1 injured in motorcycle crash in Independence

LEADING THE WAY. ONE OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN ALL OF MUSIC IS DRAWING SOME OF THE BIGGEST CROWDS. THIS CITY HAS EVER SEEN. THANKS FOR JOINING US HERE AT 5:00. I’M MIKE DARDIS. GOOD EVENING TO YOU. I’M SHEREE PAOLELLO TODAY, LEADERS GAVE THEIR BEST ADVICE FOR A POTENTIALLY RECORD BREAKING WEEKEND. WLWT NEWS 5 BRIAN HAMRICK LIVE AT THE BANKS FOR US WHERE MOST OF THE ATTENTION IS GOING TO BE FOCUSED OF COURSE, THIS WEEKEND. SO BRIAN, WHAT ARE THEY TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT MANAGING ALL OF THESE CROWDS? BECAUSE WE’RE TALKING ABOUT FC CINCINNATI, THE REDS AND TAYLOR SWIFT. YEAH. SO WHAT THEY’RE SAYING IS GO INTO IT WITH A PLAN YOU’RE EXPECTING SEE CROWDS, YOU COULD PACK THIS AREA ALL THE WAY FROM THE REDS STADIUM TO THE BENGALS STADIUM, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT HAVING ONLY THE CONCERT HERE AS YOU MENTIONED, THE REDS HAVE GAMES AND SO DOES FC CINCINNATI. YOU THINK ABOUT THE CROWDS THAT FILL THE BANK OPENING DAY. WELL, THAT’S THE KIND OF THINGS WE’RE TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE JAM THEM OUTSIDE THE STADIUM ELBOW TO ELBOW. IT COULD BE THAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE BANKS. THE MESSAGE TODAY WAS BE PREPARED, HAVE A PLAN. AMONG THE TIPS GO EARLY. GO TO SOME OF THOSE EVENTS LIKE THE TAILGATE THAT OPENS AT 12. THERE WILL BE ROAD. THERE WILL BE LOTS OF TRAFFIC. AND WHILE THE GATES OPEN AT 430, CITY LEADERS, SAY, COMING ABOUT NOON, THAT WOULDN’T BE TOO SOON. HAVING THAT PLAN NOT ONLY PARKING PLAN BUT AN ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION PLAN, A MEET UP PLAN, A SAFETY PLAN. YOU KNOW IF YOU’RE TALKING TO YOUNG KIDS, MAKE SURE THAT THEY REMEMBER ALL OF THOSE THOSE CROWD SAFETY TIPS AND DO NOT SPLIT UP FROM THEIR FRIENDS AND ALL OF THOSE GOOD THINGS THAT THOSE PARENTS LIKE TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEIR KIDS. YEAH. NOW, AS FAR AS STAYING IN COMMUNICATION, I ASK ABOUT WHETHER THEY’RE GOING TO PUT CELL TOWERS ACTUALLY LIKE THEY EXPAND CELL TOWER CAPACITY, LIKE DO AT NASCAR SOMETIMES. DOESN’T SOUND LIKE THEY’RE GOING TO BE DOING THAT. THE BENGALS SAY THEY ARE CONFIDENT THAT THEIR FI AT THE STADIUM CAN HANDLE THE CROWD CAPACITY INSIDE. BUT IF YOU’RE OUT DOWN THE BANKS THIS WAY AND YOU CAN’T GET A SIGNAL MIGHT WANT TO COME OVER TO THE BENGALS STADIUM TRY AND LOG ON TO THEIR WI FI SO YOU CAN GET A SIGNAL OUT. PAULDING LY BRIAN HAMRICK WLWT NEWS 5 BRIAN ENO WERE ALSO CHECKING ON HOTELS. WHAT’S THE POSSIBLE ABILITY OF SOMEONE GETTING A HOTEL IF THEY HAVEN’T DONE THAT YET? YEAH, NOT VERY GOOD. AT LEAST NOT DOWNTOWN OR IN OVER-THE-RHINE. THOSE ARE COMPLETELY SOLD. AS YOU GET A LITTLE FARTHER OUT, YOU FIND A ROOM HERE OR, THERE MAYBE AN OAKLEY, MAYBE SOMETHING’S BEEN POPPING UP AND THEN CLOSING DOWN NEWPORT, COVINGTON. BUT IF YOU GET ANYTHING THAT CLOSE IT’S GOING TO BE ABOUT 600, MAYBE $1,000. ABOUT THE ONLY PLACE TO TRY AND GET A ROOM OF ANY SORT IS OUTSIDE OF THE 275 LOOP. AND THEN YOU’RE YOU’RE PRETTY FAR OUT AT THAT POINT. SURE RATES PRACTICALLY A BARGAIN AFTER THE TICKET. ALL RIGHT, RYAN HAMRICK REPORTING LIVE FOR US TONIGHT. BRIAN, THANKS SO MUCH. SO IF YOU DON’T HAVE TICKETS OR TAILGATING PLANS, THE RIVER MAY BE THE NEXT OPTION TO CHARIOTS. TAKE WAITING. YOU KNOW THAT TAILGATING NOT. THE COAST GUARD HAS WARNING FOR YOU SWIFTIES OUT THERE IF YOU WANT TO DOCK YOUR BOAT OUTSIDE OF PACKER STADIUM. THE THAT RIGHT OUTSIDE IS THE SHIPPING CHANNEL AND THE COAST GUARD’S GOING TO BE CLOSING THE RIVER FOR THIS FOR THE CONCERT COMING UP AT 530. THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BRING ON BOARD BEFORE THAT SHOW AND CAN SCAN THE QR CODE. YOU LIKE THE LITTLE CUTE TAYLOR SWIFT WE HAVE THERE IN THAT QR CODE TO GET OUR TAYLOR SWIFT CONCERT GUIDE GOING. WLWT DOT COM HAS MORE ON EVERYTHING FROM TICKETS STADIUM INFO. YOU CAN ALSO FIND THE VERY LATEST ON THE FREE WLWT MOBILE APP. DID NOTICE THAT WE’VE SHOWN IT ABOUT 100 TIMES AND I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE IT. YES. YEAH. KEVIN WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS WEEKEND AND COULD BE SOME CHALLENGES AS FAR AS THAT STADIUM, THAT AREA AND THE WEATHER THAT WILL BE ABOVE IT. YEAH, WE PROBABLY HAVE SOME ISSUES AS WE GET TO THE WEEKEND AND I’M GOING TO DETAIL WHAT THOSE COULD BE COMING UP HERE IN JUST A LITTLE BIT. BUT WE’VE GOT A FEW ISSUES OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW AS IT RELATES TO THE AIR QUALITY HERE IN OF COURSE, THEN GOOD OLD CANADIAN WILDFIRE SMOKE HAS DRIFTED ITS WAY BACK INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. YOU CAN SEE THE VISIBILITY REDUCTIONS. YOU CAN SEE IT IN SOME INSTANCES. YOU CAN EVEN SMELL IT A LITTLE BIT OUT THERE. LET ME SHOW YOU. THAT’S HOW IT LOOKS NOW. WHERE’S OUR AIR QUALITY CURRENTLY SITTING? WELL, BETWEEN UNHEALTHY FOR SENSITIVE GROUPS AND UNHEALTHY FOR EVERYONE. SO WHILE IT MAY FEEL INVITING OUTSIDE THIS EVENING, IF YOU SUFFER FROM ANY BREATHING AILMENTS, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MAY WANT TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF TIME YOU SPEND OUTDOORS. RADAR IS QUIET. IT SHOULD BE A RAIN FREE EVENING AROUND THE AREA. MIKE AND SHEREE, I’LL LET YOU KNOW HOW WE START TO CRANK UP THE HEAT AND HOW THAT EVENTUALLY WILL LEND ITSELF TO INCREASE STORM CHANCES BY THE WEEKEND. ALL RIGHT, KEVIN, THANKS SO MUCH.
