The Den Tailgate

March MaDENess - Monday Update
What a weekend for Cincinnati basketball. Between the official bracket reveal on Sunday night and the news of Wes Miller being let go at UC, there is a lot to process. But while the future of the program is shifting, one thing remains certain: March MaDENess is officially here. This isn't just a tournament challenge; it is a fundraiser to fuel our 2026 season.

Squares Board
We have a three-day sprint to fill the board before the first tip-off on Thursday. Squares are $15 each. As the tournament heats up, so do the payouts.

The Bracket Challenge
Think you can pick the perfect bracket? Join our official group on the ESPN Tournament Challenge app. The overall winner takes home a free order from the Den merch shop.

Visit TheDenUC.com to view the live board and join the ESPN group.
For Squares: Send payment via Venmo TheDen.

Planning a Grad Party or Summer Event? Rent from The Den!

As the Football off-season kicks in, we realized that The Den has a trailer full of high-quality event gear just sitting in storage waiting for the fall. Instead of letting it collect dust, we want to share it with our community!
If you’re planning a grad party, a milestone birthday, a church festival, or a neighborhood block party, we’ve got everything you need to host a great event without the "big rental company" prices.

Why rent from us?
Every rental helps us keep The Den going strong. You get clean, reliable gear, and we get to see our supplies being used for awesome community gatherings all summer long.

What we have available for your event:
The Essentials: 6-foot and 4-foot folding tables, cafe tables, and black linens.
The Setup: 10x10 canopies in red or black.
The Cold Drinks: 150-qt Igloo coolers and heavy-duty Orca coolers.
The Entertainment: Pro Peavey speakers, Giant Jenga, and even a tug-of-war rope! Our 7-foot inflatable Bearcat and the full Tailgate Trailer.
