Reds to open kids playland

BY GEOFF HOBSON
The Cincinnati Enquirer

John Allen is kidding around with Reds' fans this season.

Allen, the Reds' managing executive, plans a children's area at Cinergy Field complete with food and playground equipment. The play place will be located where the stadium club should have gone, in the yellow seats in right center field.

''It's something to do while mom and dad are watching the game,'' Allen said. 'It gives them something else to do in a place that focuses on them.''
