Travis, Jason Kelce to record live New Heights Podcast at Nippert Stadium

The Kelce brothers are planning to record a live episode of their New Heights podcast at Nippert Stadium next month. Nippert Stadium is the home of the Cincinnati Bearcats and former home of both Travis and Jason Kelce during their collegiate playing days.

The New Heights Podcast has exploded in popularity over the last year and is currently ninth on Apple’s top overall podcasts list. Last week, the NFL star brothers recorded the show following Jason Kelce’s retirement after 13 seasons in the league. It was their first episode since February 21 and only the second since their post-Super Bowl episode. New Heights’ latest episode had 2 million views on Youtube in the last four days.

The live episode at Nippert Stadium will be on April 11. Jason Kelce left Cincinnati to enter the draft in 2011, Travis followed just two years later. While with the Bearcats, the elder Kelce brother played left guard. It wasn’t until he joined the Eagles that he moved to center.

Jason Kelce retires after 13 seasons with emotional press conference

Jason Kelce held a press conference on Monday afternoon to officially announce his plan to retire after 13 seasons in the NFL. The lineman hosted the press conference at the Eagles facility with friends, family, coaches and teammates in attendance.

Kelce put together a decorated career for the Eagles after they selected him in the sixth round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Cincinnati. He became a six-time All-Pro selection and a seven-time Pro Bowler as a key part of the Philadelphia offensive line and he seemed to get better and better with age.

Joining the Eagles’ offensive line as a rookie pushing an incumbent starter, Kelce won the job during his first preseason. He went on to become the first rookie in Eagles history to start all 16 games at center. Partial MCL and ACL tears in 2012 knocked him out for most of his second year but he returned to start all 16 games in 2013.

After earning All-Pro First Team honors in 2017, Kelce helped the Eagles clinch a victory in Super Bowl LII, defeating the New England Patriots 41–33. It took several seasons but he made it back to the Super Bowl with Philadelphia in 2022, but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, and his brother Travis. He toyed with retirement after that loss but opted to return for another chance at the Lombardi Trophy in 2023.
