Riverfront Stadium, Multi-purpose stadium in downtown Cincinnati, US
The circular structure along the Ohio River featured four tiers of multicolored seats surrounding an Astroturf playing field for baseball and football games.
Construction started in February 1968 after Cincinnati obtained an American Football League franchise, opening its doors on June 30, 1970.
The stadium hosted the Cincinnati Reds during their dominant period in the 1970s, witnessing Pete Rose's record-breaking 4,192nd hit in September 1985.
The venue included a three-level parking garage with 2,500 spaces and utilized a track system to modify seating arrangements between baseball and football events.
The facility underwent a partial demolition in 2001, removing 14,000 seats to accommodate the construction of its replacement before final implosion in December 2002.
