Black N Bluegrass Rollergirls

Wow! I love watching Roller Derby. I mean I used to watch it as a kid on TV, but I never suspected I’d actually enjoy going to live sporting events. I have a blast every time I go, and I’m very excited to see the team moving to the Bank of Kentucky Center this Spring. HUGE venue! Hope to see you there!

Cincinnati is fortunate to have two roller derby leagues. Black-​N-​Bluegrass is the true nit-​and-​grit team, packing catastrophic hits and sonic speed.
New to Roller Derby? Learn all about it with this short video:
Each Black N Bluegrass event is a double header, starting with an hour-​long bout featuring their B-​Team, The Shiners. Following intermission is an hour-​long main bout with the A-​Team, The Blackouts. The league battles other roller derby teams regionally and has garnered a large following since their origin in 2006.
As a season pass holder, I’ve been an avid fan of Black-​N-​Bluegrass since the very beginning. It has been a pleasure to see this team evolve and improve. My favorite night was when they beat an opponent with a 300-​point lead. Now that’s action packed roller derby!
My favorite seat is floor side in the Suicide Seating. Being right up against the out-​of-​bounds line puts you directly in the action, and may cause a Rollergirl to end up in your lap sometime during the evening. My favorite derby girls are Shaken-​n-​Stirred, Scary Garcia, Rosie The Riv-​Hit-​Her, Bertha Knuckles, TANK, and Skinnie Minnie (who is neither skinny or mini.) All of the ladies are fabulous with tactics unique to each player.
After the game, fans are welcome to get autographs and pictures with the team, as well as high-​fiving the Rollergirls on their introductory and victory laps. They may bring a brutal game, but Black-​N-​Bluegrass genuinely adore their fans.
