FAQ

Why "Die Innenstadt?"
Our group pulls inspiration from our city's inner city neighborhoods. These are the neighborhoods with the most iconic buildings, richest history, and strongest energy in the city. We feel a connection to these neighborhoods. To reflect the history of the city, and because it sounds cool, we chose to use German for "The Inner City" to let everyone know who we are.

So, how do you pronounce that?
Basically, "dee inn-enn-shtaht". 

How do I become a member?
Memberships are available in our online store here, or in person at any of our events.

How much is membership?
$25 will give you membership with Die Innenstadt for the season. Included with the membership is a unique scarf design each year and member-only privileges.

Do I have to become a member to go to events?
Matchday activities are open to anyone! You can come out and see what we are up to before becoming a member. Some other non-matchday events are open to everyone as well, such as charity and volunteer events. Some membership events will be limited to active members.

Do I have to be 21 to participate?
You don't have to be 21 to be a member of Die Innenstadt. Some of our events will take place at bars, and so some events will inevitably be limited. We welcome anyone to join, but there are logistical/legal reasons why you might not be allowed to participate in everything. Those under 21 are allowed to attend the pre-game tailgate at Mecklenburg Gardens and the away game matches at rhinehaus.

Is Die Innenstadt affiliated with the club?
We are an independent group of supporters, that have a collective love for FC Cincinnati, but operate our group separately from the club.

Who is in charge here, anyway?
We are organized into a board with a President, Vice President, and seven At-Large Board Members.

How can I get more involved?
Aside from becoming a member, we have several committees and board appointed positions within the group that you are able to join and help contribute to! We are always looking to improve ourselves as a supporters' group and we're all in this together! We could use photographers, videographers, writers, web developers, graphic designers, lawyers, artists, etc. If you have a skill you think we could use, let us know! The best way to reach us is through slack or via our main contact email!

I'm with a business that wants to help out, what can I do?
We would love to talk about ways we can work together. Send us an email we'll talk about it.
