The March is born as SG members depart home bars prior to first kick (times vary) and merge together in celebration as we travel to Washington Park for Corteo. The March then continues on to TQL Stadium, where it culminates right before we enter for the match. All are welcome to join the March and be a part of a Cincinnati tradition!
At FCC games, various supporters’ groups sit in the safe-standing sections at the north end of TQL Stadium, also known as The Bailey. Some of these groups have special privileges that allow them to bring in noisemakers, flags, and banners. These items need to be pre-approved and can’t leave Sections 106-110.
A selection of songs and chants can be found on the Incline Collective website.
