Cincinnati Bengals exec Jeff Berding trying to bring a new pro soccer
The 60-acre site will host Kings Hammer’s annual Blue Chip College Showcase Tournament, drawing hundreds of teams and coaches to the region every year, said Mark Calitri, executive director of the Clermont County Convention and Visitors Bureau.
“Kings Hammer has a lease that guarantees them 16 weekends to host their events,” said Calitri, who estimates the club will generate an economic impact of $28 million over five years from increased visitor spending. Kings Hammer had been using a field in Oxford for its events. Calitri facilitated the deal between the soccer club and the Ruebel family, which owns Red Barn.
It’s not clear whether Kings Hammer will have an affiliation with the new FC Cincinnati soccer team. Calitri said Berding recently stepped down as Kings Hammer president.
