Advice from Travis McElroy, Your Middlest Brother

Oct 23, 2023 | cincinnatimagazine.com | Sam Rosenstiel

“Do you want to see the map?” asks Travis McElroy—he’s practically already out of his chair, and yeah, I really, really do want to see it. He walks to his back wall, takes down a framed print of a hypothetical Cincinnati transit diagram (think if our abandoned subway project ever opened and operated into the 2030s) and brings it into focus at his webcam.

Crosley Field opened on April 11, 1912, and was demolished 60 years later.

They’d call Riverfront Stadium home before it too was demolished to make way for Great American Ball Park and The Banks. Those nostalgic for the bygone Crosley Field era have found ways to bring it back to life elsewhere.

How did you get started with the Cincinnati Rollergirls? My debut season was 2019, and I’d started in mid-2017 with zero skating experience.
