A brewpub, known as the Machine Room Grille is located in the left-field corner gives fans a place to relax and catch the ballgame with their friends. The bullpens are located beyond the outfield, the Reds in left centerfield and the visiting team’s bullpen behind the outfield wall near the right field foul pole. A clock atop the main scoreboard in left field is a replica of the Longines analog clock that was at Crosley Field. With little foul territory at Great American Ball Park fans have excellent views of the game.Ībove the bleachers in left field is the massive video/scoreboard. Doubled decked bleachers are located in left field and additional seating is located beyond the right field fence. It also allows the upper deck to be closer to the field than most in baseball. This enables people in downtown Cincinnati to see into the ballpark.

The gap is an opening in the seating sections located between homeplate and third base. Stretching from foul pole to foul pole, the upper deck is broken into two sections. The second deck consists of club seats, luxury suites and the press box. The lower grandstand extends from the left field foul pole to homeplate and around to the right field foul pole. Great American Ballpark has approximately 42,271 red seats in three levels. Upon entering the ballpark, fans have sweeping views of the ballpark. A rose garden, honoring Pete Rose, is located near the museum where his record breaking 4,192 hit was at Riverfront Stadium. Adjacent and connecting to Great American Ball Park along Main Street is the Reds Hall of Fame Museum and team store. Special lighting illuminates the statues, stone benches and a 60-foot stone sculpture meant to depict the romance of the game are also located in Crosley Terrace. Grass in the terrace is sloped at the same incline as Crosley Field’s outfield. Statues of Crosley Field-era players (Joe Nuxhall, Ernie Lombardi, Ted Kluszewski, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench and Frank Robinson) dot the landscape, along with a pitcher’s mound built to Major League Baseball dimensions of the day. The terrace is about an acre of concrete, landscaped with grass and trees. At the intersection of Second and Main streets is an opening to Crosley Terrace, the homeplate entrance, that most fans pass through when entering the ballpark. Banners of great moments in Reds’ history also line this area. Walking along the outside perimeter of the ballpark down Second Street, fans are greeted by a three-story building of brick and cast limestone, with the phrase “Rounding third and heading for home,” the signature sign-off of former broadcaster Joe Nuxhall, atop the building. Great American Ball Park is a combination of new and classic ballparks and provides an excellent setting for baseball.

WRIGLEY FIELD BATTERS EYE SUITE PROFESSIONAL
In the 1990s nearly every professional baseball and football franchise wanted a new single use stadium built that featured seating closer to the field, additional luxury suites and other fan friendly amenities. Riverfront Stadium was a standard circular facility that housed the Reds and Cincinnati Bengals (NFL). Prior to Great American Ballpark’s construction the area along the river was the site of the multi-purpose Riverfront Stadium and massive parking lots. Home of the Reds, the ballpark’s construction helped revitalized the area along the river and is a centerpiece of downtown Cincinnati. Baseball has been played along the banks of the Ohio River for more than a half century, first at Riverfront Stadium beginning in 1970 and since 2003 at Great American Ball Park.
