As like in Pittsburgh, The Reds went from having one of the worst stadiums in baseball to having one of the nicest in baseball. Standing just beyond where old Riverfront stadium once stood, is now the Great American Ballpark. Outside the stadium, along the 3rd base side are banners hanging from lightposts, each with a special date in Reds history. The Reds are the oldest franchise in baseball and have quite a history, so much so they have a seperate building that houses the Reds Hall of Fame. The main enterance is the "Crosley Terrace", named for the former home of the Reds. This was one of the more "fan Friendly" parks I've ever been to. There was more things for the kids then any other park I could think of, speed pitch, batting cage, 90' dash. Right next to the Hall of Fame is the Rose Garden, it is the spot where Pete's record breaking hit landed in the old park.
Stadium Rating - A
