and the rider gets help moving through a crowded district before or after the match.
Programs can be built around a defined operating area, hospitality objective or dedicated ride pattern. The exact plan depends on street closures, access, timing and where the crowd is actually flowing that day.
Nobody has ever left a free ride unopened in the bottom of a tote bag.
Corporate + Client Hospitality
FC Cincinnati matches are also useful client and employee hospitality opportunities. Companies hosting guests can use pedicabs as part of an organized transportation plan when people are moving among nearby hotels, restaurants, receptions and the stadium district.
For corporate programs, we generally focus on organized groups of 20 or more. A fleet can move guests in waves, serve a defined transportation window or handle the short urban portion of a larger plan where putting everybody on a bus would be excessive.
It is also easier than asking twenty clients to text “where are you?” from four different corners of Central Parkway.

Just Trying to Catch a Ride?
Public street rides are part of the operation around match days, subject to where the fleet is working and what street access allows.
We do not promise guaranteed individual pickups at exact times through this page. If you see a Cincinnati Pedicab working nearby, ask the driver where they can take you and confirm the price before the ride begins.
