Great American Ball Park, Baseball stadium in Cincinnati, United States.
Great American Ball Park is a baseball stadium in Cincinnati with seating for approximately 42,000 people and electronic scoreboards displaying game information. The structure sits right along the Ohio River shore with clear sightlines to downtown.
The stadium opened in 2003 and replaced the earlier Cinergy Field as home to the Cincinnati Reds. A sales tax increase approved by Hamilton County voters in 1996 funded its construction.
The stadium's design includes two tall smokestacks in right center field that echo the riverboats that once operated on the Ohio River.
The venue is accessible by car, bus, or on foot from downtown, with parking available for visitors. The riverfront location makes for a pleasant approach with opportunities to walk around the area before or after attending.
The stadium features an opening in the seating structure called "The Gap" that frames views between the baseball field and downtown. This design choice allows visitors to see beyond the stadium walls while watching the game.
