With its opening on March 31, 2003, Great American Ball Park became the second ballpark to be built on the banks of the Ohio River in Cincinnati. In the mid 1990's the Reds and the Bengals (NFL) began to want separate modern stadiums after sharing Riverfront Stadium for nearly three decades. In 1996, Hamilton County voters approved bonds to build new stadiums for the Reds and Bengals. In July 1998, the Reds announced that their new ballpark would be built between Riverfront Stadium and US Bank Arena in an area known as the 'wedge'. Groundbreaking for the ballpark took place on October 4, 2000. In order for construction to begin, 14,000 seats had to be removed from the outfield of the Reds' former home, Riverfront Stadium. For two years, Reds fans were able to watch the new ballpark rise beyond the outfield of Riverfront Stadium. Great American Insurance bought the naming rights to the ballpark for $75 million over 30 years; thus the stadium was named Great American Ball Park. Upon entering the ballpark, fans have sweeping views of the ballpark. Great American Ballpark has approximately 42,271 red seats in three levels. The lower grandstand extends from the left field foul pole to homeplate and around to the right field foul pole. The second deck consists of club seats, luxury suites, and the press box. Stretching from foul pole to foul pole, the upper deck is broken into two sections. The gap is an opening in the seating sections located between homeplate and third base. This enables people in downtown Cincinnati to see into the ballpark. The gap allows the upper deck to be closer to the field than most in baseball. Doubled decked bleachers are located in left field and additional seating is located beyond the right field fence. With little foul territory at Great American Ballpark fans receive excellent views of the game. Cincinnati Reds Tickets |
