Vote ID : 377954 the smokestacks and the misters are a nice touch. the scoreboard has amazing resolution.

Vote ID : 378172 closeness to the field
Vote ID : 378173 Views of river

Vote ID : 378209 nice view of the ohio river
Vote ID : 378210 The current lineups are always posted on the main scorebook. This is very helpful for those of us who keep score. At Riverfront, there were times when a switch was made in the field and you never knew it until the player came to bat.
Vote ID : 378211 The scoreboard, the view of the field...The ballpark is excellent...I will not be renewing due to the poor product the Reds are putting on the field.
Vote ID : 378214 opening day was great if they just could have won
Vote ID : 378218 The Handicapped Access
Vote ID : 378219 Intimacy! It's just a nice little ballpark. Nothing fancy. I don't feel like I'm there to see or be seen. I feel like this park is designed to keep fans involved in the game. If I want to leave my seat and take a stroll, i can and not miss a single pitch. Lots of neat little places to stand. I just feel GOOD when I'm there and I never stop smiling.
Vote ID : 378220 it resembles a real baseball park
Vote ID : 378225 The structure itself is very good to look at.
Vote ID : 378230 The view and the value.

Vote ID : 378237 walking around the stadium - seeing game from different areas

Vote ID : 378265 the club section
Vote ID : 378266 I like the seats in right field those are favorite place to watch the game from. I like the width of the concourse on the 3rd base side. I like the scoreboard, I think it's top notch.
Vote ID : 378269 The Club section.
Vote ID : 378270 It's not Cinergy Field ... and the Bengals are outta sight and outta mind. For the first time in years, Cincy's park oozes baseball.
Vote ID : 378271 The fact that it embraces the team's past
Vote ID : 378274 Modern and it's baseball-only.
Vote ID : 378277 The view of the river, and the bleachers
Vote ID : 378278 Scoreboard
Vote ID : 378282 Bleacher Seats!

But did the tax-payers on hamilton county get ripped off & lied to bye Reds ownership yes if we had known there would be a fire sale should have included uncle Carl & Jonny aint never done nothing for the Reds lately allen go aswell. WE are witnessing the new Mike Brown look at reds ownership. We the tax payers of hamilton should file a suit against our beloved Reds for there lies. Let baseball be involved in the hiring process of the general manager & manager. were mad as hell an wont take this anymore. Grant colerain township. Redsfan1@aol.com

Vote ID : 378304 openess

Vote ID : 378319 Actual emotional baseball was played in the beginning....

Vote ID : 378341 Ballpark access.
Vote ID : 378343 The mosaics of the 1869 and 1976 teams. Very cool.
Vote ID : 378344 Everything!! I think it a 1000% improvement, Cinergy had run it course. Leaving and arriving at the stadium in are big improvements, and what I mean by that is the pedistrain traffic flow in my opinion is greatly improved. One no longer stands there in a big sweaty group as it was at Cinergy.
Vote ID : 378345 Not a bad seat anywhere in the ballpark
Vote ID : 378347 Well designed
Vote ID : 378348 The scoreboard.
Vote ID : 378353 It is not Cinergy - It is unique.

Vote ID : 378370 The history it represents.
Vote ID : 378371 Statue of Nuxhall

Vote ID : 378376 I like the fact that they did something different than brick retro. It raises the bar to create ballparks with different architecture than Camden Yards/Jacobs Field mold.
Vote ID : 378377 The comfortable seats, and the quality of the ushers and concessionaires.
Vote ID : 378378 can watch river from seats easy to get to don't have to walk a mile to top seats

Vote ID : 378432 Easy to enter from river and lower level seats offer excellent view of field.
Vote ID : 378435 I live in Chicago, but originally from Cincy. My husband is a lifetime Chicago resident. In his (and my) opinion, this stadium was fantastic. We sat in club level seats and enjoyed the enclosed 'bar-like' seating one can retreat to occasionally when you need to cool off. Also, your mid-inning contests are cool - you actually give away prizes, which mean a lot to the fans. Not every stadium does that - it shows you (and your sponsors) care.
Vote ID : 378436 The spacious room
Vote ID : 378437 -
Vote ID : 378439 Fan friendly
Vote ID : 378440 I love the park

Vote ID : 378458 open, easy to watch
Vote ID : 378459 No really bad seats, good baseball atmosphere.
Vote ID : 378460 Not one thing!
Vote ID : 378461 We only see real players when the visiting team is in town.
Vote ID : 378462 The cozy Wrigley-like feel of the park.
Vote ID : 378464 I like how the seats are angled towards home plate. I also like the right field sun/moon deck.
Vote ID : 378465 sun deck
Vote ID : 378468 $5 cheap seats in right field

Vote ID : 378477 Sight lines, scoreboards, river view
Vote ID : 378478 it was at least better than the play on the field
Vote ID : 378480 When the game ended and I could leave.
Vote ID : 378481 I like being able to walk in at street level rather than the unending maze of ramps and escalators at Cinergy.
Vote ID : 378482 Wide open areas to walk around and see the game. The overall atmoshpere is outstanding (when the Reds are fielding an actual major league team).
Vote ID : 378483 The fact that it is a ballpark. It's not frilly like some parks. When I go to a game..I want to watch the game..not play carnvial games or arcade games, or swim!
Vote ID : 378485 The view (both looking out of the park and the view of the game from the seats).
Vote ID : 378489 View of river, fireworks stacks.

Vote ID : 378501 looks of the park and the atmosphere.
Vote ID : 378503 The field is beautiful and most of the walkways (except for the first base line) is wide open and easy to traverse in large crowds. Nice view of the river, too.
Vote ID : 378505 The sun\moon deck seats. The smoke stacks. 4192 room.
Vote ID : 378506 Great sight lines, clean atmopshere, proximity of seats to field.
Vote ID : 378507 Even if the Reds are not a real baseball team, it has a traditional baseball feel.
Vote ID : 378512 It certainly gives off the atmosphere of an "ole time" ballpark--you just can't beat a natural surface field. It's a much more pleasureable experience than Cinergy Field.
Vote ID : 378513 It is not Cinergy.
Vote ID : 378514 it looks like a baseball park
Vote ID : 378518 Standing behind the plate in the lower concourse.

Vote ID : 378523 I thought the view from our seats was very good and I liked the old time baseball park feeling.

Vote ID : 378535 Quotes around the concourse.

Vote ID : 378573 Seeing it in my rearview mirror.
Vote ID : 378574 Seating views
Vote ID : 378575 THAT IT IS A BALLPARK AND NOT A STADIUM. IT'S JUST A BETTER BASEBALL ATMOSPHERE.
Vote ID : 378577 The atmosphere is more suited to watching a baseball game. It is a true "baseball park". It is much better than watching a baseball game in an arena which is designed to host anything from baseball to football to tractor pulls to outdoor concerts.
Vote ID : 378578 Its new.
Vote ID : 378579 The warm,cozy,fan-friendly atmosphere
Vote ID : 378584 The opening of the Stadium toward the river is a magnificent view! Also, setting in left field seats for batting practice and catching home run balls is a real rush.

Vote ID : 378586 Seats are so close to the action
Vote ID : 378591 Being closer to the action.

Vote ID : 378599 good view; close to the field
Vote ID : 378600 Nothing, it is very average. I've been to Pac Bell park, Camden, & Coors field. Our ballpark doesnt come close to the others.
Vote ID : 378602 The view of the river
Vote ID : 378603 Grass playing field, excellent sightlines, the moon deck, mister under the smokestacks
