Vote ID : 377954 the smokestacks and the misters are a nice touch. the scoreboard has amazing resolution.
Vote ID : 377955 The layout of the seats and the different choices you have when selecting seats. To me, its just a lot better than our choices were at Cinergy: Blue, Green, Yellow or Red. I love the right field seats the best. And the food is so much better. I like the sandwiches.

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 : 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

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 : 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 : 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 : 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 : 378500 The setting/view/atmosphere
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 : 378532 Nothing really after paying the greater tax amount doesn't leave alot of money. So couldnt afford to go with wife and eat and other things.
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
Vote ID : 378607 The bleachers & the moon deck

Vote ID : 378677 The excellent views both inside and outside of the park. Every seat I had was great.

The space, without the horribly loud echo we had in Riverfront, in the concourses is outstanding. Food options have increased tremendously. Overall it's a great place to go see a game.

Vote ID : 378798 The playing field and the view of the playing field itself. I think that the seating views are good, though when I was in the upper deck it was higher than I'd expected it to be. I like the visability of the bullpens. I like the idea of Crosely terrace and hope that it turns out as good as it should. I like walking in the main gate and seeing the lineup posted. I like the historical photos but feel that more could be done to recognize the rich history of the franchise within the stadium area and in the upper concourse.
Vote ID : 378800 seats are closer to the field
Vote ID : 378803 It's openess is nice especially towards the river. It is a crime that they filled in the Sycamore gap with seats rather than leaving it open. The Light masts are pretty cool. The outfield wall MLB scoreboard is nice.

I also expect big things from the Hall of Fame next season!

Vote ID : 379215 The design of the different seating levels and decks.
Vote ID : 379216 better views
Vote ID : 379219 they play the cubs!!!!!!!!!!!
Vote ID : 379222 it is new
Vote ID : 379224 I don't think there's a bad seat in the house

Vote ID : 379238 The view from every seat is inward, you don't have to sit half cocked anymore to see the pitcher.
Vote ID : 379240 Great view from every seat.
Vote ID : 379242 Open feeling in the concourses. View of the river and city.

Vote ID : 379245 The seats facing the pitchers mound as well as the creativity of the appearance of the stadium.
Vote ID : 379246 I like the whole atmosphere. The scoreboard is fun with the Mr. Red race and Kiss Cam. It is not too much to take away from the ballgame but it is fun. And the restrooms are nice and plentiful.
Vote ID : 379249 The close proximity to the field of play. Not really a bad seat in the house. Except inthe left field corner, you can't see the score board.
Vote ID : 379252 Very clean-cut and a good place to take the family. Good views. Good atmosphere. Scoreboards and entertainment.
Vote ID : 379253 it is smaller and more quaint

Vote ID : 379260 That it was new
Vote ID : 379261 I like how close the fans are to the players. I really enjoyed the right field area for batting practice. I like the Video replay board. It is very clear and easy to see.
Vote ID : 379266 Smokestacks, scoreboard
Vote ID : 379280 Nice atmosphere. It feels more cozy than the last one did. Even in the top seats you feel like you are not too far away. Skyline Chili at the game is a major plus!
Vote ID : 379281 The best part about the new ballpark is without question the auxillary scoreboards. It takes the advantages of watching the game on TV (like pitch speed, pitch count, out of town scoring, lineups, etc.) and puts those amenities in the ballpark so the fan can be an armchair manager or umpire at the ballpark, where the real manager or umpire can actually hear you.
Vote ID : 379282 The closeness to the field

Vote ID : 379300 Great view of the river.
Vote ID : 379301 The feel that it is more like a party atmosphere and all the places to stand and watch the game that still have an awesome view...the gap, above both bullpens, in left field. I also like that the Machine Room is open after the game.
Vote ID : 379302 The outfield bleacher section and the homerun smoke stacks. The view of the river from your seats.
Vote ID : 379304 It's better than cinergy
Vote ID : 379307 Nothing
Vote ID : 379309 That it is new and more traditional.
Vote ID : 379314 close to the field seating
Vote ID : 379315 Site lines, openness, grass, bull pens
Vote ID : 379316 It is so much better than Riverfront...The concourse level, being able to walk completely around. The view from the upper deck toward the river from left field.
Vote ID : 379317 Smoke Stacks and the Crosley look & feel
Vote ID : 379321 It is open. The field is grass. The fans are closer to the field.
Vote ID : 379323 Nothing really stands out to me. The statues will be nice when they are all installed
Vote ID : 379324 The openess (actual word???) of it. You definitely don't feel stuck in a bowl.
Vote ID : 379327 Various seat prices are a great idea.

Vote ID : 379342 Proximity of seats to field.
Vote ID : 379343 Upper deck seats are still fairly close to the playing field.
Vote ID : 379345 The best that can be said about it is that it is ok. It's better than what we had.
Vote ID : 379346 The best that can be said about it is that it is ok. It's better than what we had.
Vote ID : 379347 I like that you can see the river. The cup holders,
Vote ID : 379350 The view from the middle level seats along the third base line (infield mezanine I think). The field is close, you can see the all scoreboards and you can see the river.
Vote ID : 379351 The openess of the field.
Vote ID : 379352 The view of the river.
Vote ID : 379355 The river view is great, general ambiance good, attempts to entertain kids good.
Vote ID : 379356 There are many aspects of the new park that I really like. I think it is very unique to our city(especially the Smoke Stacks) and stylish. I will enjoy attending games for a long, long time.

Vote ID : 379366 it represents the teams rich history well, it has character. has many cool places to watch the game, and has views of different parts of the city, compared to cinergy which was closed off and had no views.
Vote ID : 379368 it represents the teams rich history well, it has character. has many cool places to watch the game, and has views of different parts of the city, compared to cinergy which was closed off and had no views.
Vote ID : 379370 Prices and there is no bad area to watch the game.
Vote ID : 379371 Its riverfront location. The area behind the Sun/Moon deck is my favorite place in the park, you feel like the river is lapping against the stadium walls. A close second is the tip of the cap to Reds history in the concourses and outside (statues, murals, quotes, concession stand names). Lots of great reminders, until you take your seat (see below).
Vote ID : 379372 smokestacks
Vote ID : 379373 Bathrooms are much cleaner and actually have soap and paper towels in them (Riverfront didn't have soap for the past 20 years)

Vote ID : 379471 Excellent view from most seats on all levels, plenty of concession stands, great variety of food choices, no shortage of restrooms, and the Machine Room rocks.
Vote ID : 379473 I like that you can walk anywhere without being hassled by an usher.
Vote ID : 379474 Being closer to the field. It seems like a better atmosphere.
Vote ID : 379476 The view. You can see the game, the river, it's outstanding.
Vote ID : 379477 It has a much smaller and more intimate feel to it than Riverfront Stadium ever did. I think it has a more intimate feel than either Camden Yards or Pac Bell Park, both beautiful parks in their own right (I've been to both multiple times). This is especially true in the upper deck, where at both Camden Yards and Pac Bell you begin to feel very far from the action.

Vote ID : 379543 The seating is the best thing, there isn't a bad seat in the ballpark.
Vote ID : 379546 smokestacks, scoreboards, open air feel, good memorabilia in concourse area, etc.
Vote ID : 379547 The feeling that it is an actual baseball park. Cinergy always seemed like a stadium that was just used for baseball because there was no where else to play
Vote ID : 379549 The view of the river.
Vote ID : 379550 The atmosphere is bright and clean. The grass is beautiful. The scoreboard gives a lot of information, and I like the idea of the out of town scores constanly be posted.

Vote ID : 379563 women
Vote ID : 379564 The park is stunning. Compared to Paul Brown Stadium, which is stale and colorless, it was a pleasure to see GAP. The architects and construction workers did a wonderful job. However, I waited in line at the concession stand for 25 minutes (2 innings), with only 2 customers ahead of me. The workers seemed more interested in chatting with each other customer satisfaction.
Vote ID : 379566 Stunningly beautiful, all seats close to the action, and it beautifully combines the best aesthetic elements of Crosley and Riverfront.
Vote ID : 379570 Not a bad seat in the house Easy to get into and out

Vote ID : 379616 It's historical feel.
Vote ID : 379618 Liked the history touches. The quote ring around the stadium, the statues in front ... things to remind you of the history of the team. The views of the river from the stands give you a feeling of place and link the stadium to the community (Riverfront was too cookie-cutter in this regard).
Vote ID : 379624 Wheelchair accessible seating was great. We had tickets right behind homeplate. Oly problem was wehen it started to rain we got wet till we moved under cover.

Vote ID : 379640 I think the ballpark is extremely well done. I've enjoyed it from luxury seats to outfield and have enjoyed all aspects of each spot I sat.
Vote ID : 379641 Who cares about the park. The product on the field sucks and the ownership SCREWED the fans. I'm done as a Reds fan.
Vote ID : 379643 Good views of the filed
Vote ID : 379644 I like the intimate setting of the ballpark, you never feel far away from the action on the field
Vote ID : 379646 Good views of the field and beyond from most any seating area.

Vote ID : 379651 Gapper is great for the kids. The mist area in center field is cool and the posters with baseball quotes add a literary dimension to things.
Vote ID : 379652 Wide walking areas, where you don't have to worry about getting knocked around as you carry your food/drinks back to your seat. Also, I like the amount of concession stands and restrooms....no long lines.

Vote ID : 379697 Nice view from Kentucky side
Vote ID : 379701 Great Atmosphere, if we only had a team.
Vote ID : 379702 I think Cincinnati had a chance to not simply build a new stadium,but to be revolutionary about the design. They opted for a nothing special design. I like the grass.
Vote ID : 379704 Being close to the field and grass

Vote ID : 379717 Openess, feel of a baseball stadium, a feel of closeness to the field from almost all seats.
Vote ID : 379722 Something new, something different.
Vote ID : 379727 it was not riverfront
Vote ID : 379729 it was not riverfront
Vote ID : 379730 It utilizes its river setting well, and incorporates several features of old Crosley Field as well. Being able to take a riverboat over to the game is a fantastic,unique feature, but I know the Reds will never trumpet it, because it gives props to Hamilton County's arch-rival, Northern Kentucky. But it's a much better option than paying $10 to park downtown and fighting your way through panhandlers to get to the park. Crosley Terrace is nice, and should be even nicer once everything is finished.
Vote ID : 379734 That it's a ballpark, not a round concrete bowl
Vote ID : 379737 The open concourse, Crosley Terrace, the riverwalk, and the murals.
Vote ID : 379741 The number of restroom facilities. The openness of the overall park. I love the natural grass field. The location next to the river is fantistic. Seeing the river traffic during the game is a great feature. The scoreboard is great. Most of the seats angle toward home plate.
Vote ID : 379748 Wide concourse on main level. Creative names of concession stands
Vote ID : 379751 The family atmosphere and the emphasis put on that by the scoreboard messages.
Vote ID : 379754 The view of the river and city
Vote ID : 379756 The nod to the Reds' history; the views of the river from the upper-level seats.
Vote ID : 379758 its new
Vote ID : 379760 I think the overall atmosphere is much better...after having been to numerous other major league ball parks it is nice to have one that doesn't feel utilitarian.
Vote ID : 379764 The seats are very comfortable for ballpark seats.

Vote ID : 379775 Speaker system is very clear.
Vote ID : 379776 I liked the kiss cam and the Red race
Vote ID : 379777 The view is excellent as well as the concourse level, it made me feel like I was in one of the older ball parks such as Wrigley as I walked in and saw the paintings and pictures that trace the Reds history.
Vote ID : 379782 really nice place to go and watch a game. right field area is my favorite, both to stand and sit.
Vote ID : 379784 I like the atmosphere of the ball park the best, I really enjoy the openess it has. GABP brings back what a baseball field is about, it isn't staind by the corporate touch compared to other newer ball parks.
Vote ID : 379785 the views of the city and of the river
Vote ID : 379786 the overall appearance of Great American is beautiful...the grounds crew did a wonderful job keeping the field looking very healthy and green...it truly brings out the aura of the field of dreams...I also like the fact that you have more options on where to sit or even where you want to stand to watch the game. Great American is a very welcoming and friendly enviroment and I consider it my home away from home...My three other friends and I have been to over thirty games this season and consider the Cincinnati Reds a part of our family and the ball park is our home away from home. The Usher that seats us in our "regular" section has been nothing but respectful to us and he always looks out for us at every game we are at. also I like the closeness to the field you are in this stadium because it gives the feeling that you are out there, with the players playing the game.
Vote ID : 379787 The view of the river, the angled seating, and the intimacy of the field to the stands.
Vote ID : 379789 The view from the seats is good.
Vote ID : 379790 I like the way the concession stands have a view of the game. In Cleveland, you have to watch the game on a monitor while you are waiting in line.
Vote ID : 379792 Close to field. Grass.

Vote ID : 379830 Seating view. All are angled towards homeplate. Excellent sight lines for the game. As good as any I have seen. I have been to two of the other new BallParks (Baltimore & Pittsburgh). Sightlines are better than either of those parks
Vote ID : 379831 The closeness to the field, the dugout being along to border of the front row, and of course being able to watch the bullpen from the gates. I love when the players come out of the dugout and sit so the fans can see them. These reasons are why my friends and i have been to thirty or more home games, and we're only 16!

Vote ID : 379920 good view no matter where you sit. good sound system
Vote ID : 379922 Views (External and Internal)
Vote ID : 379923 I like the fact that you have sightlines to the field from almost all the way around the concourse, while you are in line for food etc. The exterior is attractive, especially the main entry with the commemorative bricks, statues, and the Hall Of Fame that will be near there. There is hardly a bad seat in the house. Good river views from the outfield.
Vote ID : 379927 The view of the river and Ky. The outfield seats in right field. The open area in left field which I understand will be the same in right fiels side.

Vote ID : 379941 Seats, cup holders, available to see everything

Vote ID : 380009 The recognition of Reds history; family-friendly environment
Vote ID : 380012 All seats are good and everyone is friendly
Vote ID : 380014 There is finally something to do in downtown Cincinnati. The downtown area is still pretty lame, in general. We need some urban planners that know what the heck a good time actually is to NORMAL, fun people!!!!

Vote ID : 380474 It's unique. Truly a one of a kind ballpark.
Vote ID : 380475 The fact that you're permitted to stand practically anywhere you like, without someone trying to run you off. Close second: That you can walk from one side to the other in just a few minutes (as opposed to Riverfront, where it always seemed to take forever). Also, the combo meals at the "grill" stands. If that steak-burger and fries doesn't fill you up, you've got an eating disorder. Best food value in the ballpark.
Vote ID : 380476 It's much more intimate, feels and looks like a ballpark.
Vote ID : 380477 The history that is incorporated.

Vote ID : 380599 I love "Rounding Third & Heading Home" on the outside of the park

Vote ID : 380602 The bleachers in right field.
Vote ID : 380609 smoke stacks and machine room
Vote ID : 380610 It has the atmosphere of an old style park.

Vote ID : 380625 clean... the river view
Vote ID : 380629 I turf is gorgeous as is the view from the 3rd-base stands.
Vote ID : 380632 It actually looks like a ballpark.
Vote ID : 380639 Open stadium, grass field, Power Stacks are really cool.
Vote ID : 380642 Certainly not the product on the field. If this ballpark is designed to produce more revenue to have a greater player payroll, then we are in for a bad next five to thirty years.
Vote ID : 380647 THings outside remembering the past teams and Joe's quote on the outside of the stadium
Vote ID : 380648 There was a lot to like. I like the design and the view the most though.

Vote ID : 380707 The view pf the river
Vote ID : 380708 The third base concourse - very nice!
Vote ID : 380713 It's a "Ballpark", not a "Stadium". I also like sitting in different areas and getting completely different views of the game. I like all of the TV's so you don't miss any action. And I like Marty and Joe in the bathroom...(I mean on the radio, that is.)
Vote ID : 380715 The centerfield entrance,and the machine room grill, the sun deck,the mist near the stacks on a hot day.

Vote ID : 380746 Being able to walk around the entire stadium and still having a view of the field.

Vote ID : 380815 The view of the river is fantastic and the ballpark is modern and classy.
Vote ID : 380817 It is a nice ball park - seating is very good

Vote ID : 380993 none

Vote ID : 381274 rightfield seats
Vote ID : 381275 I like the overall atmosphere of the ballpark. It gave me a feeling of being at a baseball game and that did not happen at Cinergy/Riverfront. I guess the playing surface and the fact that I was not in a cookie cutter park anymore made a difference.

Vote ID : 381306 Comfortable seats. That it is NOT Cinergy Field. That a noble effort has been made to connect the place to the rich Redlegs history. Best of all to me: Statue of Big Klu.

Vote ID : 381616 NOTHING

Vote ID : 381622 The ability to walk around. The ushers at riverfront did not allow that and that is one reason I stopped going to games.
Vote ID : 381629 The Sundeck/Moondeck seats - best seats in the house for the money. Main Scoreboard is O.K. Access to the ballpark is fine for me. I park up @ P&G on 6th street for $2.00. Easy to get in and easy to get out after a game. I also like the red seats.

Vote ID : 381668 The view of the river.
Vote ID : 381669 It's hard to judge a ballpark that is not complete, but from what I've seen, I appreciate the way the Reds have tried to connect their past to the present. Personally, I don't mind the fact that it's not one of the new "retro" parks. It has the echoes of both Crosley and Riverfront, the latter baseball-wise being the more significant of the stadia.
Vote ID : 381672 The closeness to the field. The openness of the park. The standing area in the smokestack area.

Vote ID : 381733 The location.
Vote ID : 381743 The atomosphere.
Vote ID : 381744 The fact that you can roam around more. Not like Cinergy where you could no go to the lower level withoutn a ticket. Though there is still plenty of class envy to go around (4192, riverfront clud, diamond club etc.)

Vote ID : 381790 I like the feel. It isn't the old sterile non discript look of the old Cinergy Field. The speakers actually work. There is an effort to entertain beyond the game itself.
Vote ID : 381793 The areas in the ballpark where you can stand and watch the game. The gap, centerfield, behind the bullpens, etc.
Vote ID : 381794 Machine Room and Food variances

Vote ID : 381800 History of team on lower level concourses: Enquirer replica banners, mosaics, Crosley terrace. Riew of the river. Good sight lines to field. Views into bullpens.
Vote ID : 381803 I enjoy the open views, the multiple different seating areas, and the open concourses. I think the opening up of the First base side will really make the concourses nice. The Stacks, and the big scoreboard are very cool. The thing that I like most is that it is definitely "Cincinnati" when you see it on TV.
Vote ID : 381810 I love all the different angels you can see the game from and the sites around the ballpark are really nice.
Vote ID : 381812 seating is good

Vote ID : 381880 It's nice having a ballpark dedicated to only baseball. The decorating, mosaics, and the entire atmosphere dedicated to the Reds is fantastic.
Vote ID : 381885 It's a new, clean well-run facility. The seats are very comfortable. The kielbasa is the best I've ever had. I'd order it eve if there wasn't a ball game going on.

Vote ID : 381998 The closeness to the field/action
Vote ID : 382011 I like the small and "homey" feel of the ballpark...the fact that the fans are close to the field and feel like they're a part of the action. I like the fact that it looks like a baseball park.
Vote ID : 382016 We purchased season tickets for our company as a way to help facilitate business and promote the area. It is a grat business experience provided the entertainment on the field does not continue to fail. The restaurant is superb.

Vote ID : 382059 Views of the river
Vote ID : 382060 view from the field level seats was unbelievable and incredibly good. I liked the spacious concourse, the numerous concession stands and the links to Crosley field through the lights, the decks over the bullpens, the statues and the general design of the park. The ushers were generally VERY helpful and friendly and helped me to enjoy the ballgames I attended.

Vote ID : 382898 The smaller more personal feel, you feel much closer to the field now. I appreciate more ladies restrooms, larger beer and food selections, cup holders, better seats and a more old time stadium atmosphere. I do like how the fireworks come out of the smokestack, but they are pretty tiny compared to the old ones.

Vote ID : 382986 The seating views are tremendous.

Vote ID : 383157 Compared to Cinergy, the venue is 100% better. However, the product on the field remains weak.
Vote ID : 383160 I think there's a fair amount of Cincinnati-oriented items in the ballpark and surrounding it, that other cities can't have.
Vote ID : 383164 view
Vote ID : 383171 It's not Cinergy Field.
Vote ID : 383181 The left field line concourse on the lower level is great, the only one like it in the major league parks (that I know of). Great atmosphere and spacious.
Vote ID : 383190 Great attmosphere.

28) What do you like least about the new ballpark?
Vote ID : 377865 The scoreboards along the 1st and 3rd base lines are entirely too small, with too much room devoted to ads. More of the banner needs to be devoted to the score/count.
Vote ID : 377872 No fireworks
Vote ID : 377876 what is not to like?
Vote ID : 377877 The view...it seems as if we have so much scenery to take advantage of: the river, downtown, suspensoin bridge...but we took advantage of absolutely none of those options. I would really have liked the stadium to: a)face the suspension bridge with a view of downtown beyond the outfield wall and b) be set closer to the river itself. Home runs into the river would have been exciting.
Vote ID : 377878 The outside is ver plain.
Vote ID : 377879 hard to navigate to your seat, somewhat confusing
Vote ID : 377881 To much of a red and white playground.
Vote ID : 377882 xx
Vote ID : 377884 hard to follow home runs on a sunny day against river.
Vote ID : 377885 Lack of color, no atmosphere, view of the river is dull. This team is a joke.
Vote ID : 377889 TERRIBLE OWNERSHIP!
Vote ID : 377891 Besides the team, the FOOD!! I thought it was awful that each concession has a snappy name making it unique but it's all the same stuff, for the most part that was at riverfront. Why not have a really diverse selection? Like San Fran or Chicago? I was extremely disappointed in this aspect.
Vote ID : 377894 Having to watch the current Reds team.
Vote ID : 377895 Generally, not asthetically pleasing either outside or inside. While attention has been paid to the Reds' rich baseball history, not all of the attempts were done effectively.
Vote ID : 377896 i like GBP, make no changes
Vote ID : 377897 Its all white. Why not some softer earthtones? Also the parking sucks, but should improve with the completion of the construction.
Vote ID : 377902 It's not as pretty as Paul Brown Stadium.
Vote ID : 377903 Get rid of that black box in the outfied. The batter's eye pavillion is an eyesore.
Vote ID : 377904 The minor league team that played there and it's frugal owner.
Vote ID : 377909 the smaller concousre on the 1st baseside.
Vote ID : 377910 beer men
Vote ID : 377913 Parking
Vote ID : 377916 Smoke stacks don't provide same awe compared to real fireworks. Seats are too narrow. 205 lb person doesn't have much room. The video board needs more excitement. Mr red race is an improvement but overall sound effects and video effects are lame. I would add some video clips from baseball movies or other funny shows.
Vote ID : 377918 the congestion you encounter getting out of the park after a game.
Vote ID : 377921 The baseball team that the owners have decided to allow to play there. They are horrible. Such a terrible effort/team after years of empty promises is a slap in the face to the naive Hamilton County taxpayers. Beer and ticket prices are way too high for the quality of the team on the field. Also put in some darn escalators already.
Vote ID : 377923 the smoke stacks for home runs and winning the game are ok but not loud enough--we need people outside the ballpark to hear and become more interested in going to the game
Vote ID : 377924 Crowded area on first base side.
Vote ID : 377930 No sense of history, everything is still made of cement, everything is gray. These were the things that were supposed to be goals, and were not implemented.
Vote ID : 377931 Architecture. I'd like more brick. And the interior metal foundation should be painted green. Don't really like the bleachers in left field either -- when they're empty, the cement is more prominent than the red seats and it looks ugly. Also, the view of the Ohio is less than spectacular. it's too bad the stadium isn't turned around for a view of the city skyline. and the Gap in the park is a novelty that has already worn off. WHat's the point?
Vote ID : 377934 Beer and soft drinks are too expensive.
Vote ID : 377936 Long wait at concessions
Vote ID : 377938 the outside architecture and the plainess of the stadium as a whole. it does not take advantage of the beautiful cincy skyline
Vote ID : 377939 I think that it was a sellout to make marketing dollars. Ithink the smokestacks are hokie at best. I liked it better when you could here the fireworks when a homerun was hit. Also, It stinks to sit in the outfield under the scoreboard. The aux. scoreboards don't give enough info, adn are very hard to see. The new mister Reds race is horrible, go back to the old race. Retro is in. Where is the Rose gareden that was ion the original plans. For how old a team we have the concourses really lack character, I see more cement than things I want to check out. I feel as if Reds management took a tour of all the parks, found good things about them all and tried to cram them into Great American. Didn't work. Further, the line ontop of the glass in the luxury seats really cuts off vision of the field between the pitchers mound and homeplate. Very annoying. The black box in the outfield is also an eyesore. Maybe next year there will be more fan friendly things at the park adn less corporate marketing. We are all very well aware now that the corporate dollars are not going to field a "competitive team". Most of all I don't like being lied to about 2003. My tax dollars went to a cement Paul Brown part Two.
Vote ID : 377942 I miss the real fireworks. That added so much to the experience. The little sparks they shoot out of the smokestacks are only a reminder of the big "chest-rattlers" from the old park.
Vote ID : 377943 The smokestacks. Take those god awful things away and bring back the BOOMING fireworks!
Vote ID : 377944 It's ridiculous to try to get out of after a game.I hope it's only because the lower concourse is not complete.I can't believe there is only the one main gate to get out of.
Vote ID : 377946 concession lines are very long...I have waited nearly 3 innings in line
Vote ID : 377948 It is facing the wrong direction, it should face the city. Gapper is a Montreal Expo mascot ripoff. Food prices are too high.
Vote ID : 377951 The equivalent of a Minor League team that plays in it now. Parking is also terrrible!
Vote ID : 377953 It has to many bells and whistles, to expensive. What was wrong with Riverfront?
Vote ID : 377954 it did not include the river into the design. it would have been a nice touch to have the outfield a little open or the stadium closer to the river to have some "splash" home runs. I don't like that the outfield doesn't "close" around the field. It gives the stadium...ballpark an odd feel. Too many advertisements. Looks like one big commercial.
Vote ID : 377955 Can't really think of anything that I don't like about it.
Vote ID : 377956 Aside from the team on the field, the seats are much smaller, or seem that way. I have some old seats from Riverfront on my porch and they are much more roomy and comforatble
Vote ID : 377958 Too small & chintzy
Vote ID : 377959 parking
Vote ID : 377962 Current lack of access and high admission charge. Absurd online service charges.
Vote ID : 377963 The fact that it is in Cincinnati and I live in PA! :)
Vote ID : 377964 the right side by the foul line, theres no room to walk
Vote ID : 377965 Does not have Cincinnati's great skyline in the outfield. The ballpark should have been located where P.B. Stadium is with a view of the skyline and the great Suspension Bridge in the background. A great opportunity missed which is what the Pirates captured with PNC Park.
Vote ID : 377966 Food prices.
Vote ID : 377968 there needs to be more color overall
Vote ID : 377969 no character, completely fabricated, no camden yards or coors field unique atmosphere.
Vote ID : 377971 outrageous food and drink prices
Vote ID : 377972 The team
Vote ID : 377974 The fact that the Lookouts/Bats are playing in it right now.
Vote ID : 377976 The fireworks!!!
Vote ID : 377977 Food and beverage prices are outrageous. Should also have more local items - Hudy, Graeter's, etc.
Vote ID : 377979 Discontinuing the $5 sections, even when the team was starting to decline w/ injuries and trades.
Vote ID : 377981 Concourses are way to narrow. Kiosks compound the problem. I regularly attend games at Miller Park. The Brewers got the concourses exactly right. The Reds didn't.
Vote ID : 377982 Reds fans
Vote ID : 377983 I still think that the ballpark has no character. The smokestacks are just plain stupid. Also, use the aux scoreboards for showing something other than huge ads. If those boards are 100 feet long, only 20 feet of it is used to actually show something baseball related, the rest is one big Great American Insurance or Pepsi ad.
Vote ID : 377984 Parking
Vote ID : 377999 high ticket prices
Vote ID : 378000 It is extremely plain on the inside of the park. There is nothing that really grabs your eye. I do like the scoreboard and am a fan of the smoke stacks but I do wish that there were more fireworks. I miss the aerial fireworks for homeruns and victories, as opposed to just a fizzle out of the smoke stacks.
Vote ID : 378002 concession prices
Vote ID : 378003 The seat costs are overwhelming, especially given the quality of the product on the field. The smokestacks could use some louder fireworks for those rare occasions when the Reds hit a homerun. The wait times in the concessions areas have been awful. It is strange to see some concession stands empty (think ice cream), while others have a 15 person deep line. Diversify those stands a bit!
Vote ID : 378004 Not enough concourse room down the first base line.
Vote ID : 378007 I dont like the full product that is being placed on the field. griffey is still the man!!!
Vote ID : 378008 Too much cutesy, family-friendly entertainment rather than just focusing on the ballgame. Not enough character -- you barely know it's the Reds' stadium (lack of signage, etc.).
Vote ID : 378013 nothing special at all, its just a "nice ballpark"
Vote ID : 378014 no fireworks. concession lines near 1st base side. sometimes atmosphere is ho-hum.
Vote ID : 378015 bleacher seats should be less expensive...smoke stack fireworks should make noise (e.g. booming fireworks)
Vote ID : 378020 Lack of room when concessions are busy.
Vote ID : 378022 too generic-we waited along tome and spent alot of money. i expected something a lot more distinctive
Vote ID : 378025 the ticket prices are higher than they were at riverfront/cinergy.
Vote ID : 378026 NOTHING REALLY.
Vote ID : 378031 Inconsistent escalator. Slow credit card processing.
Vote ID : 378033 the seating you cant see passed the person in front of you and the parking being 10.00 is to much and parking isnt very good
Vote ID : 378040 The team now on the field.
Vote ID : 378041 the team that plays there
Vote ID : 378048 The Batters Eye. Its a huge black box that is an eyesore and just another way for the Reds to try and a milk more money out of us. I would much rather had a garden type backdrop like Coors, Jacobs, or the Angels ballpark. I don't like the fact that the Longies clock is in fact a tacky Sofa Express clock. I thought the clock was suposed to look like the one in Crosley. I also don't like how comercial the park is. Ads are everywhere and just kinda ruin the place. The auxilary scoreboards being the worst.
Vote ID : 378049 access
Vote ID : 378050 1. Long waiting time at concession stands...I missed 2 innings waiting for food, lousy hotdogs and brats 2. Lack of variety of food; 4 stands in a row serve only hotdogs! 3. the smokestacks 4. the gap in the stadium seating 3rd base side
Vote ID : 378051 the scoreboards arenot in too good of view in the upper seats
Vote ID : 378052 the AA team that plays there
Vote ID : 378055 bottleneck exits
Vote ID : 378063 The scoreboard is nice in left field but if you sit in left field you can't see it. I wish they would have more MPH gages around the ballbark becuase if you are in left field you can't see how fast the pitches are.
Vote ID : 378065 Not enough history in the main ballpark. Where are the Championship banners and retired jersey's with names
Vote ID : 378067 The pitching staff ownership put on the field.
Vote ID : 378070 parking
Vote ID : 378073 The ushers who do not let you move up when only 20,000 people are at the game
Vote ID : 378076 I like the idea of the smokestacks, but not the way they've been implemented. They're kinda tacky.
Vote ID : 378082 the poor manner in which the team is being run
Vote ID : 378084 The product thats sent out on the field!
Vote ID : 378086 I'm a smoker ! What do you think ?
Vote ID : 378088 Poor use of side scoreboards. And the new Mr. Red race SUCKS!
Vote ID : 378094 HAS NO CHARACTER...TOO MANY KINDS OF LOOKS...IS IT RETRO? IS IT NEW?
Vote ID : 378100 As a season ticket holder with seats in the fifth row I find the seats are not tiered enough. I am 5'8" and have to strain to see around average to large people in the row in front of me. At $50 a seat that shouldn't be the case, in my opinion. Also, I would have liked to have seen the main scoreboard where the smokestacks are so everyone has a good view of it. My seats are on the third base line and I have to turn to see it. If I decide to get season tickets next year I will move to the first base side.
Vote ID : 378103 ty year
Vote ID : 378105 YOU CANNOT SEE THE THE BIG SCORE BOARD SETTING IN THE OUTFIELD.
Vote ID : 378107 Reds Sucked
Vote ID : 378111 The black batter's eye building is ugly and unappealing, the Smokestacks look hokey, fake. The smoke covers the field and ya can't even see the players for about an inning. Just get rid of them! There is no tradition or history to the park at all.You expect the first team in professional baseball would have a knockout park. I like the retro look of a park like cleveland and San Fransisco. You know thw large glove & bottle in San Fran, well how about a large pepsi bottle here??? The Reds parks is just to cost down looking...plain jane!. Smokers all over the open concourses 1st base side the worst! The bullpens, can't even look down into them without looking thru a gate unlike in Cleveland! Don't get me wrong I'm not a indians fan, but have been to the park many times.
Vote ID : 378112 The wait in concession lines. Need more vending stations for just drinks.
Vote ID : 378114 Ticket and food prices. The wraparound electronic billboard is a distraction. Smokestacks are cheesy looking. Quality of the hometeam on the field.
Vote ID : 378116 traffic jams. it is a joke, the worst in the majors.
Vote ID : 378117 The retired numbers. There needs to be last names and a more desirable location.
Vote ID : 378118 They need to put a major league team on the field and not a Double A team.
Vote ID : 378119 The losing. Its almost as if the Reds are not conditioned properly. They have had serious injuries the last three years. Its just not Ken Jr and Barry, its everybody. Batters Eye should be open for individuals when its not rented.
Vote ID : 378120 Saturday day games and the retired numbers
Vote ID : 378123 I just wish the ownership could care a little more and put more effort for the 2003 season promised. That would have capped off a great season at a new park.
Vote ID : 378125 the bland concrete everywhere, no colors to speak of, and it's a shame that the park wasn't closer to the river or the outfield having the downtown skyline in the background.
Vote ID : 378127 It looks too much like old Riverfront/Cinergy from the outside. It felt too much like a renovated home instead of a NEW ballpark.
Vote ID : 378128 SMOKESTACKS--KINDA CORNY
Vote ID : 378129 The "can't-make-up-my-mind" architecture
Vote ID : 378132 Size of seats Restroom lines Concession lines
Vote ID : 378135 The owner and the ty team he has placed on the field. Its a shame
Vote ID : 378137 Not enough history. Not enough that makes it Cincinnati other than the gap. Team needs to make the players more fan-friendly, sign more autographs, more up close and personal.
Vote ID : 378138 Prices are a little steep.
Vote ID : 378140 Parking and crossing several roads to get to stadium
Vote ID : 378141 lack of atmosphere around the outside of the ballpark (restaurants, bars, shops, etc) for before and after the game. Also, I wish that the stadium was open to the skyline of the city.
Vote ID : 378142 the narrowness of the concourse by firstbase
Vote ID : 378143 Inside the park there is no recognition of previous championship teams. Most of the fans can't see the retired numbers. At my seat I can't see down the left field line.
Vote ID : 378147 TIGHT SEATS AND AISLES
Vote ID : 378158 ticket prices
Vote ID : 378162 The bare concrete all over the inside. Get some color!
Vote ID : 378165 The home run smoke stacks are weak. the fireworks barge should be brought back.
Vote ID : 378166 The food and prices.
Vote ID : 378167 Center field-you have a large black hole in center field-I believe its a party room- the Jac in Cleveland you have trees and grass-even in Arizona it's center field is attractive-it's very boring to look straight to center almost every play and see a large black building-you would have been better off filling the area with seats or leaving it open to the river.
Vote ID : 378169 I feel bombarded by marketing every time I go to a game. It is gaudy. I recognize that the economics of a ball park have changed, but Great American has missed the mark with their mix of promotions and advertising. Gone are the days of hearing the noises of the game against the hum of the crowd.
Vote ID : 378172 the black building in center field
Vote ID : 378173 Parking
Vote ID : 378174 nothing!
Vote ID : 378175 Food prices are too high and when you are from out of town, it is hard to find a place to park!!
Vote ID : 378176 Tough for children to see in the seat with them so close.
Vote ID : 378182 The management
Vote ID : 378183 Way too many cheap materials used. Too much concrete. This stadium won't age as well as Riverfront. 10 years and it will look like a dump.
Vote ID : 378186 The team didn't compete.
Vote ID : 378187 Food Quality not that good, food prices high, Bad team
Vote ID : 378190 the inside looks no better than a barely souped up cinergy field. There are no aspects of the stadium that make it stand out. The river is not used at all.
Vote ID : 378191 The proximity to the Ft. Washington Way and the lack of space on each side of the stadium for a concourse. It felt like you were nearly in the street when walking around the stadium.
Vote ID : 378192 The smaller common area behind the first base side of the ballpark. The Sycamore St. "gap", which is prime seating area. No more fireworks for HR's & wins. Fewer entrances and longer lines to get in. Ushers should keep people from walking down the aisles when there is action happening on the field like they do at Bank One Ballpark in Phoenix. They should actually do more than wipe off seats trying to get tips. For the ticket prices we pay the seats should be clean and dry without a tip. Seats are too narrow. The population is getting bigger every day! Not good planning for the future.
Vote ID : 378194 Not sure ..... like just about all of it. Wish food prices were slightly cheaper.
Vote ID : 378195 It looks exactly like Pittsburghs new stadium. The knock about the stadiums from the early 70s is that they all looked alike, cookie cutters. All we did was change the shape of the cookie cutter. Also, the GAP is the DUMBEST idea I have ever heard of. Why waste space that could be used for great seats? Whats the big deal about seeing a small slice of the field from outside the stadium? I think the real design is to create a wind tunnel affect to produce more homers, which is not something our pitching staff needs any help with.
Vote ID : 378198 The black back drop in centerfield is not the prettiest decor I've ever seen.
Vote ID : 378199 The black back drop in centerfield is not the prettiest decor I've ever seen.
Vote ID : 378201 it's borrrrring
Vote ID : 378202 There is nothing in the park that stands out as unique - (smoke stacks, wow big deal) Milwaukee, detroit, etc. these new parks have things in them that only they have.
Vote ID : 378205 Still needs firewords
Vote ID : 378206 There isn't anything that stands out such as the Green Monster in Boston, the Ivy in Wrigley, the monuments in Yankee stadium. It is very plain, I think they could have given it a touch of originality something it had that other parks don't or something that shows cincinnati's rich past in baseball. And the diamond seats are way over priced.
Vote ID : 378209 too cramped to get concessions. The lines stretch back into the seats. Bad design there. Also, I don't like the ushers stopping you from moving to an empty seat. Cincinnati has always done this and most other parks do not.
Vote ID : 378210 Only one escalator up to the view level.
Vote ID : 378211 poor quality of players
Vote ID : 378213 The STUPID GAP. The best seats in baseball are from first base to third base, their the highest priced and therefore 'the best'. What do we have in Cincinnati on the third base side - A BIG HOLE!!!!! What's so special about that.
Vote ID : 378214 smoke stacks are lamer than the team and thats pretty lame. makes a great double a ballpark to bad were supposed to be a major league team.
Vote ID : 378218 The Food prices are outrageous 2.50 to 3.00 for a Mini Goldstar chili dog, that cost .99 at any goldstar outlet
Vote ID : 378219 The field level seats are angled in a strange way, and the sight lines on that level are not good. I also hate the exposed concrete, and white steel. A good coat of green on that concrete would really make the place feel more "real". If they would have painted that steel a different color, like black, it would give it a more classic feel. I also think Gapper is an absolute abomination. What's wrong with Mr Red? Are you telling me he can't do the job on his own? And that Pepsi power pack or whatever they're called annoy more than anything.
Vote ID : 378220 the product that plays in it
Vote ID : 378227 You are trying to sell a very bad product in a nice place. Most people don't believe the messenger anymore. You will have to prove your goodwill toward the fan by acquiring a#1 & #2 starter, and some key relief help 2 lefties and 1 righthander or I won't come to GABP.
Vote ID : 378228 The ushers are not welcoming. Based upon the prices people pay for tickets, the customers should be treated very well and professionally.
Vote ID : 378230 The team they put out there.
Vote ID : 378232 All the advertisment, I know that it is needed to make money, but I feel like it is the pepsi, or skyline everything.
Vote ID : 378234 Ease of getting to the upper decks
Vote ID : 378237 parking
Vote ID : 378242 nothing. its all nice
Vote ID : 378245 The team left on the field at the year's end. (I don't mean to take away from their heart, only their talent). It was so bad I cancelled a trip because it just wasn't worth the effort.
Vote ID : 378254 food is too expensive
Vote ID : 378255 food is too expensive

Vote ID : 378257 Cost to go. For my family to go it's over $100.00! Can't afford it!
Vote ID : 378258 As of right now, there's too much concrete showing. One place is the area below the American flag. It looks like it is still under construction.
Vote ID : 378259 Great American Ballpark Sign & Smoke Stacks
Vote ID : 378262 I live too far away to go to the stadium much. Nashville TN.
Vote ID : 378263 The gift shop areas are too small - you have to wait in line during busy times to just get in the door.
Vote ID : 378265 the wall in right is too high
Vote ID : 378266 I don't like the prices for AAAA ballplayers. I don't like the concourse on the 1st base side, too narrow. I think you should be able to build something for $280 million that would stand as a palace for atleast 50 years. I don't like the red color for the seats, should be green. The concrete makes it look plain, I wouldn't have that much exposed concrete look. I liked the old fireworks.
Vote ID : 378270 The auxiliary scoreboards are pathetic ... the ones in the old place weren't nearly as capable, yet they were much more useful for following the game.
Vote ID : 378271 Should have incorporated the river better. We could have had our own version of McCovey Cove....maybe a Kluzewski reference somewhere? The Reds blew it there.
Vote ID : 378274 The team that plays in it.
Vote ID : 378277 The team playing on the field, and the aux scoreboards
Vote ID : 378278 John Allen and the park has no AURA to it all all, like Riverfront did!
Vote ID : 378282 Gapper
Vote ID : 378283 A minor league team with major league prices.
Vote ID : 378284 Prices
Vote ID : 378287 Parking problem is the reason I won't be back after almost 50 years
Vote ID : 378291 ticket prices
Vote ID : 378293 A little too contrived and glitzy.
Vote ID : 378296 The team we put on the field after All Star break.
Vote ID : 378297 All the seats are red. Everywhere I go I feel like I'm in the Riverfront Stadium cheap seats, and there's nothing special about that.
Vote ID : 378298 the mascots and kiddy things, we need to make it a little more tougher.
Vote ID : 378300 need a team for this ball park
Vote ID : 378304 You really should light up the retired numbers at night. It's so dark and gloomy in the area behind homeplate.
Vote ID : 378309 Seats down the 3rd base line could not see the main scoreboard.
Vote ID : 378312 The scoreboard view when you are in the LEFT outfield seats, there should be more constant updates and news going, so that people in all parts of the parks can see what is going on in other stadiums and should have the same access to the trivia that the people who pay to sit in front of the scoreboard have!
Vote ID : 378313 Tight seating and not elavated enough.
Vote ID : 378314 The prices of food and drinks, the way you have to turn to see the scoreboard if you are sitting on the 3rd base side. Parking, the seats in the upper deck are to cramp
Vote ID : 378319 The Reds got traded. Oh, and Uncle Carl and Czar Allen slapped the fans in the face with a modest payroll and T-Ball pitching. It was upposed to be: If we payed for it, it (winner) would come. Instead, we were robbed. Yeah, I'll be at a lot of games next year!
Vote ID : 378320 I DISLIKE THE LONG HIKE TO YOUR SEATS. MANY TIMES THE ELEVATORS ARE NOT WORKING OR CAN'T BE LOCATED EASILY. I ALSO DISLIKE THE PARKING AND THE WAY THE GARAGES HIKE UP THE PRICES THIS YEAR. IT WAS VERY EXPENSE JUST TO PARK AND GET IN THE GATE, NOT TO MENTION IF YOU WANTED TO BUY A DRINK OR SNACKS. A BOTTLE OF WATER $3.00, LETS GET REAL. MAKE THE PRICE AFFORDABLE TO THE AVERAGE WORKING CLASS PEOPLE.
Vote ID : 378321 How can the ballpark charge major league prices for a minor league product?
Vote ID : 378323 Lack of aisle space on 1st base side of stadium. Waiting in line to leave the stadium.
Vote ID : 378325 prices!
Vote ID : 378326 The gap...Why is that necessary?
Vote ID : 378328 parking
Vote ID : 378330 TICKET PRICES
Vote ID : 378336 Not good enough
Vote ID : 378337 Seats too narrow for big folks
Vote ID : 378338 THE PRODUCT ON THE FIELD1.
Vote ID : 378339 THE PRODUCT ON THE FIELD1.
Vote ID : 378341 Batters eye and the center field concourse is ugly.
Vote ID : 378343 That UGLY "batter's eye" in center field - that black monstrosity looks out of place because it is angled. It looks like an afterthought. I think it ruins the look of the outfield.
Vote ID : 378344 As a downtown resident (4th St) I miss the fireworks after a home run or victory. No matter wheither you are eating, taking a walk or hanging out in your home when you heard the fireworks you new something positve was happening at the stadium.
Vote ID : 378345 Retired numbers should be displayed differently
Vote ID : 378347 Long concession lines
Vote ID : 378348 The way the team is being ran by Carl Lindner and John Allen. I don't go to the games to see the ballpark, I go to see the team, and it's been BEYOND DISAPPOINTING this year. I'd have to say in my lifetime (I'm 41 and have been a fan since I was 3) this is the WORST season EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll go to see games because I'm a baseball fan and I enjoy my summers that way, but I have gone to less games this year than in the past, and if it doesn't get any better next year, I'll be going to less games from now on.
Vote ID : 378353 Lack of Reds History
Vote ID : 378356 Hokey attempts at entertainment between innings.
Vote ID : 378358 I don't like the fact there are no real fireworks after homeruns or wins. The smokestacks are weak.
Vote ID : 378359 There is no continuity or real creativity to its design.
Vote ID : 378360 The Reds terrible roster. The fireworks for the homeruns. Always liked when I was downtown and could here the booms from when homeruns are hit.
Vote ID : 378361 The main scoreboard is not visible from several parts in the stadium. This makes a game a lot less entertaining. They should improve their auxilliary scoreboards and let them show more details about the game. Now, it only shows the score and a lot of advertisment. That really is a shame!
Vote ID : 378362 seating
Vote ID : 378364 It's an architectural hodge podge. Compared to the other new parks I've been to (Pac Bell, Camden...)it pales in comparison. It is cartoonish and will grow stale quickly. It doesn't have the stately historical feel that will allow it to stand the test of time. All in all it's terribly disappointing because of the opportunity that was missed. There are very few hanging breaking balls in a game and when you dribble a ground ball to first for the final out rather than driving in the game winning run it's always looked at with regret. It's just not a classic.
Vote ID : 378365 the team playing in it
Vote ID : 378370 I hate it how everything is in your face. Like kiss cam, ask the fan etc. Everything has a sponsor like clocks or scoreboards or smokestacks. You can't sit back and enjoy a game like you could at Riverfront
Vote ID : 378371 The Team you put on the field!!
Vote ID : 378374 NA
Vote ID : 378375 The centerfield eye section. The black box looks horrable
Vote ID : 378376 Not nearly enough concourse area to walk around the entire park. Turner Field in Atlanta has every park beat as far as general walk around area. The new Tiger Stadium with the concourse in the middle is also nice. Loves Seattle's bullpen area too.
Vote ID : 378377 The rediculously high prices of beer.
Vote ID : 378378 aux scoreboards hard to read - too narrow
Vote ID : 378379 The smoke stacks are cheesy and take away from the overall beauty of the stadium
Vote ID : 378383 High price of parking
Vote ID : 378384 Value for the money both on the field and off
Vote ID : 378386 The prices; the stupid crap that goes on between innings (Kiss Cam, Flex Cam, those annoying people with the microphones wandering through the crowd; the auxiliary scoreboards offer too much advertising and not enough game information
Vote ID : 378387 Obviously, the parking is an issue. However, I believe that really is out of the Reds' hands.
Vote ID : 378388 Ushers
Vote ID : 378391 parking, leg room in the seating, volumn too loud on speakers
Vote ID : 378392 If you set in left field you can't see the batters battting average, what he has done so far in the game.
Vote ID : 378395 if you're sitting in the outfield and facing the infield,.....there is no mention on any of the auxilary scoreboards who is batting and their stats,......I thought that was very badly done,..who could of forgotten that?
Vote ID : 378396 Food variety. Need more healthy food choices and upscale choices for those not seated in club or diamond seats.
Vote ID : 378398 Missing Reds BP, Smoking areas right behind my section. Have to go through a wall of smokers to get to consessions, restrooms. Right field concourse is too crowded compared to Left. When consessions are busy, you can't get anywhere.
Vote ID : 378401 Needs more entrances
Vote ID : 378402 THE TEAM
Vote ID : 378408 the losing club
Vote ID : 378412 It should have been more retro, it just looks like a mini Riverfront, oh sorry Cinergy. The street next to the park should be closed after games and the sidewalk is very narrow leaving the park.
Vote ID : 378414 no distinction at all. might as well kept cinergy.
Vote ID : 378415 the team that plays there
Vote ID : 378418 Prices(food)
Vote ID : 378420 The bare concrete behind the retired numbers, behind home plate. It has the Mike Brown NO COLOR look. NASTY!!!
Vote ID : 378422 The upper levels (sections 400 - 500) on the third base side are angled in toward home plate, but away from the scoreboard and the seat to the left. Also, they are smaller with less leg room.
Vote ID : 378423 THE TEAM !!!
Vote ID : 378426 Team put on the field is minor league at best.I can go to the Dayton dragons game to see inferor talent.
Vote ID : 378427 sorry ass team playing in it!
Vote ID : 378429 It does not distinguish itself from Cinergy enough.
Vote ID : 378432 Seating feels cramped, Gapper simply makes no sense, black (batters eye) structure in center field takes away from the look of the park.
Vote ID : 378435 PARKING!!!! The signage indicating entrances and possible parking are difficult to find, if non-existant. Also, you need more runners/servers in the club level for seat-side service. There was one girl working two sections, and the only way you could order from her was to actually walk up the stairs, wait in line behind everyone else who was waiting, and do it that way. I may as well just go to a concession stand for that!
Vote ID : 378436 No being able to see a score board in certain seats
Vote ID : 378437 -
Vote ID : 378438 The fireworks used to be loud booms you could hear in the ballpark, downtown, or even in Kentucky. They let you know the Reds had won or done soemthing good. Now they don't even make a sound, you miss them if you turn your head.
Vote ID : 378439 Food Prices
Vote ID : 378440 The concourse on the 1st base side is a bit narrow. People waiting on concessions block the walking area. hard to get around.
Vote ID : 378441 the leg room is still small
Vote ID : 378444 The team!!! Also, no view of city and few views of the river. There is nothing spectacular about this park. PNC blows it away.
Vote ID : 378445 The atomosphere is geared toward a mainly white population. I would like to see a more diverse atomosphere...for example I can't relate to the music.
Vote ID : 378447 Plain. Blah. Nothing to set it apart from any other ballpark, and certainly far more ordinary than any of the new parks.
Vote ID : 378452 The seats are a little small for big people
Vote ID : 378453 It has too many themes (looks like a lot of ideas roled into a single ball park)
Vote ID : 378454 The small seats in the upper deck
Vote ID : 378457 The way the retired numbers are displayed. They need more prominence.
Vote ID : 378458 not innovative enough, food prices
Vote ID : 378459 The batters eye, it seems like they could have done more with centerfield. The seats are somewhat crammed next to each other.
Vote ID : 378460 The design!
Vote ID : 378461 The team is pathetic from top to bottom.
Vote ID : 378462 The price of beer.
Vote ID : 378464 Long lines for concessions at times, little local flavor in regards to food, cheesy between inning entertainment.
Vote ID : 378465 smoke stacks
Vote ID : 378468 The home run fireworks no longer make noise.
Vote ID : 378471 Concession stand lines. Also, the seats are a little closer together in the lower levels than they were at Riverfront.
Vote ID : 378472 Prices
Vote ID : 378475 Prices
Vote ID : 378477 Parking, unopened concession stands in upper deck near our seats, food prices way too high.
Vote ID : 378478 that mangaement comes to the games and prtrays there fan friendly
Vote ID : 378480 The seats are too close to each other. I was 20 rows behind home place in what I thought were nice seats. I got hit in the head everytime the kids left their seats behind me because they decided they needed to go run down the aisle. Also, the vendors constantly were patrolling the aisle and I couldn't see through them to see the game for the most part.
Vote ID : 378481 Too much white steel. I think a more natural color for the exterior steel would make it feel warmer and more inviting.
Vote ID : 378482 Consession stand waiting time are terrible. I admire the Reds for allowing nonprofit organizationto come in a work the booths, but they must be better trained or more efficient. It's no fun to miss two or three innings because someone can't figure out how to run a credit card through. Also a more competetive team would be nice...
Vote ID : 378483 It takes too long to get an ice cream at Davey's cones. It takes at least 1/2 hour..and that is unacceptable. There needs to be more stands that sell the ice cream..especially on the upper deck.
Vote ID : 378485 Food prices
Vote ID : 378489 The prices - just too ridiculous to bring the family to. Especially with the poor quality of baseball, lowering the prices I believe would bring in more people/families just looking for something fun to do. And we would actually eat there if it wasn't insanely priced as well.
Vote ID : 378491 The parking
Vote ID : 378496 No view of river from lower level. Looks too much like old riverfront from concourse and upper deck. Too many styles that don't blend together, no consistent architectural theme.
Vote ID : 378497 Parking
Vote ID : 378499 smokestacks
Vote ID : 378500 High prices
Vote ID : 378501 triple a team that now plays there.
Vote ID : 378503 The scoreboard cannot be seen from too many areas of the park: Left Field on both sides of the foul pole. If the auxilary scoreboards could show more of what's going on in the game, this wouldn't be so annoying. I went to Coors Field this year and found it to be far more fan-friendly.
Vote ID : 378505 The prices. The product on the field.
Vote ID : 378506 Concession lines on the first base side are awful - this NEEDS to be fixed.
Vote ID : 378507 There is no major scoreboard for fans in left field.
Vote ID : 378508 Parking
Vote ID : 378512 The concession prices are outrageous. The argument that they are the cheapest prices in Major League Baseball still doesn't make it right.
Vote ID : 378513 It seems lifeless, but maybe that is a reflection of Cincinnati fans. I grew up in Wilmington and now live 250 miles away. I still make it to 5-10 games a year and shelled out $150 for opening day this year. I am always disappointed with the effort Cincinnati fans put into to this team, even when they are good. It seems they are not happy unless they are complaining. Then again, maybe Cincinnati fans are merely a reflection of the conflict driven Sports Talk Radio scene in Cincinnati. So to make a long story short, the fans.
Vote ID : 378514 the architecture..*it looks like 5 differnet architects were hired to design 5 different areas and then they were just shoved together
Vote ID : 378518 The excessive cost to view an inferior product. The Sportservice is inefficient and understaffed. The cost of a nachos and beer pay for one man hour. It is not unusual to have to wait 25 minutes to get something to eat. The cheese coney line in right field is unbelievably long. The promotions in between innings on the big screen are anoying.
Vote ID : 378521 spread out the beer selections. many times too far to walk to get a favorite brand. a stupid part of contract. too crowded in concourse behind first.
Vote ID : 378522 spread out the beer selections. many times too far to walk to get a favorite brand. a stupid part of contract. too crowded in concourse behind first.
Vote ID : 378523 We had a terrible time finding a place to park, especially for the day game.
Vote ID : 378525 the concession lines make it hard to get to your seat down the first base side.
Vote ID : 378527 Access to the upper decks. It's not easy to figure out how to get up there. Also--they close down too many concession stands which makes the lines longer for the ones that are open.
Vote ID : 378532 The cost of everything and the sub par product on the field.
Vote ID : 378535 The long scoreboards running the streaming colors should be used for something else, like scores, etc. If you're sitting in the outfield, you can't see a viable scoreboard without turning completely around. Lose the wild colors and use it for balls/strikes, outs and batter info...
Vote ID : 378538 Lack of a Major League Team.
Vote ID : 378539 1) No shade in many areas, especially the upper deck. It would be nice if the canopy was extended over more of the upper deck. 2) Seats are too narrow, even for the average size person.
Vote ID : 378548 the team
Vote ID : 378549 The concession workers in the club seat section do not speak English... they can't understand you and you can't understand them
Vote ID : 378550 It could have been better.
Vote ID : 378551 The prices inside the stadium.
Vote ID : 378552 The Batter's Eye should be removed or repainted Red. It is a unique feature to GABP for a reason. It is ugly and ruins the overall appearance of the park. Replace it with an expanded area to loiter between innings. Also, the fence in area near the Batter's Eye should be dropped to waist level.
Vote ID : 378553 Prices.
Vote ID : 378558 The product on the field.
Vote ID : 378559 Gapper
Vote ID : 378560 Ohio river views not incorporated
Vote ID : 378561 It's not new, but the stupid minor-league stuff between innings. The pepsi guys, taco bell thing, real annoying trivia guy; it's pretty bad.
Vote ID : 378565 it replaced a perfectly functional facility
Vote ID : 378567 team on field...feel that reds management lied to the fans when they promised to put a competitive team on field...if they spend money they will make money
Vote ID : 378568 The team that they put in it for most of the season.
Vote ID : 378569 The weak homerun fireworks.
Vote ID : 378571 The smell---it eminates from our so called 'competitive' ball club.
Vote ID : 378572 The TEAM!
Vote ID : 378573 The Reds play there.
Vote ID : 378574 Concourses are too narrow - too crowded.
Vote ID : 378575 NOTHING
Vote ID : 378577 I think the Reds tried to go a little too far with the Cincinnati theming when they installed the smokestacks. They obstruct seating views and don't do anything overly exciting which makes them a "must have" during any other times of the games.
Vote ID : 378578 Compared to PBS, its not as great for its sport. The seats have no rise. The concessions and restrooms are awful (Cingergy was better). The ball flies out like crazy. Its just a bad place.
Vote ID : 378579 The product that is put on the field. Injuries can't be helped, and some trades were needed for pitching, but money must be spent to fill holes at short, third and reliable bench players.
Vote ID : 378582 the team that plays in it.
Vote ID : 378584 management trading all of our players when we're only 8 or 9 games out of first place in the middle of the season.
Vote ID : 378585 Some of the seats are tight as far as width, more cramped that I thought they'd be.
Vote ID : 378586 The batter's eye looks like a chicken coop.
Vote ID : 378591 Some lines are way to long.
Vote ID : 378592 The fact that the average fan can not afford box seats behind the plate.
Vote ID : 378599 the style -- there isn't any! They did the stadium on the cheap, just like I knew they would. This is not a stadium that draws you back after 1-2 visits.
Vote ID : 378600 Location stinks! People go to the game and leave in their cars. Other stadiums have revived sections of the city where the ballpark is built. Ours is built on a cement slab between a river some highways! NO CHARACTER!!!
Vote ID : 378602 Marty deserves "And this one belongs to the Reds" to be posted on the stadium just like Joe's "Rounding third and heading for home" is. The thought that fans interpret that as meaning the Reds own the stadium and not the city is ridiculous! He's a hall of fame announcer and all the fans know that is his tag line and his alone. Give him his well deserved respect. He has certainly earned it.
Vote ID : 378603 The cramped first base concourse, construction zones
Vote ID : 378606 Scoreboard views. You can't see the main scoreboard very well fromt 3rd base side. And the other scoreboard(s) are too small
Vote ID : 378607 nothing
Vote ID : 378612 Increased Ticket Prices, and the value for them. Some of the highest priced seats offer poorer views than cheaper seats, regardless of admission to the special clubs (4192, etc.). Perhaps its rare, but I don't intend to watch the game in a club room when I paid for a seat.
Vote ID : 378617 food prices aren't so good.
Vote ID : 378619 The team playing on the field.
Vote ID : 378620 the product on the field and the front office
Vote ID : 378622 batters eye, but I guess there is only so much that can be done with that!?!
Vote ID : 378625 It seems a little bland, besides the smoke stacks and red seats theres not much there that stands out. This is a shame for a team with such a history as the Reds.
Vote ID : 378627 Besides the play, they could do alot more to spotlight the history of the team. Once inside the ballpark, you'd never know what city you were in.
Vote ID : 378628 It's a long way from parking to the stadium. I'm OK with it but I've had to stop taking seniors and small kids because its too long of a walk.
Vote ID : 378631 The poor team management is putting on the field.
Vote ID : 378632 cinergy field was better. players being traded this year.
Vote ID : 378633 Stadium feels compact, not like a major league professional sports type of venue.
Vote ID : 378634 smokestacks
Vote ID : 378636 No personality.
Vote ID : 378641 From the upper deck grandstand down the left field line, it was impossible to see parts of the left-field scoreboard. This is the only place to see the pitch counts and radar gun information.
Vote ID : 378643 Access to the park totally sucks.....hence the wedge. River to the south, six lanes of concrete to the north, a arena standing 30'to the east [such a beautiful sight] and a Freedom Center [or better known as the new White Elephant] to the west. Give me Coors Field, Jacob's Field etc. Now that's access.
Vote ID : 378644 corporate. too disjointed.
Vote ID : 378647 entertainment between innings
Vote ID : 378650 The black box in Center Field. A real eye soar.
Vote ID : 378651 It faces Kentucky!
Vote ID : 378653 Parking so far away for non season ticket holders
Vote ID : 378654 The batter's eye is poorly designed and the smokestacks looks stupid standing alone as they do. Instead of just smokestacks why not build a riverboat facade with seating/restaurant integrated into it?
Vote ID : 378657 i dont like how the connession stands are set up on the first base side, there is no room to walk when it is crowed because the lines go all the way back to the seats, its pretty annyoing.
Vote ID : 378658 The management of the team that insists on fielding a minor league team with a few players past their prime and no pitching
Vote ID : 378661 The smokestacks number one. If you sit on the right field side of them, they block any kind of view of the scoreboard. They look very cheap, and the fireworks don't shoot nearly high enough. The final thing is the interior decoration....way too much white.
Vote ID : 378662 Concourses are too narrow - too crowded.
Vote ID : 378663 no "Big Red Machine" and the terrible Pepsi logos on the smokestacks
Vote ID : 378665 The lines when the park is nearly full
Vote ID : 378666 it has no character - it looks like plastic
Vote ID : 378668 the eyes on the smoke stacks freak me out - give me nightmares!!
Vote ID : 378669 Scoreboard was not working for one game and part of another game. I was sold a view obstructed seat for one of my games in the upper deck behind home plate. At 3 of the 6 games I attended there was no cupholder in front of my seat.
Vote ID : 378670 The concession concourse on the first base side. Too narrow.
Vote ID : 378671 I was hoping for the charm of Jacobs field or Camden Yards but we didn't get that. I also hate the way the stadium is wedges so close to the coliseum.
Vote ID : 378673 Seating. It is too cramped. The seats are not wide enough and there is not enough leg room in the front. From my seats down the third base line I can not see all of the scores on the left field fence (you would have thought they would have at least put the National League scores in center where they could be seen by more people). I have to turn to see the left most part of the big scorboard which is difficult to read because of the foul pole. In the original assignment of seats we had 4 seats in Cinergy a couple of rows apart and we wanted them together at GABP. We were assured that with late '70 seniortity this would be no proble. Well, we are farther apart now than last year and were told "The seats have been assigned we can't do anything about it now." They won't have to worry about them next year.

Vote ID : 378675 Wait times for food, there were times when I waited nearly 2 innings to get food and get back to my seat.
Vote ID : 378677 The Reds terrible finish!
Vote ID : 378679 The black outfield restaurant, the smokestacks and the interior resemblence to Cinergy Field
Vote ID : 378680 Smoke stacks block the view of the river and the fireworks are boring. The beer is too expensive too.
Vote ID : 378681 The smoke stacks are a BIG DUD! Please bring back the good fireworks we had at Riverfront/cinergy. Maybe Kroger will pay for them.
Vote ID : 378683 The fact that it's not finished. I hope when the first base side is expanded, the consessions will work as well as those on the third base side. Walking through that area is nearly impossible. Waiting in those lines are downright painful.
Vote ID : 378685 The prices for beer and food!
Vote ID : 378686 The Gap (unnecessary, doesn't add any appeal and you lose good seats) Batter's Eye (ugly - looks like an old green shed) - need something architecturally appealing there (note: Pac Bell in SF; Arlington, TX)
Vote ID : 378687 Section 434 - Seats 11 & 12 - Row E Seats are always dirty. DO NOT like the fact people throw items (peanuts & beer) over the railings. Then, you waste your time looking for security/usher ... which by that point ... the person has taken off. Also, people should sit in their paid seats and not be allowed to move into the higher paid season ticketholder seats. Scoreboards tend to go off-line quite often. Approxiately, 6 games so far this season out of 12 attended. Not too good of a record, if you ask me. At our seating location, we cannot see when a ball is hit down the right-field line.
Vote ID : 378688 It's not facing the downtown skyline like Jacobs Field in Cleveland.
Vote ID : 378690 The ticket prices
Vote ID : 378693 The batter's eye is UGLY! The team was poor and the management doesn't give any hope for a better team next year.
Vote ID : 378696 I cant think of anything i dont like about it!!
Vote ID : 378697 the last game we went to was a spur of the moment thing. we had no tickets so we were forced to stand in line which took 45 minutes or more (a sat nite affair against the cardinals). i would recommend placing seating charts where fans can see where they may like to sit prior to getting to the ticket window. speed of employees could be better. we ended up in section 509 (i think) last section down left field line. i hated the fact that there was no scoreboard along the first base side of the field that show who the batter, his stats, etc. with the current team, i didnt know half of the guys who came to the plate, unless you happened to catch the announcement as they came to the plate. we could NOT see any of the main scoreboard. balls, strikes, outs, inning, score isn't enough info on the auxillary scoreboards.
Vote ID : 378698 The team they put in it. Who will come to the ballpark when management doesn't care about having a winning team? Also, not having the park nearer to the river was abig mistake.
Vote ID : 378699 The sideways seats. If you are large, you even have less room than before
Vote ID : 378700 Not the skyline angle I would have gone for.
Vote ID : 378701 Parking accomodations could be improved.
Vote ID : 378702 The scoreboards down the 1st and 3rd baseline are terrible. I'm 42 and I can barely read the balls, strikes and outs on these scoreboards. They're more concerned with running advertising than the fans. Also, I've found the seats to be a source of pain. If someone is sitting next to you and they get up, the seat snaps back up very quickly. If you're not paying attention the seat will hit you in the elbow and it hurts. You know what I'm talking about. If you've been to a game this year I'll bet it happen to you at least once.
Vote ID : 378704 They do not have the same fireworks as at Cinergy Field. Those fireworks was a tradition that we had.
Vote ID : 378705 it is extremely crowded on the main level 1st base side due to concession lines
Vote ID : 378706 The seating wasn't very well thought of. If you sit on either the first or third base line you can't see the corners closest to you (ie. sitting down the 3rd base line you can't see the left field corner of the field). Also there is no longer a "big red smokey commercial".
Vote ID : 378708 From the LF corner & 3rd base side seats the view of the scoreboard is dismal. A walkway over the streets from the downtown side needs to be considered. Some people are too anxious to get across the street for their own good, some have indulged themselves a bit too much while at the game, some motorists don't like having to keep waiting while throngs pass in front and around them. It's a recipe for a disaster - and a lawsuit (or six).
Vote ID : 378709 Cost of food and beverages.
Vote ID : 378710 The "money seeking" private box that is wedged into the "gap." Playgroundish river boat motif and feel.
Vote ID : 378711 The park is, as of this writing, incomplete. The west side is still a construction site, and that detracts from the park's appearance. Also, the fact that the west concourse is not finished results in lack of room to for fans to move about behind first base and the overcrowding of the concourse area.
Vote ID : 378712 (1) The product on the field is a joke. (2) From the upper deck - the view of the river is bad at best. Although the Reds have no direct control over this, something should be done (recommended to be done) with the landscaping/look of the Licking River flowing into the Ohio River.
Vote ID : 378715 The fact that the REds are now a damn minor league team!!!!!!!
Vote ID : 378717 I don't think the ushers do a good job about keeping people in their right seats. Every game people show up and either are sitting in our seats or in rows near us and when people ask for their tickets they just get up and find somewhere else nearby to sit. I can guarantte they bought top six and then just come out their to sit. I don't mind them coming down in the later innings when you know no one is sitting in certain seats, but the ushers need to start checking tickets more. It's not fair to us who pay $15 a seat and then have all these people with $6 sitting in your seats.
Vote ID : 378718 -
Vote ID : 378719 the team.....I would rather see the Kroger fireworks than those smoking smoke stacks....I think the players, umpires hate those things.
Vote ID : 378720 Lack of reasonably priced parking nearby.
Vote ID : 378722 The food prices and wait times.
Vote ID : 378726 The team
Vote ID : 378728 the team that was on the field.
Vote ID : 378729 The "gap" is a joke. It provides very little to the overall design. I was hoping to see a more "traditional" park, but the Bengals got the majority of the money for their stadium, even though fans in Cincy care more about the Reds.
Vote ID : 378732 Concession lines have not improved a great deal. The 1st base concourse is way too tight.
Vote ID : 378733 The gapper.
Vote ID : 378736 Please Mr. Linder get us a real baseball team
Vote ID : 378737 Food prices (especially beer) and, at times, the wait in line for food.
Vote ID : 378738 payroll
Vote ID : 378739 There is not one single thing about the park that I can tell someone from out of town that they have to go there to see it.
Vote ID : 378741 The product on the field.
Vote ID : 378743 The smoke stacks, it looks like a bug! I miss the cannons going off during home runs. For the money that was spent we should have gotten a park like Pac Bell or Coors Field. There is nothing in the outfield to look at ascetically. The outfield is boring as the team put on it!!
Vote ID : 378744 it's just not that interesting, nothing stand out
Vote ID : 378745 Sight lines are not that much better than Riverfront. Too many electronic gadgets and annoying sounds and visuals. Information like hits, runs, errors, outs and count are seemingly an afterthought on auxilliary scoreboards (ad boards).
Vote ID : 378746 Warm beer for $5.75 each. Uncertain team payroll for next year.
Vote ID : 378747 Food\beverage prices still too high. It is some consolation that prices are likely lower than many other parks but if prices were about half of what they are they would probably sell ten times the product. The Pepsi and hot dog for $1 each days seemed like a good idea. All most everyone I know(and I know MANY fellow Reds fans) stop by Taco Bell or Wendys on the way down and fill up before they go down to Great American. Also I was a Saturday season ticket holder for the last three years at Riverfront Stadium\Cinergy Feild and planned on continuing the new tradition but with the absence of the Saturday only package could not afford the other "package deals"; so my wife and family just go down when we get a chance.
Vote ID : 378749 Everyone comes in the same gate area - way too crowded.
Vote ID : 378750 weak fireworks
Vote ID : 378751 The batter's eye in center field is ugly. I know there are a certain amount of rules and regulations to follow, but other parks I've been to have been more creative in making the area more attractive. Also, the homerun smoke stacks are lame. There doesn't have to be fireworks after a homer, but do something that is unique to Cincinnati.... so people who see a game here who aren't from here leave and say "Hey, when there's a homer in Cincy they do this...."
Vote ID : 378752 The batters eyes. Other retro parks made the centerfield area much more appealing to look at. Top six should still be top six-not top six down the lines.
Vote ID : 378753 The team that has been fielded
Vote ID : 378754 xxx
Vote ID : 378755 The concourse down the first baseline is too narrow and more bathrooms are needed.
Vote ID : 378756 Too much concrete to been seen.
Vote ID : 378757 it's not on broadway
Vote ID : 378761 It's un-inspiring design and pitiful team on the field.
Vote ID : 378764 Food was pretty crappy
Vote ID : 378765 Food prices are crazy. I miss the fireworks after homeruns and after wins. We need to figure out how to do this next year.
Vote ID : 378766 The concession food is good sometimes and other times the hot dogs and brats are dry. Also the condiment stands need to be stocked all the time. Many times I went up for onion on my dog/brat and the onion on the crank was out.
Vote ID : 378767 The area on the first baseline between the concessions and back row of seats is simply to narrow for the number of people coming and going. The bench seats in LF is BAD!
Vote ID : 378769 The ticket/concession prices are high: 1) The Reds have priced themselves out of being a family venue. It is very expensive to take the wife and kids to a ball game and the Reds are no longer a main option as a family event. 2) I cannot justify paying the high prices charged to see the sorry product on the field or support the direction of the ownership/management has taken this team.
Vote ID : 378772 Concessions lines at field level. Too congested and slow service.
Vote ID : 378774 Compared to other new stadiums, I think GABP looks very cheap and really doesn't grab your eye like some of the other new stadiums. In my opinion, it was a very weak and cost cutting design.
Vote ID : 378775 Lack of view in the outfield
Vote ID : 378778 The architecture seems disjointed and some of the materials used seem cheap (the wire grid work on the railings is coming apart). The wedge-opening was the biggest disappointment, with the luxury box in the middle destroying the view from outside the stadium and the use of most of the deck for a television camera ruins the whole concept of a fan viewing area.
Vote ID : 378779 Centerfield They could have done so much more with this area I go to alot of ballparks and texas, KC, Seatle, to name a few are so much nicer than ours and I looked forward to ours so much.
Vote ID : 378780 The prices of the concessions!!!
Vote ID : 378781 No HR fireworks. It needs a better scoreboard on the opposite side of the stadium from the main scoreboard.
Vote ID : 378782 The retired numbers, present them where everyone will see them. PLace them on the Outfield wall so when looking at the field you will see the numbers and reflect back on the history of the reds
Vote ID : 378783 The location. It would have been a wonderful addition to Broadway Commens. Now you go to the ball park and then leave after the game. Nobody spends time downtown...its such a waste.
Vote ID : 378785 the minor league team that plays in it
Vote ID : 378786 The cheap-ness of it. Where they have the retired numbers behind homeplate on nothing but exposed, grey concrete looks terrible.
Vote ID : 378788 The play of the Reds and the quality of team they put on the field.
Vote ID : 378789 the fact taht the reds blow.
Vote ID : 378790 No more real fireworks after homeruns Nothing really unique about it.
Vote ID : 378791 Could only find one elevator that went to Section 419.
Vote ID : 378792 Kind of plain compared to other new parks such as Jacobs Field in Cleveland.
Vote ID : 378793 Homerun Smokestacks. They don't fit in at all. They are very synthetic and extreamly CHEESY. Go back to real fireworks. see number 30 for alternative suggestion.
Vote ID : 378795 concession waits are terrible. concessions are too close to seats and cause congestion
Vote ID : 378797 The team that takes the field,
Vote ID : 378798 Lack of color and lack of paint. It still has a very generic feel to it as opposed to an intimate, Cincinnati feel. It just feels antiseptic. Take a look at Detroit or Pittsburgh and you get a better sense of being in an intimate ballbark. The lower level first base concourse is horribly tight, crowded, and congested.
Vote ID : 378800 high ticket/food prices
Vote ID : 378803 Batter's Eye, Fireworks, Loud PA, Dumb between-inning antics, horrible wait times at 1st base concessions, horrible traffic patterns in same area, Lack of identifying features (architecturally) poor detailing and propotions, etc. Riverfront ad least had an identifiable silhouette. The condiment dispensers stink too. What is with the 2!!! papa john's stickers on every cup holder? Hall of fame numbers versus shirts
Vote ID : 378806 Need to adopt one seating policy from Cinergy/Riverfront: Make top 6 rows for walkups. I didn't like ordering tickets in March for a July game and being put on the top row of the place.
Vote ID : 378809 The Pepsi Funatics
Vote ID : 378810 Congested concourse near concession areas. Little aisle room for seating.
Vote ID : 378811 The frickin' 'notch'.
Vote ID : 378813 the management of the team, the quality of product the Reds put on the field.
Vote ID : 378814 Price of food.
Vote ID : 378815 The consession prices are obsurd!!!!!!!!
Vote ID : 378817 Long food lines. The incredible jam of people after the game on the first base side. Not enough mention of our world championsips and pennants once you're in your seats. Could have done a better job displaying the retired numbers. The same 5 bums begging for money outside the park every night.
Vote ID : 378819 Nothing for kids. I think the back edge of the ballpark should be extended to the concourse next to the arena and used for entertainment for kids. Someone to paint Reds logos on their faces, someone blowing up balloons, a place where you can get a baseball card made, have your face put into a picture of Reds game action, slides and swings, etc. I know this is not the reason you come to a game, but I took my family to a game at Turner Field last year and they loved it! My wife took the kids to their entertainment area beyond the centerfield wall and they had a blast. They had a regulation sized baseline up there for kids to run down and all my son could talk about was sliding into home plate. It was like a fair midway...elephant ears, snow cones, corn dogs. A three (or more) hour baseball game is too much to ask of young children. Having a place like that where they can go play for a few innings allows Dad to stay in the park instead of walking to the parking lot in the 5th inning.
Vote ID : 378820 Too many designs throughout the ballpark with no real unique flavor. It needs its own identity-(Pac Bell, PNC Park and Arlington are great examples for the new ballparks).
Vote ID : 378821 Handicap parking cost ($10)
Vote ID : 378824 I had to park quite a distance from the field.
Vote ID : 378825 NOTHING
Vote ID : 378826 Loud music between innings and between batters.
Vote ID : 378828 I miss the sound of the fireworks after a win or a homerun. I especially miss winning, but that's not the ballparks's fault....
Vote ID : 378829 The team on the field
Vote ID : 378830 the parking garage stairwells and cramped food concourses
Vote ID : 378831 Not sure
Vote ID : 378833 LEG ROOM BETWEEN ROWS. THE SMOKE STACKS ARE KIND OF CHEESEY
Vote ID : 378834 The ballpark has few was to the upper deck. Clearly this ballpark was designed to cater to the upper class ticket buyer. Real baseball fans are the people in the bleacher and upper deck, but little was done to accomidate them.
Vote ID : 378835 The ballpark has few was to the upper deck. Clearly this ballpark was designed to cater to the upper class ticket buyer. Real baseball fans are the people in the bleacher and upper deck, but little was done to accomidate them.
Vote ID : 378837 high ticket prices, parking situation absolutely sucks, especially for seniors. You have to walk a mile to get there, which precludes me from bringing my mother. Way too crowded along first base concession concourse. Way too narrow for big crowd. bad design, big annoyance.
Vote ID : 378839 Location, it should not have been on the river.
Vote ID : 378840 food is horrible, building lacks theme and style
Vote ID : 378843 The fireworks for home runs and Reds wins are lame. There's no "thump" anymore.
Vote ID : 378844 Too much going on with the interior design
Vote ID : 378850 ushers won't allow you to move down in field level seats even after the 8th inning...Like the people who have tickets for the empty seats are going to show up. Puh-leeze.
Vote ID : 378853 I think it's Riverfront Stadium with new concrete. They should have just renovated Riverfront (Cinergy).
Vote ID : 378855 areas with no view of game, bullpen location not fan friendly, specialty food items limited
Vote ID : 378856 That the river wasn't somehow more visible or integrated into the park
Vote ID : 378857 Access inside - leaving.
Vote ID : 378859 Gouging u with prices for an inferior team
Vote ID : 378860 food prices
Vote ID : 378862 Gouging u with prices for an inferior team
Vote ID : 378864 Congestion at the concourse.
Vote ID : 378865 It is devoid of color. The red seats are a natural choice, but the white and concrete have to be changed. Recall that Riverfront/Cinergy looked much better when in the late 90s the fronting concrete of each seating level was painted green, red, etc. The new park is too bland, too plain. Brick and another color for the iron would have been a nice touch. The Reds missed a great opportunity to open the outfield to a view of the Roebling Suspension Bridge. Another deficiency is the lack of a "neighborhood feel." Before and after the game, you have to get in your car and fight traffic to head to a sports bar or restaurant. This isn't the Reds responsibility, but it would be nice to tie in a riverfront development of eateries and entertainment.
Vote ID : 378866 the team that plays there and the side scoreboards (LF seats never know who's at bat)
Vote ID : 378868 I require handicap seating,,,the areas that are not sectioned off from the concourse becomes an "over the shoulder" standing spot for guys drinking and smoking. They become quite rude after a few beers and think nothing of pushing in on you and even complained that I was obstructing their view! Opening day a large group spent most of the game behind me because it was close to the beer concessions and became so loud at times we could not hear the stadium announcer. No other seats in the stadium have to put up with this, why should those of us in the handicap sections?
Vote ID : 378872 The auxilliary scoreboards are too small. But what I really like least is the team on the field. The fans have been ripped off by the Reds management with this team that was "built" for this park. I can't imagine that any team opening a new ballpark has had a worse experience.
Vote ID : 378874 idiots put it in the wrong place - it should have been built more in the city (ahem.. broadway commons) so that it could have revitalized some of the area. as it is, its facing the wrong direction on the waterfront - it should have been pointing towards downtown. who wants to see a brown river and northern kentucky hills? a nice-looking skyline would have been a much, much better backdrop to a homerun shot.
Vote ID : 378875 horrible food and prices to watch a triple a team!!!!
Vote ID : 378877 Need to let fans in sooner to explore GABP more.
Vote ID : 378880 -poor food and beverage value for dollars spent -the smokestacks
Vote ID : 378882 The interior architecture, food prices.
Vote ID : 378884 Aux. score boards. Not enough information if you are under the main scoreboard.
Vote ID : 378885 side scoreboards, black box, bland atmosphere
Vote ID : 378887 the 'black hole' in center field... i realize that there needs to be some sort of 'batters eye' in center field, but it is just plain ugly!
Vote ID : 378888 angeled seats hurt my back and they are smaller (measured the seats we bought from riverfront vs our seats at GABP). we got our fourth pick for seats...but our first choice was still available for new season ticket holders after May 5th. I can't see left field corner.
Vote ID : 378891 The smokestacks. The exterior appearance. The treatment of the retired numbers. The appearance of the concourses.
Vote ID : 378892 The team that plays in the park
Vote ID : 378893 No entertainment around the ballpark, seats that have obstructed views (near the stacks)
Vote ID : 378895 I attended two games....once sat in the upper deck, where the rows are much closer together and seats narrower than I would have liked. The other game I attended was in the left field lower deck, and those seats were well positioned and fairly comfortable.
Vote ID : 378898 ramps to upper level
Vote ID : 378899 The huge black eyesore in centerfield.
Vote ID : 378901 the fact its not complete yet
Vote ID : 378903 Sound effects. Not needed.
Vote ID : 378904 food prices
Vote ID : 378906 Expensive, bad beer. The ballpark needs better quality beer for the prices. The machine room has a decent selection but the Barrel House product is the only good one close to the seats. Also, the ushers continue to be rude. Unused seats should be available to anyone after the third inning, especially with this "bush league" team that was left after the fire sale.
Vote ID : 378907 The expensive food/drink prices. The lame fireworks display. The pepsi tall stacks. The lack of character/uniqueness in the new ballpark; There is nothing that makes this park stand out. The Retired Numbers look stupid where they are.
Vote ID : 378908 The lower level seats are built too flat, makes it very difficult to see the game when down in the lower levels. Those should be the best seats. Home run smokestacks are terrible. Great idea, but lets get some noise out of those when they shoot off fireworks.
Vote ID : 378909 Where do I start? There is no Reds character inside the ballpark, plenty in the concourses but you are hard pressed to find a Reds emblem around the ballpark. There are entirely too many advertisements around the outfield wall and scoreboard, it has become very distracting to the game. The smoke stacks should shoot real fireworks instead of just sending smoke out of them, not that I would like the cartoon feature anymore than I do now.
Vote ID : 378913 The Black Box in Center field. It downright awful!
Vote ID : 378914 Concession stand prices, the new Mr. Red Race, and the cupholders because people passing through the seats always seem to knock down your drink.
Vote ID : 378915 Low-IQ concession stand workers, mustard and paper towel outages, God Bless America at the 7th Inning stretch (unpopular opinon, I know).
Vote ID : 378916 The parking
Vote ID : 378919 Auxiliary scoreboards are TERRIBLE - if you're sitting in left or centerfield you don't have any stats on the game at all - even the name of the guy batting! Instead, they use the whole screen to advertise Provident Bank or Skyline! Give me permanent billboards and use the electronic screens to help fans be more involved in the game
Vote ID : 378922 Can't hit ball into river, generic feel to field layout and walls, narrow first base concourse, new Mr. Red scoreboard race--bring back the old one!!
Vote ID : 378923 High concession prices, mainly on soda and beer.
Vote ID : 378924 The concessions wait time is terrible. This was not only when the park opened, but at my last game in August.
Vote ID : 378925 Food in Club 4192 was bad, high priced and limited selections. Food in seats was better. The right field line space between seats a concession was a joke. There was no space. Club is difficult to find.
Vote ID : 378926 The upper-deck leg room you are given, it is very cramped and uncomfortable.
Vote ID : 378927 no mettwurst to be found.....buns for all hot dog type products are to big
Vote ID : 378928 I really didn't like the prices on concessions they were too high. Eventhough I do not have young children I do not like the fact that parents of young children could not bring bottles of milk or cups of juice for their children. Seriously what is wrong with that, who's going to be hurt by that? If anything it's going to upset the parents and they are not going to spend any or much money at the game.
Vote ID : 378929 Bleachers, The Home Runs That The Reds' Opponents Have Hitted.
The limited smoking areas.
Vote ID : 378931 Auxiliary scoreboard doesn't even show who's at bat. Too many ads and not enough information. You also have to climb clear to the top of the stadium to get in from the Machine Room. OPEN THE DAMN GATES!
Vote ID : 378932 There's nothing to do downtown before and after games!!!!
Vote ID : 378935 Seating Prices. Could be less.
Vote ID : 378937 That management and ownership did not reward fans with a competitive team--they misled the public about 2003 (injuries notwithstanding).
Vote ID : 378938 The section in the moondeck that has blocked views of the field due to the smokestacks. I believe that this was horrible design and that those seats are almost not worth sitting in.
Vote ID : 378939 N/A
Vote ID : 378941 why is the mascot called gapper? i don't like the pepsi power stacks. they should look more like real smokestacks and shoot off real fireworks that go far into the air. I hate the ribbon scoreboards. they use 90% of them on advertisements. they could get a lot more information, like batter's name, average etc. on it for the people who sit in left field and can't see the main scoreboard.
Vote ID : 378942 The team they put on the field. Need more parking.
Vote ID : 378944 The Batter's Eye-sore restaurant
Vote ID : 378945 It's just a little too bland. Seems like everything is beige or white, and that leaves you with the feeling that something is missing - that it doesn't really celebrate baseball, it's just a decent place to see a game. The positive side of this is that the Reds really could keep adding to it, and change this impression over the years - if they really wanted to.
Vote ID : 378946 Long waits at concessions. Feeling like ballpark design cut too many corners and is too isolated from the city. Other ballparks are very accessible and have an atmosphere around them (Cubs, Giants, Pirates, etc...).
Vote ID : 378948 Parking, poor team
Vote ID : 378949 The price of tickets for a game and the price of food and beverages at the game. I think that baseball is something that everybody should be able to enjoy and I know a lot of people who do not go see the Reds because of ticket prices and food prices. If people can afford tickets, its usually the cheap seats. They have a great view, but I think that the good seats should be affordable also.
Vote ID : 378950 Too much concrete see in inside of park. Lacks character
Vote ID : 378951 all the extra entertainment. I go to games to watch the game.
Vote ID : 378952 the product on the field is embarrasing and disraceful; the parking was horrible also
Vote ID : 378953 The fact that there is only one good scoreboard. The stupid stuff they put on between innings to try to keep us occupied. I miss the organ from the old Riverfront and the cheap, yet entertaining scorboard graphics they had at Riverfront. It's also a big time hassle to get out of the ballpark if its a crowded game and everyone stays until the end. It would take me 45 min sometimes to walk from my right field seat to my car parked near Paul Brown stadium.
Vote ID : 378954 The construction sites, but they will be gone soon eenough
Vote ID : 378955 Concession stands were not open many times on the first base side of the upper deck. This forced us to walk way around to the third base sides and lines were often long because there were only a couple of stands open.
Vote ID : 378956 lines at concession stands.
Vote ID : 378963 No close parking.
Vote ID : 378964 The Riverbats suck!!! Oops I mean the Reds. Also if you sit in left field you have no clue how fast the pitch was. We need another outback vidoe board for people to see how fast the last pitch was. Also the lines for the concessions were way to long!!
Vote ID : 378965 Ticket prices of lower & prices of food and NO PARKING. Parking prices are outragous
Vote ID : 378966 The national criticism it has received.
Vote ID : 378969 The ushers were rude to my wife and I.
Vote ID : 378970 When you sit under the main scoreboard. You can't see any statistics or anything relating to the game besides the innings and outs. Get those stinkin advertisements off the side boards sometimes and put up some real information.
Vote ID : 378973 retired numbers....need to do something different. can't really tell what they are.
Vote ID : 378976 the team
Vote ID : 378977 It could have been a lot better. Cincinnati deserves a good baseball stadium, not some half ass job.
Vote ID : 378981 the black box affect in beyound cenet field.also, seats should have been more theather like in height. Still unable to see over people sitting in front of you in lower level boxes from dugout to dugout area.
Vote ID : 378982 concession stands are manned by volunteers who are not well trained and makes for a long frustrating wait.....
Vote ID : 378983 It is very neat.
Vote ID : 378984 The placement of the main scoreboard. I realize that putting it in center field like most ballparks would have almost eliminated the view of the river, but anyone sitting in left field or along the third baseline has to turn around anytime they want to see the big board. Also the fireworks lack the "big boom".
Vote ID : 378985 intense Pepsi signs on smokestacks are distraction
Vote ID : 378988 Do something about the ushers! There are a few who are courteous, but most are either bored with what they're doing or apathetic toward the fans' requests and needs. A handful seem to be out-right mean spirited. Have them take a class on guest relations or something.
Vote ID : 378989 Retired numbers need to be on jerseys
Vote ID : 378992 People constantly walking up and down the aisles severly limits a person's vision if they are sitting near an aisle.
Vote ID : 378993 Scoreboard was not in operation the day I was there (until about the fourth inning) - it was a day game in July vs. the Pirates. Also, the same day, the game went into extra innings but the concession stands shut down after the 9th inning. I wanted to buy more food and beverages but could not in extra innings, which was very disappointing.
Vote ID : 378994 The Reds hit the skids this year. But they hit rock-bottom in 1989 and won it all in 1990, so don't get discouraged.
Vote ID : 378995 There is not enough room in the concourse area to the right of first base. Crowds always seem to move very slow through there on account of the long lines at the concession areas.
Vote ID : 378999 Smokestacks
Vote ID : 379000 Concession Prices and the team we're stuck watching.
Vote ID : 379004 the location of the main scoreboard---- if you are on the third base side you have to turn around to see it or you can't see it at all.
Vote ID : 379006 The lack of passion in the design, the feeling that the place was just thrown together. Cincinnati had an opportunity to build a landmark and they failed miserably.
Vote ID : 379009 I thought that the machine room was very plain. To me there was nothing that stood out that made the place special. it was very boring
Vote ID : 379010 Lacks character. From the inside it does not look much different than Cinergy did with the outfield wall torn down and grass. Does not take advantage of it's location downtown and on the riverfront like PNC park in Pittsburgh. Wasted view of the river and skyline.
Vote ID : 379011 The product on the field. The smokestacks. That the ballpark isn't closer to the river OR with a view of downtown.
Vote ID : 379014 concourses on the mail level can get real crowded...it seems its the mobile vending stands that cause the lack of space...why couldnt they be moved? the main entrance is quite congested too, unlike the old multiple entrances
Vote ID : 379015 In between innings there way too much effort to entertain fans. There is this forced effort to keep everyone's brain stimualted and, by the way, there is a baseball game going on. Also, the scoreboard went out three times the night I was there. Very annoying. Also we went half way through the year and there was a letter in the Great American Ballpark neon already out! That sign company should have had to drop everything to get that fixed.
Vote ID : 379016 Lack of leg room makes it difficult to get in an out of seats.
Vote ID : 379017 No fireworks after homeruns and wins. Still no restaurants or bars around the stadium to hang out at before and after the game.
Vote ID : 379018 Lonnnnnng concession stand waits due to inexperienced volunteer staff - give them more training or have a regular attendant that they can get help from. Also, why can't the hot dog person get you a pretzel? That's ridiculous! I had to stand in line three times just to get everything my family wanted to eat. That along with the slow lines caused me to miss a significant portion of the game.
Vote ID : 379021 Lack of odd field dimensions, cramped upper deck seating rows. With plenty of other new parks already in existence for reference, the overall design could have been better.
Vote ID : 379023 Looks cheaply constucted inside and out, high consession prices, bad product on the field
Vote ID : 379024 There is a very small number of ice cream selling points, and there was always an extremely long line there on hot days. More ice cream stands!
Vote ID : 379025 There is a very small number of ice cream selling points, and there was always an extremely long line there on hot days. More ice cream stands!
Vote ID : 379026 The puny fireworks display for homeruns and wins. Why can't they stick a barge in the river and blast off the really loud ones like they used to at Riverfront/Cinergy?
Vote ID : 379027 There is nothing else around it. It's by itself.
Vote ID : 379029 Auxillary scoreboards leave something to be desired Possibly a smaller video screen 2nd location
Vote ID : 379030 Price of Beer and Food
Vote ID : 379032 They have to do something with the retired numbers. People coming to this park would have no clue what those numbers under the press box even are, furthermore, when you do know what they mean, ya really can't even see them! This organization is very rich in Hall of Fame talent from the past and they are doing virtually nothing to show for it. Get the damn advertisements off the outfield wall and put up retired jersey's in their place. This is not a AAA ball park. Find somewhere else to put advertisements! Also, I saw nothing with relation to celebrate World Series Championships. And I'm talking from my seat.
Vote ID : 379033 the areas where they allow smoking are so full of smoke that some people can't even walk near them. very hard on people with asthma, etc.
Vote ID : 379038 The black eye sore/party room in centerfield, the small-scale homerun fireworks, and ESPECIALLY, the lack of places to go near the stadium after the games.
Vote ID : 379045 exit times. one game I was at I sat in center field and it took 20 minutes to walk around the concourse and exit behind home plate because of crowding.
Vote ID : 379046 Somtimes you have to wait a long time to get in the door. Being in-line behing a hundred people and you see they only have two ticket scanners going is very annoying.
Vote ID : 379047 I do not like the tiny ribbon auxiliary scoreboards. They should be a little bigger.
Vote ID : 379050 the ticket prices are ridiculous. Most fans have to get freebie tickets from friends or companies we work for that can afford to purchase the tickets with tax write-offs. The tickets are way too much to watch a minor league quality baseball team. If Uncle Carl would spend some of his millions, he could make this team worth watching like steinbrenner did with his YANKEES. Ya reading this Mr. Lindner?
Vote ID : 379051 the main score boards are not visible from most of the left side of the stadium, and the auxiliary score boards are almost to small to see from left field.
Vote ID : 379056 They should have incorporated more brick w/in the interior of the stadium. The concrete walls behind the batter's eye pavilion & home bullpin. It should have been bricked or painted a color similar to the color of the brick. The rock/stone flood wall facing the river of the exterior looks great, but it should extend all the way around the south end of the stadium, it only goes about halfway, then there is once again UGLY concrete. Finally, we need REAL fireworks coming out of the stacks, like we had at Cinergy.
Vote ID : 379057 Everything about it feels a bit "cramped". Terrible ingress/egress...not enough access areas from where the majority of people are coming from (north/northwest of the stadium), plus not enough gates to enter so everyone is trying to cram into the main entrance at the same time. Once inside, the 1st base field level concourse is constantly crowded. And the right field upper concourse isn't wide enough either. One escalator to take patrons to the upper level is grossly inadequate too. All consequences of the ballpark's tiny "footprint" I suppose. Once you get to your seat, everything is OK.
Vote ID : 379058 the team playing in it
Vote ID : 379059 The PRICES!!!!!!!!
Vote ID : 379061 The exterior architecture is disjointed and lacks continuity. It looks like a cross between a modern and retro stadium. Stick with 1 theme.
Vote ID : 379062 The auxiliary scoreboards are awful--too much space devoted to advertising and too little to the game.
Vote ID : 379063 1. The Batter's eye. It looks out of place. 2. The smokestacks. Dumb idea. Smoke is all over the place after a home run.
Vote ID : 379065 exterior is not impressive, no grand appraoch to the park, location, crammed between highway and U.S. Bank Arena, is horrible
Vote ID : 379066 Too much concrete, still feels like Riverfront. Too many billboards Should have been at Broadway Commons
Vote ID : 379069 No cool fireworks. When a home run is hit there are just little fizzles that trickle out of the goofy smokestacks. Pretty weak.
Vote ID : 379070 Parking
Vote ID : 379071 That its not street level.
Vote ID : 379072 the disgusting dismantling of the cardiac kids. other wise i like the park. and probably wont be back if the ownership dont put a team worthy of cincinnati on the field. i,ve loved the reds for 20 years now and will not be back if improvements aren't made to the team!
Vote ID : 379073 Lack of cohesive theme or design. I feel if you're going to build it, make a decision and stick with it. The Reds wavered way too much and took way too many opinions into account. Either go completely retro with a Crosley Field, like Pac Bell, or go modern like Paul Brown Stadium. But pick one and don't waver.
Vote ID : 379077 BEER PRICES I CAN WAIT UNTIL GAME TIME IN KENTUCY AND DRINK CHEAP
Vote ID : 379080 It's generic. It's not even close to the newer parks in Houston, Arlington, Detroit, etc.
Vote ID : 379083 Expensive
Vote ID : 379085 when you sit in left field you cant see the scoreboard
Vote ID : 379087 Location, location, location!
Vote ID : 379090 The fact that it is in Cincinnati and I am in California.
Vote ID : 379092 Food prices
Vote ID : 379093 The team playing in it this year. They could have fielded a better team.
Vote ID : 379094 If you're sitting in the park, you might as well be in any city. You can't see Mount Adams or the river from most of the seats, it still doesn't get at the Reds rich history, and invokes Riverfront Stadium more than Crosley. It just seems cheap.
Vote ID : 379095 The wait times for the concessions on the lower level first base side.
Vote ID : 379098 The ushers are rude. One of many bad experiences include: one night, there was a guy smoking a cigar on the other side of the couple next to me. The lady next to me asked the usher to ask the smoker to put out the cigar. The usher looked at the guy clearly still smoking the cigar, then turned to the lady and said he didn't see any cigar, then turned around and laughed while walking away.
Vote ID : 379099 The parking is a bit of a problem
Vote ID : 379100 Aesthetically it is extremly disappointing both inside and outside. The outside looks like one big concrete slab, tryy some color. The inside is very disjointed. The murals and other touched look like complete after thoughts that were not integrated into the initial design.
Vote ID : 379101 Stairs and escalator placement are a little inconvenient.
Vote ID : 379104 The product on the field. Stop selling our good players.
Vote ID : 379106 Two things: First, by far, the cluster along the first base line when you enter the park. Getting through that is miserable. Secondly, the smoke stacks pale in comparison to the fireworks for homers and wins. The fireworks were great! I miss them a lot.
Vote ID : 379107 the tacky architecture and overblown attempts to entertain the "fans". We're there for the game. Save the other stuff. Also, it looks like an imitation of all the other "retro-plexes" There doesn't seem to be anything unique about it (that I like).
Vote ID : 379109 too close to the arena
Vote ID : 379110 The white, sterile exterior paint which does not blend well with the exterior brick buildings (too Cinergy).
Vote ID : 379112 smokestacks
Vote ID : 379115 Some seats can't see the main scoarboard and the other scoarboards are terrible. Ushers are MEAN!
Vote ID : 379117 No mention of the World Series championships and appearances inside the seating bowl. The narrow concourse on the 1st base line. I don't like that the Machine Room closes its kitchen in the 7th inning. The Reds like to tout how you can come enjoy the game in the Machine Room but they don't mention that you better order your food early or you're out of luck.
Vote ID : 379118 Too much concrete and white paint. Put a little color around.
Vote ID : 379119 The team. They are an embarassment to Cincinnati!!!!
Vote ID : 379120 The view beyond the outfield fence is quite boring. Perhaps it would have been better to place the stadium closer to the river (PacBell), or have the outfield open up to the downtown skyline. It's quite baron when you look beyond the right field fence.
Vote ID : 379121 Disappointing food selection.
Vote ID : 379122 the ticket window is too close to the entrance, which creates a lot of congestion.
Vote ID : 379126 Ushers as surly as ever. No theme to the so-called architecture--it looks like a collection of spare parts, especially the outfield areas. Tough to get around--terrible signage. No signs for restrooms. Stairs barely labeled. Predictable food. Bud Light is not beer.
Vote ID : 379127 Too much concrete, too much white, too little imagination, too little cumulative I.Q. of ownership to build an outstanding ballpark and furnish it with a Major League Baseball team.
Vote ID : 379130 The product on the field. Mr. Linder has not lived up to his implied end of the bargin. He got almost free use of a new place of buisness. The attendance was up before the purge. I and other fans don't want to hear about budgets. If he can't play ball with the big boys, then he should not own a team. He knew what the rules were before he bought the team. It is obvious he does not intend to win so sell it to someone who has the money and will compete with the "rules" that baseball plays under. Yes baseball has problems but that is not the issue. He is the wrong man for the job. I had to build my own building and put out a good product or I am out of buisness. He gets an almost fee building and puts out a far less than acceptable (horrible excuse) product and whines to use about a budget!!!!!! Quit whinning!!!!!!! Either put up or shut up!!!!! I want not only a ballteam to be proud of but an owner/management to be proud of also.
Vote ID : 379131 Ticket Prices and not being able to see the big scoreboard from left field. If the auxiliary had who was up to bat than that would be ok, but you sometimes dont even know who's batting.
Vote ID : 379132 I think there could be a little more personality. The stacks are great, but no one understands what they are if they are not from Cincinnati. The mosaic is good. Crosley Terrace has the potential to be a lot better if they would put plaques up telling you which one is the Klu, Nuxy, Lombardi, and Frank. I mean if you are from out of town, you would have no idea who these Crosley greats are.
Vote ID : 379135 The non winning team
Vote ID : 379137 food is about the same as riverfront and too expensive
Vote ID : 379138 The drunks
Vote ID : 379141 they need the loud booms after winning a game and/or after hitting a homerun
Vote ID : 379142 It does not promote nor take advantage of Cincinnati's rich baseball history. It needs more memorabillia. Also, it needs a bit more color. It's a ballpark not a hospital.
Vote ID : 379147 the beer lines
Vote ID : 379150 The amount of area in the consession area behind the 1st base area. It's great behind 3rd base. On sold out games it was a nightmare!
Vote ID : 379151 the lack of history shown by the Reds (I know a Reds' HOF is being built, so this opinion could change), but just posting the retired numbers is weak. Put their names by the numbers. Have pennants showing the world series, league, and division championships. More statues of Big Red Machine players.
Vote ID : 379155 That you can't buy a scorecard anywhere on the top level except the Gift Shop.
Vote ID : 379156 The smokestacks are VERY lame because they make no noise and flood the field with smoke.
Vote ID : 379159 It is drab and boring. This city and this team had a chance to do something really great with that place and they messed it up. There is nothing special or unique about it that makes you want to show it off or brag about it.
Vote ID : 379160 seating view is impaired due to person sitting in front of you.
Vote ID : 379163 I would like to see Pete Rose's jersey retired like the other ones. I think the prices for food are too expensive.
Vote ID : 379164 the unbeliveable stupid way the retired numbers are displayed. what disrespect! are these great players numbers or section numbers. put their names on them.
Vote ID : 379165 I would like to see Pete Rose's jersey retired like the other ones. I think the prices for food are too expensive.
Vote ID : 379167 The architecture is very generic. It still feels a lot like Riverfront. Too much drab, gray concrete. Not enough color besides red.
Vote ID : 379169 No entertainment at ballpark besides baseball. Ballpark needs identity, to seperate it from others.
Vote ID : 379170 nothing I can think of
Vote ID : 379172 The stupid smoke stacks and the pepsi logos. I also think the scoreboards along third and first base are terrible. The are long but the majority of the sign is taken up with advertisements.
Vote ID : 379173 The batter's eye. It looks like a shack. Plus, I think the pitcher's mound needed to be raised. It didn't look up to regulations. Finally, the way the ball flies out of the park, maybe they need to move the fences back--especially with THIS pitching staff.
Vote ID : 379174 no free beer
Vote ID : 379175 SEEMS MORE LIKE A MINOR LEAGUE PARK THEN A MAJOR LEAGUE STADIUM. LOST SOME OF ITS SPECTACAL GRANDNEST. HARDER TO GET TO FROM PARKING.
Vote ID : 379191 Food Prices.
Vote ID : 379193 Absolutley dislike the smokestacks as the only indicators of a home run. It's akin to only having sparklers to celebrate the 4th of July. Hitting a home run is one of the most significant and important feats in baseball. Its importance should be underscored with more than simply lighting the "roman candles" we call smokestacks. Whenever a home run was hit in Riverfront Stadium, you knew it. Those fireworks told you so, even if you weren't at the game. You could hear those things exploding in an area covering about a 3-5 mile radius around that stadium. Bring back the noise!
Vote ID : 379194 That there is not a ticket booth on the Machine Room side of the park. I cross the river by foot and then have to walk all the way around the park for tickets.
Vote ID : 379195 Smokestacks should be BIGGER! And more of them! And let the fireworks RATTLE downtown like they used to, even if it means shooting them off a barge like at Riverfront. Aisles need to be wider on the 1st and 3rd base lines, near the concession stands. Lower deck concessions stands need REGULAR staff, not volunteers (let volunteers work less crowded stands).
Vote ID : 379196 The current team on the field.
Vote ID : 379198 The non-competitive club on the field. i'd watch the reds at the local little park if they were winning and in the race. winners put people in the stands, not garlic fries or comfortable seats.
Vote ID : 379199 the outrageously loud rock music played before the game and between innings; it stinks and interferes with conversation
Vote ID : 379202 Why do they have to play a noise or music between every single pitch?? It seems like these places are geared towards people with severe cases of ADD.
Vote ID : 379204 Didn't make good use of the views and the river.
Vote ID : 379206 The starkness of the interior. It's 90% gray when there should be photos of Reds greats everywhere, like they do in Cleveland. The treatment of the Kluszewski statue is an abomination. It might as well be a pink flamingo.
Vote ID : 379207 The interior design is very poor. There are seats that don't even have views of home plate. The smoke stakes look riduclous and have no purpose. They also block views to the field. The right field seats should be prime seats and to block a whole corner of seats is just plain stupid. The main scoreboard is to high to see from standing areas and the other scoreboards do not give other info other then a huge advertisement and the line of the game. I'm looking for scores to other games, the batter's stats, pitch count, and speed of pitch. The only place to find the pitch count and speed of pitch is in left center. Not every view can see that. In the bleachers seats you can not see any of that info. It's like your in your own world out there. You have no idea about who is up, their stats, and the pitch count/speed. The rails for standing was a very nice idea but why put food vendors in front of them as it is behind home plate and along 1st base side. There also is no place to sit and take a breath or eat and drink. I was walking around the park with my dad and he need to take a break. Would it hurt to have a few tables and chairs or picnic tables out in the concourse to sit on. Some people may need a break from the game (considering how the reds play) or the sun.
Vote ID : 379208 The fact that the average person is priced out of the best seats. Maybe as a rule the ticket prices are affordable, but the days of my family having the traditional "blue seats" are over. I have 4 kids and one day at the park is cost prohibitive for us.
Vote ID : 379211 Narrow concourse on main level first base side. I thought they claimed wider concourses but nearly impossible to get through at rain delays or end of games.
Vote ID : 379215 Exterior: Concrete is bland and classless
Vote ID : 379216 Looks cheap. camparitively to other ballparks that i have been to.
Vote ID : 379219 they don't play the cubs more!!!!!!!!
Vote ID : 379222 it ignores the city and doesntgenerate development and the design is unorginal (how many neo-classical stadiums do we need in this county?)
Vote ID : 379224 That ugly, black, building in the outfield, same old concessions.
Vote ID : 379225 Horrible outside/inside architecture. Instead of the nostalgic Camden Yards feel, we have a stadium that doesn't know what it wants to be ... nostalgic, futuristic, ? It is easy to get lost inside, signage is poor, and the endless stairs are rediculous with no idea of where you are going.
Vote ID : 379226 the corny smokestackes, the stupid mascot, and the crappy team.
Vote ID : 379227 The owners of the team that play there.
Vote ID : 379236 Architecture...too many different ideas rolled up into one. No common theme like Camden Yards or Pac Bell.
Vote ID : 379238 The accessibility of the upper bowl.
Vote ID : 379240 The seating bowl has a sterile look. There is nothing that is warm or inviting about sitting there.
Vote ID : 379242 Needs a larger "child-friendly" area. See behind center field at the Rangers' park in Arlington, TX.
Vote ID : 379244 Kind of plastic looking overall.
Vote ID : 379245 Baseball is boring as hell - too slow.
Vote ID : 379246 There is not that one unique feature that makes it stand as well with Pac Bell Park or PNC Park.
Vote ID : 379249 No big screen on the first base side of the field, they need one so you can see all highlights and festivities from anywhere in the ballpark.
Vote ID : 379252 Cant afford close-up seats. Food very expensive for a family to eat. Not enough noise when a homerun is hit by a Reds player. We used to hear a loud bang all over Cincinnati. Parking and driving around the stadium can be a problem for a person driving from out of town.
Vote ID : 379253 prices are way to high for the entertainment value, the bleechers were horribly uncomfortable
Vote ID : 379255 The smokestacks.
Vote ID : 379259 MR. RED !!!!!!!!!!
Vote ID : 379260 Not enough party atmosphere. 5,000 to 10,000 people come to watch baseball. The rest of us come to party and have a good time. Especially when the team is no good.
Vote ID : 379261 I feel like there should be more "shaded" areas. It is tough to go to a ballgame on a hot afternoon and have nowhere to go for relief. Then, when you do go for "relief" the concession areas and concourse places were very crowded.
Vote ID : 379266 Lacking a major signature feature
Vote ID : 379271 prices suck unless you are extremely well-off. An average has little choice but to sit in nosebleed heaven. Not a whole lot going on up there. As usual it's the people with the rich seats who get all the attention. Why not send some entertainers up to the cheap seats? Why cater to only the rich seat folks?
Vote ID : 379280 The team on the field. The stadium is a great place to see a game, but we had to go see Major League clubs take on our minor league team. Ownership needs to step up and tell us what they are doing if they want to keep interest in the club going from season to season.
Vote ID : 379281 The worst part about the ballpark without a doubt is the Majestic Hot Corner shop on the terrace level. I understand why the place is so congested before the game starts, but by expanding it, adding more cash registers, and maybe even organizing the flow would make that shop much more profitable for the ballclub (since that's what they're after).
Vote ID : 379282 The fireworks Stink
Vote ID : 379283 When you are walking in, you can't read any of the quotes on the wall because of the steel beams. Everyone seems funneled to one exit/entrance. Batter's Eye (Oh, and who are these guys?)
Vote ID : 379286 the new Mr. Red race and that the smoked sausage commercial no longer exist with the MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.... echoing throughout the park

Vote ID : 379299 The first base plaza level is way too narrow!
Vote ID : 379300 The "black box" in centerfield.
Vote ID : 379301 The narrow aisle on the first base side, but I understand (at least I hope this is correct) it will be wider once the outside construction is done.
Vote ID : 379302 Food prices are too high. Too long of a walk to get to the ticket counter coming from the Kentucky bridges.
Vote ID : 379304 At this point, it appears we didn't get all that we (taxpayers) deseerved. I don't know if it was becasue of the Bengal's stadium overruns, the wedge location, budget constraints, poor creativity by architects, builders, etc. I think they could have used the river better. It's nice, and certianly better than Cinergy, but not great. I'll reserve final judgement until the remaining phases are finished.
Vote ID : 379307Everything
Vote ID : 379309 The colr of the seats does not match the feel of an old-time stadium. If you sit higher up, you can hear more of what goes on outside the park than inside. This is distracting and makes you feel kless connected to the game.
Vote ID : 379312 lack of parking
Vote ID : 379314 nothing
Vote ID : 379315 Location. Move the park 50 feet or so south and we would have a flotilla of boats waiting on home run balls. If built on broadway, we could have the skyline in right and mount Adams in left
Vote ID : 379316 Not enough done to incorporate the river. Could have been closer.
Vote ID : 379317 restricted club level restaurant.
Vote ID : 379321 View of Kentucky. Carl Lindner must sell the team to someone who wants to win. John Allen must go.
Vote ID : 379323 I sat in different seat areas each time and the views from the higher, cheaper seats were better than the more expensive seats I had.
Vote ID : 379324 The TERRIBLE sun glare off the scoreboard during the late spring/early summer at the beginning of night games. Couldn't read any info that was on it.
Vote ID : 379327 Nothing
Vote ID : 379329 Size of concourse on first base line,number of restrooms on field level.
Vote ID : 379332 The wait in consession lines. They take way to long. On the first base side, it seems there is a mile between the register and where the food is. Way to much walking for the employees and no sence of urgency in getting the food quickly. Frustrating to the point I no longer buy anything.
Vote ID : 379334 The lack of quality players the reds put on the field.
Vote ID : 379335 I sat in the upper seats first row and the top of the plexiglass was right in the center of my field of vison.
Vote ID : 379337 Homerun fireworks not loud enough, alternate entrances are not used as much, seems like everyone tried to pile through the main entrance.
Vote ID : 379338 They could have done so much more with it
Vote ID : 379340 Cost of seats behind home, even high up
Vote ID : 379342 Crowding along 1st base concourse.
Vote ID : 379343 Some of the rails around steps will obstruct your fiew if you are sitting close to them.
Vote ID : 379345 The thing is too generic. Where are the retired jerseys? What is that hideous black thing in centerfield? Visually we could have done so much more. It looks like we cut corners.
Vote ID : 379346 The thing is too generic. Where are the retired jerseys? What is that hideous black thing in centerfield? Visually we could have done so much more. It looks like we cut corners.
Vote ID : 379347 The reds playing bad!
Vote ID : 379350 Unless you go KY, there is nothing around it. If you go to Cleveland or Chicago, there are a ton of entertainment options within walking distance besides parking garages. There needs to be a downtown bars and eateries around the ballpark.
Vote ID : 379351 Not enough females!!
Vote ID : 379352 The seats we had along the first-base line in upper deck were horrible. Due to the closeness of the seats and the steepness of the incline, my view of home plate was completely blocked by the heads of the people sitting down and to my left.
Vote ID : 379355 The seats are too close together, very uncom-fortable...impossible to eat, drink, and keep score at same time; and, of course, the lack of adequate parking (hopefully to be resolved). Access to seating is also undesirable (too crowded, particularly at main gate). Gift shop on upper level totally inadequate to handle crowds, and unfortunately that's only place to get a score card on that level...very bad!!!
Vote ID : 379356 The parking. Something has to be done in a closer proximity to the new park. PBS has parking virtually right outside of the stadium. Some thought needs to go into that before next year.
Vote ID : 379357 lack of theme continuity. I also dislike the retired numbers. The old jerseys were a better idea.
Vote ID : 379358 architecture
Vote ID : 379359 The batters eye
Vote ID : 379361 Could use a better team.
Vote ID : 379366 you stand on the outside of the park, and it looks like junk, you go on the inside, it looks great. the outside layout isnt the greatest.
Vote ID : 379368 you stand on the outside of the park, and it looks like junk, you go on the inside, it looks great. the outside layout isnt the greatest.
Vote ID : 379370 Food lines are too long. The steam that comes down all game in the center field standing area. the design is somewhat bland.
Vote ID : 379371 Like to see more tribute to Reds history inside where the field is. Maybe some pennants or banners for each world series team that won. The Reds have a lot of history, it should be shown off even more and be where you are most of the game. This is especially true when the current product is the way it is. At least remind us of the good old days when we could expect a win. 2nd place in the like least department are the banner scoreboards. Those are sad. Sometimes you aren't sure it is the game you are watching they are of so little help.
Vote ID : 379372 the team
Vote ID : 379373 The fact that, other than Skyline, there isn't any food that represents Cincinnati; most of the food available is poor quality Sportservice food (undercooked hot dogs, greasy pizza, etc.). I also am disappointed in the laughable team that was fielded this year.
Vote ID : 379374 nothing
Vote ID : 379380 The Reds suck.
Vote ID : 379383 the food and ticket prices are way too high I went the San Francisco Pac Bell Park and the average price their is about 18 dollars for all the seats The price at the new park is a rip off
Vote ID : 379387 The ushers are not helpful, but act more like police. The are not welcoming but instead are like hall monitors in high school keeping everyone in the right seat with no flexibility or kindness. Also the concession stands still take a long time for service.
Vote ID : 379389 The home-run celebration needs to pack more punch, make more noise, and be more energizing. The quiet fireworks don¥t do much to help light a fire under a team.
Vote ID : 379391 Price of food
Vote ID : 379392 Having to turn around if you sit on the thirdbase line to view the main scoreboard. No fireworks when homers or wins occur..I don't care about any city ordinance either. Smokeestacks don't cut it.
Vote ID : 379393 Parking is absolutely terrible.
Vote ID : 379394 look at places like San Fran, Pittsburg, Houston all there new ballparks are unique lookin and have sumthin bout the city incoorporated in them, here we dont really, too dull
Vote ID : 379397 Vending prices. Pepsi FANatics or whatever they are called.
Vote ID : 379399 the main scoreboard, cant be seen well from certain parrts of the stadium.also prices of beer is out of sight
Vote ID : 379401 People are always in the ailse, blocking the view of the field
Vote ID : 379403 Seats too narrow
Vote ID : 379405 I think the exterior and, to some extent, the interior architecture is too cold and impersonal. It feels almost like there wasn't enough budget to do do it right.
Vote ID : 379406 As someone who grew up going to Yankee Stadium and has had the pleasure to experience the older parks such as Fenway and Wrigley I was hoping GAP would bring the fans closer to the action all around. While some of the areas have the upper decks still appear to be farther back than the other parks.
Vote ID : 379408 Its not a ball park, it has no team.
Vote ID : 379413 I have visited many of the new ballparks around the country. I was so excited when the Reds were building there new ballpark. I checked out the webcam on almost a daily basis. My first game was during the Yankee series. I have to admit that I was very disappointed. While almost all of the other new ballparks were aesthetically pleasing to the eye, GABP seemed to be a big piece of concrete. The uniformed red seats throughout the stadium is nice. The concourses did not seem to be much wider. There are no amusement areas for children or areas to truly break away from the game if so desired (example...Tiger stadium beer garden and amusement area). The Smokes stacks are unique but are definately one giant ad for Pepsi. They could have been a little more discreet (small pepsi presence). GABP is better than Cinergy. That was not hard to do. But if I were ranking all of the new stadiums, it would rank near the bottom. You asked for an honest answer and I have given you one.
Vote ID : 379416 The gap
Vote ID : 379419 the plainess of it all, very plain and boring. I feel th ey fell short compared to all the other new ballparks. (PNC,Pac Bell,Coors etc)
Vote ID : 379420 Nothing special, the team is still poor, too many homeruns hit, too generic.
Vote ID : 379421 Nothing special, the team is still poor, too many homeruns hit, too generic.
Vote ID : 379422 Lack of convenient parking and the narrow concourse on lower level of the first base side. Concrete in some facades should have been covered with stone, brick or masonry.
Vote ID : 379424 In the top deck down the 3rd baseline, the view of the field is somewhat obstructed by the seats in front of you. It should probably be a little steeper.
Vote ID : 379425 The Home Run Smoke Stacks
Vote ID : 379426 OUR owners, OUR team!! We have this stadium so we can compete but they are not raising the team salary! baseball is now a JOKE and i am less interested in baseball because Cincinnati has no chance to win the world series even before the season starts.
Vote ID : 379428 The announcements before the game are too frequent and too loud!!!! You can't even carry on a conversation and relax, take it all in.
Vote ID : 379431 It's just not distinctive.
Vote ID : 379435 the fans, they dont really get excited
Vote ID : 379436 cramped seating for anyone over 6'0" tall; confined inner concourse 1st base side, particularly when leaving the game
Vote ID : 379437 To much cement
Vote ID : 379438 Price gouging.
Vote ID : 379439 Parking has not been great.
Vote ID : 379443 between inning entertianment
Vote ID : 379446 interior is drab. parking.
Vote ID : 379447 There could be more character to the outside architecture.
Vote ID : 379448 I hate the fact that the best seats in the house are seats I will never, ever get to sit in.
Vote ID : 379451 The product on the field
Vote ID : 379452 Big red sofa Poor baseball team Price
Vote ID : 379454 The quotes like Pete Rose's gasoline suit saying are somewhat hidden. They should be more visible.
Vote ID : 379456 The lack of excitement from the smoke stacks, and in turn small, weak fireworks
Vote ID : 379457 Prices on food and drinks.
Vote ID : 379460 Long waits at the concession stands, especially on the higher levels. It appears the better service is reserved for the pricier seats, although the longer lines are in the cheaper seast where the service is needed most.
Vote ID : 379461 the minor league baseball team that plays in it. I will never go to another Reds game until they start making moves to win games and not just save money.
Vote ID : 379462 The lack of a designated Family Area, away from the drunks & cigerette smoke..
Vote ID : 379464 People moving without restrictions from the bleacher seats to the more expensive seating area. Sometimes you would leave your seat between innings to go to the concession stand or men's room and when you came back they would be sitting in your seat. This happened three time during one ball game.
Vote ID : 379465 the fact that the reds sold their sole to the yankees and the team was garbage to watch. its kinda cluttered
Vote ID : 379466 Getting in and out of it. Everyone heads towards the home plate area or the centerfield area to exit rather than being able to go out several exits. It gets very congested.
Vote ID : 379470 height of seats is not quite enough to be able to see above some of the heads in front of us. Our seats are right above the press box and I am not short (5'7) so I know others have difficulty.
Vote ID : 379471 Poor product on the field, no fun to watch.
Vote ID : 379472 The score board could have been better placed. We sat in right field and couldn't see the board, but paid lots of money!
Vote ID : 379473 The pathetic AAA team we have.
Vote ID : 379474 I have one complaint.....I where my family's season tickets are along the third base line in the Mezzanine we cannot see the out of town scoreboard for National League games. It would be nice if they would switch the American League out of town scores with the National League out of town scores so that everyone could see what is happening in the National League.
Vote ID : 379476 If you set in left field stands it's very bothersome to have to turn around and see the scoreboard.
Vote ID : 379477 The ticket prices. It was not too many years ago that I could buy a blue seat behind homeplate for $12.50. I live in Virginia and get to Cincinnati once a year to visit my family. Even up until its final season could get a great seat at Riverfront for 5 or 6 games during my stay and not spend more than $50 or $60. The times have caught up with the Reds, though. Tickets still compare well with prices around the league, but I'll miss sitting behind home plate.
Vote ID : 379479 the team on the field is really the louisville riverbats with sean casey and jason larue doing minor league instruction.
Vote ID : 379480 The steepness of the upper deck.
Vote ID : 379481 no pete rose
Vote ID : 379483 not the ballpark but better explanation where the seats are when buying. We sat in LL and thought we were up front when we were way back.

Vote ID : 379491 It's too stinking expensive.
Vote ID : 379493 Play on field, club management, lame fireworks
Vote ID : 379497 What the Reds have done to this team. I went to zero games after the All-Star Break. I probaly attended seven or eight before that. Do the math.
Vote ID : 379501 Everyone floods into the main entance and causes a major people jam. Too few gates. The big black tool shed. Cheesy smokestacks. Need more green plants. There's a large slab of concrete behind the tool shed that should have some ivory on it.
Vote ID : 379507 the team is horrible
Vote ID : 379509 The attitude of employees, especially the ushers and ticket takers. Also the lack of control over autograph seekers, photographers and ball-hawkers in the front rows of the field seats.
Vote ID : 379510 tiny narrow seats, no room for feet and legs, unfriendly ushers, you seem so crowded all the time.
Vote ID : 379511 team's performance
Vote ID : 379512 Many seats lack a view of the main scoreboard, the luxury suite that blocks the view from downtown into the stadium (through the gap), gift shop on upper level is way undersized.
Vote ID : 379513 The Entrance area is way too small, it causes a bottleneck. This was a major design flaw that was missed.
Vote ID : 379517 It's not close enough to the river so Adam Dunn can hit a ball in the water.
Vote ID : 379519 Feels a little cramped
Vote ID : 379520 High ticket prices for the minor league team they have been fielding.
Vote ID : 379521 The team
Vote ID : 379522 the smoke stacks look cheap and cheesy, they don't look real at all
Vote ID : 379526 tight first base concourse
Vote ID : 379528 The congestion that occurs along the 1st base side walkway out to the Sundeck (aka smokers paradise).
Vote ID : 379529 PRICES FOR BEER
Vote ID : 379534 THE UPPER MANAGMENT AND TEAM SUCKS, NOT WORTH THE MONEY!
Vote ID : 379535 I've sat twice in the area between 3rd base and the left field foul pool - you lose sight of a significant amount of the playing field. The food is fairly expensive for the average at best quality. Beer, the staple of an enjoyable day at the ballpark, is overpriced and often warm if you are buying from one of the vendors. Also, the inside of the stadium is very grey and dark - espescially when you are sitting in the stands and look around, I'd like to see the facades painted red.
Vote ID : 379536 PARKING
Vote ID : 379538 Everything is white. Besides the main score board, not much else to help keep you in the game. I sat in the left field bleachers and couldn't see the scorebaord, therefore it was very difficult to follow the action; who's batting, pitching, etc.
Vote ID : 379539 I have had the pleasure of attending Reds games the last few years at other "new" parks (Pittsburg, Milwaukee, Houston) and they just seem to be so much nicer. GABP is "ok" and nice but no real "pazaz" (spelling????) Nothing really jumps out at me. I guess I was just expecting more. Especially for the $$$$$.
Vote ID : 379540 I don't care for the smokestacks inside the park.
Vote ID : 379541 That the auxiliary scoreboards are used almost exlusively for advertising.
Vote ID : 379542 Maybe we have to give the exterior a grade of "incomplete" for now since the museum area isn't complete, but with all the pale concrete and cold steel the exterior has little personality. Entertainment for the fans is also lacking. And then there is the almost laughable quality of the players on the field.
Vote ID : 379543 I think that the entertainment in between innings could be a little more exciting.
Vote ID : 379546 - MUST have better 2ndary scoreboard (with more info/stats) for those who cannot see the main scoreboard. - no justice done to those players whose numbers have been retired; that is extremely ugly/lame the way it is now; why not have "jerseys" like in old stadium? - too much ugly, plain concrete to look at INSIDE the stadium (when viewing the game). - do the smokers have to be allowed to stand in open viewing areas (i.e. bullpen areas, the gap, etc.)...there are som many smokers there that a non-smoker/with children cannot possible view the game from there for longer than one can hold his breath.
Vote ID : 379547 On upper concourse, there usually was not enough open concession stands to satisfy demand. It equaled a fairly lengthy wait.
Vote ID : 379549 It is merely a cookie cutter "mall-park". There is a lack of real uniqueness, we got a poor man's Camden Yards a decade later.
Vote ID : 379550 Front our seats in the 400 section behind homeplate, if someone of average height or above sits in front of you, the pitcher and home plate are blocked. You must lean to the right or left. If someone in the front row leans forward rests on the bar, the view is blocked. If no one sits in front of us...it is great view.
Vote ID : 379552 The Triple A team that is playing there
Vote ID : 379553 1.THE TEAM THAT'S CURRENTLY PLAYING IN IT. 2.SEATS IN THE NON-PREMIUM AREAS ARE TOO NARROW. 3. INCONSISTENCY OF FOOD QUALITY AND SERVICE FROM THE VOLUNTEER CONCESSION AREAS. SOME ARE VERY GOOD, WHILE OTHERS ARE TERRIBLE (BURNT FOOD, SLOW SERVICE, ETC.)
Vote ID : 379555 Watching players I've never heard of... I understand!!!
Vote ID : 379563 men
Vote ID : 379566 The batters eye structure is the most disgusting, hideous, odeous vision not only in major league baseball but in the universe. It almost ruins an otherwise beautiful stadium. Also the seats were not situated well around the ailes--causing even more obstruction when people come and go than at Riverfront.
Vote ID : 379570 Looking to the west and seeing the crater that used to be Riverfront Stadium. I had a lot of childhood memories get imploded there.
Vote ID : 379572 The concourse is too small
Vote ID : 379574 Minimal concessions opened on the upper floors, restrooms in poor shape with no toilet paper. Minor league team playing in a major league stadium.
Vote ID : 379575 smokestacks
Vote ID : 379578 THE LINE TO GET IN AND OUT. THE POOR SERVICE TO CONSESSIONS AND WALKING VENDORS. THE RUDE DRUNKS THAT YOU CAN'T SEEM TO KEEP YOUR KIDS FROM SEEING. THE BUMS TO AND FROM YOUR CAR. IF, YOU LEAVE YOUR SEAT YOU HAVE TO MAKE SOME ONE LEAVE THEM WHEN YOU GET BACK.
Vote ID : 379581 Parking to far away (poor planning). Beer and food way too expensive. Seats angled so much that you look over your neighbors shoulder. O yeah, ticket prices are too high for this Minor League franchise.
Vote ID : 379583 Seats are to narrow,I am an average sized man.
Vote ID : 379585 Concession prices... OUTRAGEOUS!
Vote ID : 379586 Scoreboards are poor for seats that don't have a view of the main scoreboard.
Vote ID : 379587 Nothing unique about the park.
Vote ID : 379591 it seems somewhat generic
Vote ID : 379595 Not architecturally unique.
Vote ID : 379596 Limited access to and long waiting time in the upper-level gift shop.
Vote ID : 379598 the fact that unless you can see the big scoredboard, you have no idea who's at bat if the crowd is too loud to hear the announcer say the batter's name. The current batter's name or number should be displayed somewhere on the ribbon scoredboards for those in left field and the bleacher seats so they can know what's going on. The current strike/ball count should be displayed there too, not just team score and the inning.
Vote ID : 379599 team
Vote ID : 379600 Ushers
Vote ID : 379601 the smoke stacks get in your way when sitting out in the right-center seats
Vote ID : 379603 The homerun smoke stacks are ugly and look like a childs toy with those eyeballs. They should of put in a riverboat caliapy organ and had that roar to life with homeruns. it would be fun and pay respect to our riverboat history.
Vote ID : 379604 The architecture! It seems that too many hands were stirring the pot. It really seems that pieces were just mimicked from other ballparks. My biggest complaint is with the outfield. The composition of the whole piece just doesnít seem right. The black building in center is an eyesore and really does nothing to help balance out the other two sides. The left field scoreboard (which is very nice) seems enormous when compared to the right field side, which is the only piece of the entire composition that seems right. The views out of ballpark do not appear to have been very well thought out because they offer nothing of interest. I know most will say that attention should be on the game and not views from the outfield openings but those are the views that most see on TV and highlight shows and they are not very exciting or memorable. Ballparks like Pac Bell, Miller Park, Safeco, Coors, Wrigley, Camden, PNC Park, The Jake and many others have feature that stick out in peopleís minds. GABP has a black building and some corny smokestacks that seem like an afterthought. Why couldnít they have incorporated something more integral with the ballpark for the batterís eye? A water feature with a paddle wheel or something more original that people would associate with the team. The ballpark seems to just fade into the background of the city and adds nothing to the picturesque view from Kentucky, which is also a popular view on TV. At least Paul Brown Stadium does its job of being a great venue and a great icon for the city itís a shame that GABP fails to contribute anything positive to the postcard view of Cincinnati.
Vote ID : 379605 The team, the COO, the owner.
Vote ID : 379606 The exterior. Not impressive at all.
Vote ID : 379610 Besides the team? Best seats are too expensive ($225) and they need to have more Cincinnati gimmicks (ie: smoke stacks)
Vote ID : 379613 My wife only likes to sit on the 1st base side, only because the scoreboard is directly in front of her. She thinks a similar sized scoreboard should be erected on the other side of the park.
Vote ID : 379614 The fact that you can only get one type of beer at each concession stand is stupid. It's not fan-friendly. I have to go to one to get Budweiser and another to get my wife a Miller Lite, or I have to drink crappy Miller Lite if I don't want to do this. Bad. The overall beer selection throughout the ballpark could be better. I think there is only one spot or maybe two to get a "craft" beer.
Vote ID : 379615 the area around the seating near the concession stands....too cramped...just like Riverfront Stadium/Cinergy. Our city really needs to visit "The Ballpark at Arlington" near Dallas, Texas -- The home of the Rangers is just awesome! The amount of room to walk around and the amount of concession stands everywhere keep congestion down and people mill around and feel comfortable there. I'm not saying we need a 60,000 seat stadium...but look at the architecture of how you can enter the stadium and you do not feel claustrophobic at all. There is so much room to just walk around - and you're still inside the ball park!
Vote ID : 379616 The fog from the smokestacks setteling on the playing field.
Vote ID : 379618 That it couldn't manage to help the Reds beat the Astros.
Vote ID : 379623 the narrow first base ailse behind the lower seats! The plain concrete on the inside facades
Vote ID : 379624 We moved to section 425 or so and the sight lines into the leftfield cornor were terrible and it also was getting more difficult to see the scoreboard. The garage needs to have improved signage. Not only for where there are handicapped parking spces but also elevators.
Vote ID : 379626 The team that plays in it- the owner and his wholesale gutting of the team
Vote ID : 379627 Getting out after the game is over.Needs more exits
Vote ID : 379628 The price of a beer.
Vote ID : 379630 not enough history inside the playing field of the club. The sofa express clock that was supposed to be a repilca of the old Crosley clock. The banner signs between the decks are horrible. 95% of it should not be advertisments. Put stats about the pitcher and batter on one half of it and ads on the other.
Vote ID : 379632 Interior and exterier architecture

Vote ID : 379640 The food and drinks seem over priced. The skyline coneys are probably the best buy in the park at 2.50 a pop!
Vote ID : 379641 Who cares about the park. The product on the field sucks and the ownership SCREWED the fans. I'm done as a Reds fan.
Vote ID : 379643 The product on the field
Vote ID : 379644 Some of the aisles and concourses are a little too tight for a new ballpark.
Vote ID : 379646 The concourses are not big enough to accommodate a sell-out crowd.
Vote ID : 379647 empty diamond/scout seats cost too much
Vote ID : 379650 Home Run Fireworks are missed by many. We work downtown and it is always great to hear the boom during the day games.
Vote ID : 379651 There should be more for kids there--for instance a slide area and a miniature ball park where they can play. GABP is a destination for families.
Vote ID : 379652 For EVERYONE sitting in the left field stands, there is no scoreboard, showing stats of the player at bat, visible, although some can strain their necks looking over their shoulder to see the main scoreboard. This is a major problem, considering the reds have two large ares on the facades (down first and third base lines) dedicated to advertising!!! I would also like to see more references to the history of the reds through out the park.
Vote ID : 379655 Poor views of the scoreboard
Vote ID : 379657 It is an excellent park for the actual game watching, but it just isn't impressive from the outside. Kind of like the city I guess.
Vote ID : 379658 The prices for people who live and drive from Louisville!!! The prices are too high and to get a decent price you have to sacrifice too much. Parking is not good at all! Stop Scalping at higher than ticket prices! The park is not really worth the team that is on the field. AKA letting Aaron Boone go and no pitching, so if you think about it I have a ticket for next weekend but I am not going because there is no one to see play from the Reds except for Casey.

Vote ID : 379677 The fireworks!!!!!!
Vote ID : 379679 The foodservice, thew wait for food, and the worlds slowest pace of the unethusiastic employess. I manage over 50 people and all the food service employees are unacceptable between attitude, appearance, and work pace.
Vote ID : 379680 Entry is much more complicated. Up and down and all around. Yecch!
Vote ID : 379681 It faces the wrong way.
Vote ID : 379682 The lack of restaurants/bars incorporated with it in the surrounding area.
Vote ID : 379683 The Batters Eye looks stupid, overall it looks like a generic park. Should have given it some character like PNC park in Pittsburgh. Shouldn't have given it as many seats, like PNC in Pittsburgh. The stadium looks kind of dull with the red and concrete colors.
Vote ID : 379685 losing
Vote ID : 379686 the smoke stacks and the changing advertising images on the sideline scoreboards
Vote ID : 379690 Cinergy allowed fans to go down to the player entrance to see the players and seek autographs. Now they have it all closed off and fewer players will sign once in thier car.
Vote ID : 379695 The product on the field is horrible for the price!
Vote ID : 379697 Paying taxes on a triple A team
Vote ID : 379701 The food is too pricey.
Vote ID : 379702 One must be critical, will this park be cool in ten or fifteen years. No! Why? Because they took few risks. It's has nothing to seperate it from the other new parks, does not throw your head back when you hit the accelerator. Adequate at best.
Vote ID : 379704 Prices of "luxury" seats
Vote ID : 379705 it seems to lack character. After visiting Pac Bell, Camden, coors, Enron and Phoenix I realized that it lacks the character and Pizzaz of those. I think we spent to much on the Bengals stadium and not enough on the Reds. Having said all of the above, it is a nice ballpark just not a great one.
Vote ID : 379706 the team sucks... the owner is horrible.. John Allen is out of his league
Vote ID : 379709 Terrible smoking accomodations....no ashtrays, seating. No way to keep up with game while there.
Vote ID : 379710 The players not perceiving the fans as customers. Too many primos that need customer/fan education.
Vote ID : 379713 THE HIGH PRICES ON BEER AND FOOD
Vote ID : 379717 The team playing in it. It is not the team for which we paid are tax dollars.
Vote ID : 379722 Where in the heck is the before & after game entertainment. We built a Taj Mahal on a deserted island with the only rescue being on the other side of the river.
Vote ID : 379725 a very bad location
Vote ID : 379727 the consession stands on the west end are to close to the stands, and the fact the shove products down your throat
Vote ID : 379729 the consession stands on the west end are to close to the stands, and the fact the shove products down your throat
Vote ID : 379730 I wouldn't go so far as to say the park is ugly, but its architecture is very plain. Jacobs Field's steel framework is much more impressive. Hopefully, when the Hall of Fame and gift shop building is completed, it will add some more personality to the park. The park has lots of nice quirks (the notch, the sun/moon deck, the smokestacks), but the basic structure, when compared with other new parks, is pretty drab.
Vote ID : 379734 Location...the town blew it by not going to Broadway Commons. But Newport and Covington are loving it!
Vote ID : 379737 The awful white painted steel which gives the whole park a "cheap" antiseptic feel. Green (Camden Yards, Fenway), blue (PNC Park), grey (Jacobs Field), or even black paint would have given the stadium a far warmer feel.
Vote ID : 379741 The smokestacks in right center. The narrow aisle way along the right field side of the facility. The high prices of food and beverage. I have five kids and it cost a small fortune. I cannot attend as many games with the family because of this.
Vote ID : 379748 Not enough food variety at concessions. Food prices make it difficult to pay for a family of four. Ramps to upper levels - you are "trapped" on them for what seems to be 3-4 flights - very tiring on hot days. Parking - far distant to walk & expensive.
Vote ID : 379751 The price of beer is outrageously high.
Vote ID : 379754 I sat in the left field line seats and my view was obstructed by poeple going up and down the steps
Vote ID : 379756 You can't see the river from lower-level seats, so what's the point of putting the stadium there? It also does not distinguish itself from other new parks.
Vote ID : 379758 interior and exterior architecture and design, it needs more stuff inside
Vote ID : 379760 Too much concrete and not enough color in the place. It needs to be livened up.
Vote ID : 379762 No Crosley Field terrace.
Vote ID : 379764 Concession prices are way too high. The notch took away a lot of good seats.
Vote ID : 379765 It could have been so much better!! It should have been one of the top 3 or 4 in baseball. It should have been the new "PALACE OF THE FANS"
Vote ID : 379766 The product, namely the team, is what I like least and their performance.
Vote ID : 379768 THE SPEAKERS ARE WAY TOO LOUD
Vote ID : 379769 Prices
Vote ID : 379770 concession prices are outrageous and should be criminal. $6 for a bud light is nonsense.
Vote ID : 379772 The scoreboard was out for parts of at least 3 games I attended this year - COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE! Between innings "entertainment" (and I use that term very loosely!) - very poor; the Pepsi Fanaticks stink. Gapper is ridiculous. The contest with the people roaming the stands and their banter - awful. The smoketacks can't even blow a decent smoke puff. A little poof and it lingers on the playing field!
Vote ID : 379775 only one ticket booth location is pathethic. Hard to get too. Not enough close parking
Vote ID : 379776 The Fact that put a bad team on the field
Vote ID : 379777 The cheesy entertainment between innings as well as the scoreboard. A manuel scoreboad would have been a much better choice as there are too many distractions from the game on the electronic scoreboards.
Vote ID : 379782 the quality of the play from the reds. i will hesitate on going back until the product on the field is better
Vote ID : 379784 I feet that the close seating is the biggest problem facing the GABP.
Vote ID : 379785 right now the parking or lack thereof
Vote ID : 379786 The only thing that I disliked about the stadium was the food wait, everything else has been beyond what I imagined it would be.
Vote ID : 379787 Gapper the worst mascot EVER, not enough concession stands open toward the end of the year, the tight dimensions of the first-base side concourse.
Vote ID : 379789 It's doesn't have enough character. The Reds stadium is a cookie-cutter concept similar to PNC.
Vote ID : 379790 I hate those Pepsi screens on the smokestacks. I realize they are a sponsor, but the screens/paddlewheels would look better in a lower location
Vote ID : 379792 Having to walk through the concession lines to your seat. Parking.
Vote ID : 379794 It should have been built closer to the river, where there are splash homeruns like PacBell. Other than the smokestacks, the interior is generic. Need more history outside. Hopefully the new museum will be a big plus.
Vote ID : 379797 Would like more activities for kids in the outfield concourses. Food is ok, but like more selection besides hot dogs,...Skyline and Montgomery Inn is a good idea, how about more unique foods of Cincinnati. I don't care for the smokestacks
Vote ID : 379798 The frills take away from the game. And as far as frills go they are very drab and unentertaining.
Vote ID : 379799 all the people going up and down the entire game
Vote ID : 379803 The dimensions
Vote ID : 379804 It's doesn't have the history I would have expected!
Vote ID : 379805 *Prices *Too many extras, and not enough of a real baseball feel
Vote ID : 379810 food is too expensive
Vote ID : 379815 Nothing, so far. Although I wish that the Museum was finished.
Vote ID : 379821 The poor excuse for a team we have.
Vote ID : 379828 main scoreboard is not visable by all seats Beer prices are too high!!!!
Vote ID : 379829 The team stinks and the organization has shown that they have no plans to improve it to a major league level in the near future. The Reds had a chance to be good this year, and they blew it on nearly every trade last year. We could have had Scott Rolen, Bartolo Colon, Chuck Finley, but instead we got Shawn Estes and got rid of players like Brady Clark. The front office is a total joke, and I will not attend a Reds game until they at least attempt to field a major league product. It doesn't matter how nice the stadium is (by the way, it isn't) as long as the product on the field is horrid. The entire organization is a joke, and right now the Reds look worse than the Bengals. Tough to do.
Vote ID : 379830 Smokestacks, Paddle wheel and the overall lack of recognition of baseball history/nastalgia. I had to search very hard for the retired numbers. They should be easy to fine. Exterior architecture is very industrial and does not resemble an old time ballpark. Both Baltimore and Pittsburgh beat us by far with respect to overall design
Vote ID : 379831 The crowd it attracts. There are so many gritty drunks that it makes the experience a little awkward. The amount of cussing from the fans that goes on is absolutely ridiculous.
Vote ID : 379833 The product on the field
Vote ID : 379834 You can't take a horn cuz the stadium rule that is sucks. hey guys you need to come to Caracas Venezuela and watch a baseball game, you can ask about it David Concepcion is awesome atmosphere
Vote ID : 379837 The Reds lineup and high concession prices.
Vote ID : 379838 Outside is unattractive.
Vote ID : 379839 Bland, nothing to it
Vote ID : 379841 I am in the left field lower level seats and I can't see the main scoreboard...So I miss the Mr. Red race and other entertainment on the Jumbotron
Vote ID : 379842 The food is still very plain minus the kosher hot dogs, Skyline and Montgomery Inn. Otherwise, I'm in no real big hurry to have food at the games. In visiting other stadiums there is much more offered.
Vote ID : 379843 unfortunately ownership was less than truthful about putting a quality product on the field due to increased revenue of the new park. dumping good, popular players due to cost cutting will not bring people to a very nice stadium. paying ticket prices for double and triple a baseball is not something most fans will want to do. the Red organization and their actions this season is a big disappointment
Vote ID : 379847 Team that plays in it and parking
Vote ID : 379848 non competitive team!!!!
Vote ID : 379855 No championship banners on the walls, also telling the fans that the clock is a replica of the Crosley Field clock is a joke.
Vote ID : 379856 Right field line concourse is too narrow, leading to major congestion problems (long lines for concessions, no room left for people passing through).
Vote ID : 379862 Kiss Cam
Vote ID : 379863 not enough gates and too much construction right now
Vote ID : 379867 Exterior is unattractive.
Vote ID : 379872 Food Prices
Vote ID : 379873 Can not see scoreboard from right field.
Vote ID : 379877 Leg room. Seats are great. Leg room is horrible.
Vote ID : 379878 nothing stands out
Vote ID : 379879 The team sucks. I'd rather see little league games. We paid for this stadium and the reason none of this is as good as it should be is b/c I can't go see a winner. I want my money and time back. PCMS the company I work for has season tickets. Since the public in Cincinnati has been let down by another ownership I plan on telling them to cancel
Vote ID : 379880 the smokestacks going off for no apparent reason
Vote ID : 379884 I don't like the look of the smokestacks.
Vote ID : 379885 concourse is plain cynder blocks just painted...check out the Reds AAA park in Louisville...best concourse in all of basbeall major or minor
Vote ID : 379887 Outside is a little drab.
Vote ID : 379888 Outside is a little drab.
Vote ID : 379889 Outside is a little drab.
Vote ID : 379891 No answer.
Vote ID : 379892 The scoreboard/entertainment factor is pathetic. There is one giant board not visible to anyone in left field. There is so much that goes on between innings on that board that if you sit in the bleachers, you miss. When the team on the field is not entertaining, this is especially evident. In addition, the pitch count is only posted in LF, so if you are sitting there that feature is useless. To an interested fan (Read: one who comes back to multiple games and therefore ignores the kiss cam etc.) this feature is a neat one to follow the game with. It sickens me to see GIANT concourse long ad boards for Pepsi, Provident, etc on the facade's along 1B with TINY (one panel) scoreboards on either side. Why not use all of that board for score info and move the ads to the concourse above (or is it below?).
Vote ID : 379893 A little too expensive, the food and beer selection is a little ho-hum, and the product on the field is lousy.
Vote ID : 379901 the black hitters eye, really ruins the beautiful stadium, something like cleveland's picnic area would've made a much better backdrop
Vote ID : 379903 Could have integrated the park more with the river setting, location (cf. PNC); need more things to do closer; wider beer selection (ever heard of microbrew?); scoreboard large, but could have better & more accurate states (BBs were always wrong)
Vote ID : 379907 the claustrophobic concourses. I can't believe how hard it is to get around in a crowd. So much was made of how "wide" the concourses would be during the selling of the park - I just don't see it.
Vote ID : 379915 Home run and after game fireworks need to be much larger and louder.
Vote ID : 379918 Budget design.....a warehouse look, no architectural interst.
Vote ID : 379920 Upper deck the sound system can be too loud when your seats are close to the speakers Can wait for everything to be done along the right field side. Hall of Fame etc. Then I can judge the whole stadium.
Vote ID : 379922 Parking
Vote ID : 379923 The fact that Carl Lindner asked people to help pay for it and he'd field a contender. I realize this wasn't going to be the year, and we need to rebuild the farm system, but I really hope he doesn't forget his promise to the fans.
Vote ID : 379927 Limited entrances,Lousy aux scoreboard along the lines, poor concessions, yes I am out of my seat for more than a inning trying to goto concessions. The concession help is so slow and unorganised. Will not atend a game if the only seats available are the one angled, aisles should have been angled too. You will only see one third of the game for traffic. The vendors do not come down the aisle because teh concession lines are so long teh park up in behind and let the people come to them. If tehy wanted to make a field deserving of the tradition, they should have made on equal to or better than Jacobs field. This place is a disgrace. If oonly 20,000 people are there it is a great place to watch a game if you can get into a higher price seat. There is nothing exciting about the place, it has no character.
Vote ID : 379929 Food Prices- But who does
Vote ID : 379935 prices!!!!
Vote ID : 379940 The better seats are way to pricey.
Vote ID : 379941 prices of food there rediculous.
Vote ID : 379945 The product that was supposed to be on the field deterred me from even wanting to watch games there. I can't even stand to watch more than 2 innings of a game on tv. Get a respectable "Major League" team and people will show up and see what a great stadium the Reds have. Don't let the Reds become the Bengals of baseball!!!!
Vote ID : 379949 ?
Vote ID : 379950 ?
Vote ID : 379952 Utterly generic. Would it have killed us to make something more daring?
Vote ID : 379953 Kind of average looking compared to the newer parks in other cities.
Vote ID : 379954 no real fireworks. smoke hovering over playing field. awful between inning "entertainment" pepsi cannons. loud annoying trivia people. we don't need to be bombarded with that crap between every half inning. the park is not as beautiful as it should be. it's a cookie cutter like cinergy was, just in the new style.
Vote ID : 379955 I LIKED IT ALL. ANYTIME I CAN GET TO THE PARK IT'S GREAT...
Vote ID : 379956 The team that is currently playing on it!
Vote ID : 379961 There is nothing "special" to do at the park. There is no reason for anyone to show up early at the park because there is nothing to see beyond the field and nothing to do beyond eat and drink. I think there should be something extra there.
Vote ID : 379963 the Noise makers that they sell, sitting in front of someone hitting your seat trying to make noise
Vote ID : 379965 Beer prices are a rip off
Vote ID : 379967 the cheap seats are, well...i mean, i know you're supposed to get what you pay for, but seriously! when you're in the top several rows, why'd they even bother building those? the refreshment prices are asinine. also, for vegetarians who'd prefer the veggie dog--you're cooking them right next to the big meaties, in all the juices! the lines at the refreshment stands are at times insufferably long. the between-inning crap is annoying, detracts from the beauty and intensity of the game. the team was terrible, but i understand. i think the moves this season made sense...i would have liked to see this kind of overhaul 5 years ago instead of now, but, what'cha gonna do?
Vote ID : 379973 the cincinnati reds team. there is no hope for the coming years!
Vote ID : 379978 The office buildings being the facade of the ball park.
Vote ID : 379979 they is no flair to the place. It is so bland and not edgy. It seems like it is afraid to take a stance. I needed to have more pizzaz
Vote ID : 379981 The stadium looks great in alot of area's.... Then you go to other parts of the stadium and it clearly looks like it is a cost cutting move. This is a brand new stadium and personally I don't even think it is in the 15 stadiums in MLB. You can't tell me that there wasn't anyone looking at Pac Bell.... That is a real stadium..... This isn't rocket science... I can't believe that nobody could figure this out.
Vote ID : 379983 pepsi power stacks - bring back the kroger fireworks! Get rid of Gapper, too!
Vote ID : 379984 Needs to be louder for a home run. Either louder fireworks or a steam whistle?
Vote ID : 379990 parking, futher away from the river than i hoped
Vote ID : 379991 The poor aesthetic design of the interior. Parts of it are unpainted and a lot of it just looks like concrete slabs with wires and other stuff stuck to it. The smokestacks and the outfield design is better, but a bit garish.
Vote ID : 379992 Gapper / Lack of memorbilia in the Machine Room Restaurant
Vote ID : 379999 the finish. It feels the red seats expaned from riverfront. Because of the Bengals lease the Reds were forced to go on the chaep for finish, on the interior and exterior. It shows, espcially when compared to other parks
Vote ID : 380000 The smokestacks seem very cartoonish. I would have much preferred an "older" look. It would fit more with the stadium, and give it an elegant look rather than more of the disneyland look that it has now.
Vote ID : 380001 It's already a dump. Bathrooms have fixtures falling off the walls. They already smell. The seats the are turned towards the field don't have enough leg room. It's just very ordinary. Nothing special at all.
Vote ID : 380006 Location... it's shoe-horned into a bad spot that has absolutely no sense of community. The concourses seem isolated from the action. I love the standing room sections, but hate that tickets are sold for them. These areas are open to all, so when seat-ticket holders and passers-by linger among the standing-ticket holders, the areas can become very crowded. Instead of standing room, sell some poor seating sections for $5 and enable transient crowds to comfortably enjoy these communal areas.
Vote ID : 380008 The park borrows too much from other parks instead of creating its own identity. It should have seen more of Crosley in it...a direct recreation would have been nice, but you can't always relive the past.
Vote ID : 380009 The seating isn't very convenient for a tall person like myself; if someone wants to walk down my row, I have to get up in order to make room for them. Also, the WLW booth does not have a banner like it did at Riverfront / Cinergy. I still can't tell where to look up to see Marty and Joe.
Vote ID : 380012 The seats are too small
Vote ID : 380014 The smokestacks after a a homerun or a Reds win. If you keep the smokestacks, at least bring back the original LOUD fireworks displayed at Riverfront Stadium to add a little excitement!
Vote ID : 380015 I wish the seats were a bit more spread out but other than that everything is great.
Vote ID : 380017 The batters eye and the smoke stacks look out of place and cheap!!
Vote ID : 380018 I think it's too gaudy, there's nothing really original about it. I feel like when I go there that I'm seven other ballparks.
Vote ID : 380019 There is no sense of Cincinnati's baseball history once you sit down.
Vote ID : 380021 Concession prices are a horrifying joke. How can a company in conscience get away with these prices!?!?
Vote ID : 380022 The owner's refusal to put a good product in the park. Lindner is turning into Mike Brown - Build me a brand new stadium so I can make more money and I'll put the worst team I can out there.
Vote ID : 380025 food prices to high
Vote ID : 380028 The first base side and museam are not complete
Vote ID : 380032 the smokestack are a bust, unless they can find a way to make them EXPLODE with sounds.... and the fact that if you are down the left field line you cannot see the scoreboard...But also the location of the main scoreboard is very bad in the afternoon when the sun reflects off of it.
Vote ID : 380036 Cost, food selection is narrow comparitively, the big black structure in the outfield, the gap, don't like the architectural attempt to combine traditional with contemporary
Vote ID : 380037 Food Prices
Vote ID : 380041 price on food. and wait
Vote ID : 380052 field level seats are blocked by standing fans and are to low.
Vote ID : 380056 The lack of historic references in the seating bowl and on the field. The batters eye is a neat feature if you are inside it watching the game but is an eye sore from any place else in the ballpark. It needs to be dressed up. The Auxilary "scoreboards" are nothing more than billboards for advertisers, the poor people in the bleacher seats and in the left field stands get ZERO information on the batters or on the pitchers who are warming up. They are a waste and need to be improved.
Vote ID : 380057 You need another escalator from the ground to the upper deck next to the current one so that one can go up and one down from the 7th inning on and both go down after the game. The cheap seats are only 1 axe-handle wide and I have a 2 axe-handle butt!
Vote ID : 380068 The Ushers
Vote ID : 380070 Users being TOO STRICT!!!; team put on the field in second half, NO REAL FIREWORKS...>BRING BACK THE FIREWORKS!!!
Vote ID : 380077 The ribbon scoreboard are terrible. Too much advertising, not enough info.
Vote ID : 380079 The color scheme. The white trim and the red seats - I think a dark green would have looked more professional. They also wouldn't stand out so much on those non-sellout games! Too many advertisements - signs, billboards, etc.
Vote ID : 380086 I think with the rich history of baseball in this city, Cincinnati deserved something very special. They hype didn't live up to it's billing. This ballpark, while adequate, isn't anything special. Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, Arizona, Texas, San Francisco all have better stadiums. There is nothing here to create an atmosphere. The mark was missed.
Vote ID : 380090 the team that plays there
Vote ID : 380092 price of food
Vote ID : 380094 not the park, the city letting bums live under the highways in the area

Vote ID : 380109 N/A
Vote ID : 380111 High dropoffs from the second/third deck concourse to the walkways below, i.e. Crosley Terrace, the "bridge" in the gap, etc. If someone drops something heavy onto the crowd below...HEADS UP!!!!!!
Vote ID : 380112 the team is a loser
Vote ID : 380115 Too much blank concrete
Vote ID : 380119 Carl Lindner
Vote ID : 380121 ticket prices
Vote ID : 380122 When you sit in left field right behind the wall, you can't see the main scoreboard and jumbo tron. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that. They need to put another scoreboard on the other side. Experiment for yourself and see if you can see it. Sit like maybe 6 rows back from the wall and you won't be able to see it.
Vote ID : 380123 Not nearly as nice as PNC Park, and it was built later
Vote ID : 380125 Prices..and the product on the field (in the 2nd half)
Vote ID : 380126 Location, and poor design of the first base concourse. It is so narrow that concession lines back up and block the entire concourse. Just like what occurred at Cinergy.
Vote ID : 380128 the exterior from the downtown side is less than desireable. it could have been much more attractive from this angle. the smokestakes are hokey and obstruct views of the field.
Vote ID : 380129 the players stink
Vote ID : 380130 The slope of the field box seats is too shallow -- kids can't see over the heads in front.
Vote ID : 380131 The concourses can be very narrow when the concession lines are long.
Vote ID : 380141 The number of open concessions stands. I have season tickets, and on weeknights I have to walk halfway around the stadium for my favorite foods there-- Skyline and nachos.
Vote ID : 380145 access from the parking lots
Vote ID : 380149 The incompleteness. Should be better with the HoF next year.
Vote ID : 380153 The team that is playing in the new park. It doesn't feel very Cincinnati-like. Somewhat boring
Vote ID : 380154 The upper deck seating is still too high. Too many luxury boxes make upper level seating worse than they should be. It should have been a double-decked stadium like Pittsburgh.Also remove the smoke-stacks.They obstruct views of the field.
Vote ID : 380157 Food $ too high
Vote ID : 380159 The smokestacks are too much. The Reds have more history that 90% of the franchises they do not need gimmicks such as smokestacks, Gapper, Mr. Red races. I also found the quality of food to be lacking. The popcorn was stale, the hot dogs were average at best.
Vote ID : 380162 The concourses are still too small. It takes 10 minutes to leave the park at the end of the game.
Vote ID : 380163 no parking. baseball is getting expensive, both tickets and food. and parking. it's downtown. bums, kids pounding drums. long walk from parking.
Vote ID : 380168 ushers
Vote ID : 380171 I think a kinder-garten child could have architecturally built the stadium better.
Vote ID : 380172 the players or should I say minor league players that we are paying to see
Vote ID : 380175 The teams dismantling. Horrible product. No vision for the team. Treatment of Barry Larkins return or lack of. Front office communication with the fans. Give us a break, we're not all stupid. The park is fine, give us something to be proud of on the field.
Vote ID : 380178 NOTHING
Vote ID : 380179 the "reds theme" music by blessed union of souls
Vote ID : 380196 In the Machine Room, no videos of the Big Red machine playing.....they should be replaying the world series games of 75 and 76.....all 11 of them...
Vote ID : 380199 The walk to seating in the upper decks
Vote ID : 380203 The batters eye restaurant in center field has got to go. Wished they would have not put it there & landscaped that area with grass & trees completely. Also from center to right field bullpen, sans the smokestacks, is missing something.
Vote ID : 380204 It's not Riverfront/Cinergy. People only use the main entrance to exit the park.
Vote ID : 380205 Smoke stacks need to make a loud noise, like the fog horn on a riverboat
Vote ID : 380209 Small
Vote ID : 380213 batters eye
Vote ID : 380222 If you don't have a seat with a view of the main scoreboard then you are lost. The aux. scoreboards are totally inadequate. It is almost impossible to read the information and I have 20/20 vision. Couldn't the aux scoreboard area be expanded a little and the ads shrunk a little. I realize they are always going to be ribbon boards devoted to advertising, but the space cold be shrunk a little to allow larger text and more information. Location. The location of the stadium sucks. What is there to do around the stadium? Where are the bars and restaurants? The InBetween bar has raised their prices so much it is cheaper to eat at the park!
Vote ID : 380224 smokestacks - I liked the old fireworks better. Also the auxilliary scoreboards are terrible. When you sit in the bleachers, you can't see the main scoreboard and the other scoreboards don't tell you anything. It would be nice if they at least would tell you the name of the batter and batting average.
Vote ID : 380225 the extremely narrow concources behind 1st base side...absolutely terrible....and also what is that no. 5 on that plain concrete wall ha ha
Vote ID : 380234 Concourse area is not deep enough. The concession lines take up all the area to the back of the seats.
Vote ID : 380238 The smokestacks.
Vote ID : 380242 If your sitting up high in left field you cannot see the main scoreboard
Vote ID : 380250 Nothing really stood out.
Some negative fans. At one game I had to tell a crappy and mouthy fan that it was a family baseball game. He was using foul language a lot, and worst of all he was with business partners, I mean were professionals acting like asses!!!!
Vote ID : 380258 Scoreboard view for fans seated in left field
Vote ID : 380259 The atmosphere that was created towards fans based on the fact that the front office did not stress fan friedlines from player towards fans (esp. children).
Vote ID : 380260 Beer is so expensive.

Vote ID : 380303 The scenery behind the outfield.
Vote ID : 380304 Very bland
Vote ID : 380306 The Reds--get a decent ballteam and I might consider going to a game. The owners are nothing but greedy s.
Vote ID : 380310 Getting in and out of the park is far too slow. There are too few access points as compared to Cinergy Field (where nearly every section had a direct exit) and pedestrian traffic around the area is quite crowded.
Vote ID : 380313 Lines at the concessions made it difficult to walk down the concourse. Poorly designed.
Vote ID : 380316 The team was a disappointment in the 2nd half. When you sit down the 3rd base line seats you have to turn around almost completely to see the scoreboard in left field...Would have been better if the huge scoreboard would have been in center. I love the ball park though.
Vote ID : 380320 ON OPENING DAY I SAT IN THE LOWER SECTION OF THE OUTFIELD RIGHT NEXT TO THE FOUL POLE. I WAS DISIPOINTED THAT THE AUX. SCOREBOARD HAD NO INFORMATION ON THE PLAYER WHO WAS BATTING. ALL THAT WAS MOSTLY SHOWN WAS THE ADVERTISEMENTS. MORE STATS COULD BE ADDED ALONG WITH UPDATED SCORES FROM AROUND THE LEAGUE. I HEARD THE MAIN SCOREBOARD WAS AWESOME BUT FROM WHERE I WAS SITTING WE COULDN'T SEE IT.
Vote ID : 380321 LINES TO LONG
Vote ID : 380325 Riverfront location. And all the God-awful in your face ads especially from Great American Insurance.
Vote ID : 380327 CARL LINDNER'S UNWILLINGNESS TO PUT A WINNING TEAM ON THE FIELD......THE FANS DESERVE MUCH BETTER THAN THE TEAM WE HAVE NOW.....IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ON THE FIELD EVEN CLOSE TO A BIG RED MACHINE THE PLACE WOULD BE PACKED EVERY GAME.....PEOPLE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN SEEING A LOSING BASEBALL TEAM
Vote ID : 380329 The ball park is to small for major league hitters. The fences need to be moved back.
Vote ID : 380334 same as cinergy field basically
Vote ID : 380336 Security is oppressive. It is insulting and humilating to be treated as a suspect. No one should have to be subject to searches of their personal property just for attending a baseball game. What are they looking for and what would they do if they found it? Smoking Areas!! NOT enough of them.
Vote ID : 380341 losing team
Vote ID : 380345 i dislike the fact that management has failed to put a competetive team on the field for several years now, lying to the public about 2003 being the year the reds would compete and then dismantling the team at midseason. they have ripped off the taxpayer
Vote ID : 380346 No fireworks after a home run or a victory.
Vote ID : 380352 They need better beer at more places and maybe even have better beer offered at the seats. Warsteiners especially.
Vote ID : 380355 There's nothing I DISLIKE, really, although the gift shop upstairs is way too cramped. Will there be a roomier one in the building that's under construction?
Vote ID : 380360 none
Vote ID : 380362 Seats are uncomfortable. Need a bit more leg room. The drunks at the games make it a bad time too.
Vote ID : 380366 location,somewhat congested at this location.
Vote ID : 380371 The prices on everything are a bit too high
Vote ID : 380372 lack of color...plain concrete
Vote ID : 380374 The sorry product that takes the field.

Vote ID : 380389 Weak fireworks when homerun is hit
Vote ID : 380390 no game action replays on jumbotron
Vote ID : 380391 it doesn't have a thing that sticks out and causes people to come back time after time. i.e. Pac Bell and the right field water, fenway and the green monster. minute maid and the train.
Vote ID : 380394 the idiots who designed it put no ventilation in the concession stands. i will never volunteer my time to work there again
Vote ID : 380400 Can't see main scoreboard from left field seats--this is a major drawback to the stadium. Auxiliary scoreboards are not that good
Vote ID : 380404 Exiting the stadium from the first base side seats was very difficult. It will be nice when all of the adjoining construction is done so people can exit to their vehicles and get on the highways more easily.
Vote ID : 380405 Not enough reference to "The Big Red Machine",with appropriate monuments to at a minimum: Rose, Morgan, Bench, Perez, and Sparky.
Vote ID : 380406 The fireworks are not powerful enough... kind of just "fizzle". Also, the seats rows are not far enough apart.
Vote ID : 380411 Very disappointed that I bought season tickets with the promise of a competetive team and after the all-stare break I couldn't find anyone who wanted to go to the games with me. I will not be renewing my tickets.
Vote ID : 380413 weak effort for fireworks from stacks. first base side main concourse is much narrower than third base,cramping traffic flow.
Vote ID : 380416 On the lower concourse, unlike most newer stadiums, there isn't an uninterrupted view of the field.........parking is in short supply.....and a little thing, on the auxiliary scoreboards, there isn't a mention of the batter, meaning unless you sit in view of the main scoreboard, or like me you bring your radio, you have no idea who's at bat.
Vote ID : 380417 Get ride of the smokestacks in the outfield and bring back the barge!
Vote ID : 380418 The plexiglass in front of the first row of many of the upper deck seating areas. It distorts the view.
Vote ID : 380420 smoke stacks are absolutely atrocious
Vote ID : 380437 High prices for a crummy team of millionaires

Vote ID : 380454 Location, Architecture
Vote ID : 380457 concession prices and the long lines.
Vote ID : 380460 The slope of the seating in the upper decks. If someone if front of you leans forward their body block your view.
Vote ID : 380462 That it is in Ohio, and I am in Texas.
Vote ID : 380463 Expenses season tickets seat behind dugouts are terrible with constant people in the aisles blocking views. Concession on first base side are slow and inadequate. Long time season ticket holder got a raw deal on seats.
Vote ID : 380465 high food prices, no mention of history within seating bowl, no terrace in left field, not close enough to river
Vote ID : 380467 Parking was poorly marked. I just followed a line of cars and almost ended up going over a bridge to Kentucky
Vote ID : 380469 The team
Vote ID : 380470 there's no top six behind home plate for $5
Vote ID : 380471 food and drinks are too expensive. The tallstacks produce too much smoke. Only use them when the Reds homer not other teams.
Vote ID : 380474 Lack of "real" scoreboard information on the ribbon boards. Nothing bu constant commercials. Gets pretty tiring for someone sitting in left field.
Vote ID : 380475 Aside from the viewscreen (or Jumbo-tron, or whatever it's called), the main scoreboard is pretty lame. It works fine for conveying game or player data, but it fails miserably when it comes to graphics. That monochromatic display just doesn't cut it. Also, given that the ballpark is so geared toward honoring the club's past, the retired number displays are rather underwhelming. Pet Peeve: The much touted replica Longinnes Clock isn't.
Vote ID : 380476 The team they put in there to play in it.
Vote ID : 380477 Besides the team on the field, parking.
Vote ID : 380478 Entering the ballpark from one gateway is nice, but frustrating if your seats are on the opposite side of the stadium. Also, the auxillary scoreboards, when seen alone, are horrible. In order to understand what is going on/enjoy the game, one must be sitting in sight of the large scoreboard.

Vote ID : 380480 Bland, poor location blocked by a highway. No character. AWFUL TEAM AND ORGANIZATION. PATHETIC. It's not the package, it's the product, stupid!!
Vote ID : 380485 the right field concourse, and how far away you have to park from the ballpark
Vote ID : 380488 the team
Vote ID : 380490 That huge black "shed" in Center field.....it doesn't fit the design of the rest of the park. So much more could have been done to highlight the river view while still ensuring a good backdrop for the hitters. Look at other parks....grass, landscaping, fountains, etc.. Greed for additional seating results in a really bad look.....tear it out!
Vote ID : 380493 prices
Vote ID : 380494 area behind home plate with best views are priced out of reach of normal people, and were have full most of the season
Vote ID : 380496 The side scoreboards - all adds, no information & the fireworks are silent
Vote ID : 380497 I think it lacks a wide variety of foods. I've been to other ballparks like SafeCo Field in Seattle and they had a much wider range of foods.
Vote ID : 380498 1)Exterior architecture 2)Ugly batter's eye/party room 3)Homerun smokestacks 4)Retired uniform numbers shoud be more pronounced (i.e backlit in neon) 5)Too much concrete and no color
Vote ID : 380505 The fireworks do not make noise, and takes to long to exit
Vote ID : 380507 The seating seemed more cramped than the old ballpark
Vote ID : 380513 Concession prices, this is the only reason that I will not renew my season tickets. Lack of parking.
Vote ID : 380514 2 things: a) How Mr. Linder was able to name the ballpark after one of his companies b) The team on the field
Vote ID : 380522 The team that plays there
Vote ID : 380525 Batter's Eye restaurant is a real eyesore. Smokestacks obstruct some bleacher seats (inexcusable). Plaza is terrible (although the jury is still out). Food is nothing to write home about.
Vote ID : 380526 long walk from parking lot to stadium
Vote ID : 380527 Smoke stacks are hookey, not enough seat room.
Vote ID : 380528 The prices do not allow your every day family to go and enjoy what baseball is all about.
Vote ID : 380529 No comment.
Vote ID : 380531 Cost to taxpayers. City cowtowing to greedy sports owners.
Vote ID : 380532 parking for season ticket holders is very confusing!
Vote ID : 380539 Costs a lot for food for our family
Vote ID : 380540 The team, ownership.
Vote ID : 380543 Interior is bland, especially compared to the Jake, there is no "energy" that I have seen in other ballparks. The Advertising strip banners are very annoying. The homerun stacks are lame
Vote ID : 380544 How the various sections are not connected. You have to exit one section to get into another.
Vote ID : 380548 The Cincinnati Reds.
Vote ID : 380549 Parking
Vote ID : 380550 I HATE! HATE! HATE! HATE! THE SMOKE STACKES!!!!!!! Maybe we should take a clue from other small market clubs like Oakland and throw out that $1 beer and dog night!
Vote ID : 380552 nothing
Vote ID : 380555 there is nothing that really stands out about the park from others. It has gone from one type of cookie cutter stadium to another type.
Vote ID : 380559 the team we ended up with. This is a disgrace to the rich history of Cincinnati, and its fans
Vote ID : 380561 Long wait times for food iteams.
Vote ID : 380562 Rough, raw and doesn't feel as nice as ANY of the new baseball stadiums of the last 10 years. Feels cheap
Vote ID : 380565 Prices and Team on the field
Vote ID : 380566 Food Service
Vote ID : 380570 GAB looks like a Drees home as opposed to a custom built home. I've been to about a dozen ball parks, including a half a dozen newer parks. GAB is nice but not in the same league as the others.
Vote ID : 380572 the food prices
Vote ID : 380579 concession costs are way to high to take family often
Vote ID : 380580 It's what I like least about all new construction. As opposed to buildings built by my great grandfather's generation and the like which seem to have withstood the test of time. For example, I would have liked to have seen more brick and less concrete. If only the Reds' would have overrun costs instead of the Bengals.
Vote ID : 380581 Way too busy. I feel like I am being smacked in the face with advertisements, since they are everywhere. The interior architeture has no consistency at all. There are too many gimmicks between innings. The whole place needs to be toned down a lot.
Vote ID : 380582 The restaurant (or whatever it is) out in center field . . . looks out of place and an eyesore.
Vote ID : 380583 the fact that the city dropped the ball on developing a surrounding entertainment district.
Vote ID : 380584 only one way in and out
Vote ID : 380585 constant advertisements on ribbon message boards, goofy smokestacks with pepsi logos, general hokey atmosphere, obnoxious entertainment between innings
Vote ID : 380586 Need more access to non-national beer on tap. Upper level seats are sky high, and offer a poor viewing experience. More food selection, with MUCH more diversity.
Vote ID : 380590 Way, WAY to busy. Feels like it was designed by an architecture student who needed to fit every idea into the project.
Vote ID : 380592 PRICES, A TEAM THAT CAN COMPETE
Vote ID : 380593 the fact that there is a minor leauge manager and players in it
Vote ID : 380599 The customer service - from the Machine Room to the ushers to the Reds sales staff. No customer service - people are treated like dirt.
Vote ID : 380601 The team Linder has fielded (obvious answer). I like the stacks but would like to see fireworks at the end of the game. I loved knowing the Reds won wherever I was downtown.
Vote ID : 380602 Sitting under the left field bleachers and couldn't see the scoreboard. I didn't know who was at bat.
Vote ID : 380609 that it doesn't sit right next to river, no home runs can be hit in it, but i'm not complaining i really enjoyed ballpark
Vote ID : 380610 slope of the seats
Vote ID : 380611 not enough Pete Rose representation
Vote ID : 380612 the areas right next to the smokestacks...it's impossible to see half the outfield. they should have put seats in the "Sycamore gap" and let the the areas next to the smokstacks remain empty
Vote ID : 380613 CONCESSION PRICES ARE WAY TOO HIGH. TEAM ( REDS ) SUCKS. GAPPER. WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS ? GAPPER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. REDS VERSION OF JAR-JAR BINKS.
Vote ID : 380616 Seemed very similar to Cinergy field (after the wedge was cut and the grass was installed). Lacked old time feel.
Vote ID : 380621 Wait time at concessions is horrible. Workers not trained, don't hussle. Oh wait, neither do the players or front office. Yes a shot at the organization, but true. No heart or pride. Very embarrasing for the city with rest of the country. Reds, enjoy our stadium.
Vote ID : 380625 smokestacks, Batter's eye
Vote ID : 380629 The architecture is a jumble of parts, some of which are interesting by themselves but that cohesively give no overall feel to the park.
Vote ID : 380632 I admit I'm a taditionalist and behind the times, but I think the game should the entertainment, not this experience thing. It was good to get the Reds out of the football stadium that someone figured out a way to play baseball in. I think you should have looked more at places like Coors Field in Denver or Minute Made Park in Houston for guidance.
Vote ID : 380639 The view to Kentucky. The retired numbers behind homeplate.
Vote ID : 380642 The exterior archetecture is so bland. It looks like the P&G Annex. The neon is garish and is not consistent with the historic nature of the team. This is what you get when you allow a "bean counter" have sway on the design of a ballpark. It is just catastrophic.
Vote ID : 380644 Beer and food prices are way too high
Vote ID : 380648 I did not like how if you payed for a 5.00 ticket the incredible walk that you had to endure. Only the handicapped could use the elevators. ALso, the food was good. You offered a nice variety, but it was expensive and seemed too over-priced for even a ball park. Long lines were difficult too.
Vote ID : 380649 It is "walled off" from downtown,the entry is a bottleneck of people, and there ARE, contrary to the official line, too many support columns in the area under the stands that should be open for pedestrian traffic. I feel like a sardine! Also the vendors are ALWAYS in my way, there are more people trying to be on the "big screen" than are watching the game. I think it is designed to be a park for the "A.D.D." - - -way too many distractions, "entertainment" as you refer to it in question 14. Your expert architects panel was right on. What a hodge podge of design elements. BUT perhaps the most noteworthy is that it is only attractive from the other side of the river. Nothing was done to "connect" it with the city center. I am totally disappointed! But then again, this is from a city that was thinking of putting an aquarium on top of a building.
Vote ID : 380650 What's not to like? It's easy to get to, park and get out in a reasonable amount of time. If the product on the field were better than the current minor league mish-mash, there would likely be full houses most of the time. A big "boo" to Lindner and the boys for using the "if you build it, fans will come" approach. Without competitive teams, look for "crowds" in the 10,000-12,000 bracket if the play on the field doesn't shape up. For an example, look at Cleveland. Bring on a team, and the fans will bring on the crowds. Don't say that you haven't been well warned. I am sure that I am not alone in my thinking.
Vote ID : 380655 the site
Vote ID : 380656 The concession lines are awful.You miss at least half the game buying a pretzel.The food is so expensive.It seems like I have to bring a 20 to buy a 20oz. pop, hot dog, and a pretzel.
Vote ID : 380659 The quality of the team on the field. No attractions outside of the stadium. There is nothing to do before the game. Ridiculous food prices.
Vote ID : 380668 Those home run smoke stacks! They remind me of dud roman candals
Vote ID : 380670 the price of concessions ($2.50 for a skyliner)and the smokestacks
Vote ID : 380673 The Scoreboards: The main scoreboard is invisible to 1/3 the park. The smaller scoreboards are too bright and busy, distracting from the game. I still see lasers and the words "Dr. Pepper" in my sleep.
Vote ID : 380678 55
Vote ID : 380684 Too many gimmicks between innings. The old Mr. Red race was far superior to the current one.
Vote ID : 380691 Position of main scoreboard should've been placed in the center of the park. I made the mistake of sitting on the third base side of the park one time and I couldn't see the main board. It sucked. I also like to see the speed of each pitch and I couldn't see that either from where I was sitting. I think it is very sad that they didn't make the ballpark closer to the river, so that you have a chance to hit it into the river.
Vote ID : 380695 prices
Vote ID : 380697 The view looking out, even though it couldn't have been built with the view of the city, it would have been nice.
Vote ID : 380699 I think there were to many cost-cutting matters taken that it could have been a lot better park, but instead we got an OK park, instead of great...
Vote ID : 380700 The prices of food and beverages are ridiculous!
Vote ID : 380701 The seats are too small and I am 6', 180 lbs. The concession prices are ridiculous.
Vote ID : 380705 The theme or architecture is very unappealing--quite a disappointment. While ticket costs are reasonable, parking and concessions are a complete rip off.
Vote ID : 380707 Not incorporating the river in the actual ballpark (i.e. Pac Bell Park)
Vote ID : 380708 New ballpark, same rude ushers. The park was built on the cheap - unadorned concrete facades dominate. 1st base side concourse is way too small to accomodate consessions and maintain easy egress.
Vote ID : 380710 the black double-wide trailer that is center field batter's eye. grow some vine on it or something. it's horrible.
Vote ID : 380713 I think the private, glass enclosed restaurant in right field is a waste of space. When you aree inside, it's as if you're not even at the game. You might as well stay home and watch it on TV. Club 4192, on the other hand, is awesome!
Vote ID : 380715 Gapper.The concourse on the first base line needs to be wider.I miss the big boom of the fireworks at Riverfront.
Vote ID : 380716 lack of nearby affordable parking too many of the same concessions
Vote ID : 380717 food prices
Vote ID : 380719 Very bush league activities between innings - and sometimes during innings - on camera fan activity, commercials, commercials, commercials, noise, noise, noise. Lousy music. And those smokestacks are really, really tacky.
Vote ID : 380721 Where's the history inside? The retired #'s are much less prominent and interesting than they were at Riverfront. Also, where are their signs/banners/etc. from pennants and World Series? If they are there, I didn't see them from my seat, and that's a shame. Finally, why have flagpoles for NL standings and then never have flags up (at least the times I was there or from what I heard from season ticket holding friends)?
Vote ID : 380725 Vendor prices are hopelessly overpriced. A fair profit is one thing, holding the taxpayers and fans that contributed to the cost of building this stadium is outrageous.
Vote ID : 380728 The traffic pattern outside the stadium and inside the concourse is poorly designed and leads to congestion. The smokestacks look cheap and the blackhouse is an eyesore.
Vote ID : 380730 You can see a greater part of the playing field, and seats are closer to the field.
Vote ID : 380732 That you don't use the loud fireworks for a homerun or winning game. Bring back the BOOM!!!!!!
Vote ID : 380739 There seems to be more people using fewer concessions. I know there are more point of sales, but it doesn't seem to be that way. I also don't like the notch. the batter's eye
Vote ID : 380740 the blandness
Vote ID : 380743 the Gap in the seating bowl doesn't work because somebody got greedy and decided to put a club suite in the spot blocking an actual view into and out of the park! But the bridge viewing deck is good. Take out that suite so the Gap looks and functions the way it was intended to, instead of a construction goof.
Vote ID : 380745 it is hard to convince out of town guests to spend all that money on seats, parking, food, etc. when the team sucks so bad.
Vote ID : 380746 They wasted a great opportunity to make it feel like a part of the riverfront - it doesn't utilize its surroundings in the architecture. Nothing makes it really stand out compared to other new parks.
Vote ID : 380747 First of all, I don't think the ballpark has its own defining character or indiviudual distinguishing features. I would much rather see a game at Oriole Park at Camden Yard, PAC Bell at Candlestick Park, or even PNC Park. I don't like the view of the Ohio River and Kentucky. The outside of the ballpark is too ordinary. It just looks like a brick building. There is nothing that grabs you when you see it or if you're in it. And, the beer is too expensive. Honestly, even if the team stunk up the place I am sure more 20-somethings like myself would head down to the ballpark in decent numbers to catch a game and drink some cheap beer.
Vote ID : 380754 undewhelmed by architecture of park - ordinary vs. Cleveland stadium
Vote ID : 380755 The Team..After all the trades!!
Vote ID : 380756 Concession prices are way out of line.
Vote ID : 380757 dd
Vote ID : 380760 Prices (tickets and food)
Vote ID : 380761 exiting at end of game; too much congestion
Vote ID : 380765 the team is a embarassment
Vote ID : 380766 The homerun smoke stacks. I liked the old Boom we used to get, not the fireworks that look like a sparkler.
Vote ID : 380767 the team is horrible.
Vote ID : 380768 CONCESSION STANDS CLOSED ON THE UPPER LEVEL
Vote ID : 380769 The team that plays in it and most of all the people, and I use that term losely, that run the team! John Allen and Carl Lindner have been a HUGE disappointment. You have to spend some money to make some money. If you put a good team on the field that from the start has a chance of winning, people will come.
Vote ID : 380772 Our $150 brick is fading. I think that's too much money to pay and would like it replaced. Also, our seats on the third base side (2nd level) makes it hard to see the left field. I don't like that and we won't renew the season tickets for that reason.
Vote ID : 380774 High pricesx for food and drink.
Vote ID : 380778 The Batters Eye.
Vote ID : 380779 if your in the outfield, with no view of the big scoreboard, you have no idea who is up at bat
Vote ID : 380783 They don't have vegetarian hot dogs that I could ever find like they did before.
Vote ID : 380784 It's not as good as other new ballparks out there (Camden or the Jake or even the BOB).
Vote ID : 380786 Walking from Covington is more difficult now.
Vote ID : 380788 the poor excuse for a team on the field.
Vote ID : 380790 the small scoreboards have too much advertising on them & the scores are pushed to the sides. they should be primarily scoreboards, not billboards!
Vote ID : 380792 that black monstrosity in the right/center field area..........what the heck is up with that ?......either paint it RED, or tear it down.
Vote ID : 380798 the name
Vote ID : 380799 The anemic fireworks from the tall stacks.
Vote ID : 380805 The incredibly stupid and irritating sound effects through out the game, the distracting commercials between innings - the sense that Carl Lindner is trying to get me to buy crap and, far worse, that baseball games need to be trumped up with whirly sounds and pinball effects, as if it's a Saturday morning cartoon.
Vote ID : 380808 Overpriced concessions
Vote ID : 380811 high prices for food and drink
Vote ID : 380814 The quality of the Reds team that plays in it.
Vote ID : 380815 The food and beverage prices are outrageous! Hamilton county taxpayers already flipped a large bill to build the stadium, and now must pay close to $50 to feed a family of four hot dogs and fries! And its very difficult to see the main scoreboard from certain seats in the ballpark.
Vote ID : 380817 The supposed "professional Major League caliber" baseball team of our home team.
Vote ID : 380818 I think some of the advertisement is a little cheesy.

Vote ID : 380839 It's still very bland and character lacking. Too much concrete, not enough brick. Overall, I think they've managed to give a cookie cutter feel to the retro style. Way to go.
Vote ID : 380841 plenty of food, but nothing for the kids.
Vote ID : 380842 plenty of food, but nothing for the kids.
Vote ID : 380844 Barry Larkin on the field......please move him to the front office, his playing days are done.
Vote ID : 380845 The Gap is ridiculous and the batters eye building is a ugly joke.
Vote ID : 380847 number of urinals in bathrooms
Vote ID : 380849 THE TEAM
Vote ID : 380851 long aisles on the lower levels- fans walking up and down block your view
Vote ID : 380853 The congestion around the conession stands seemed to delay service.
Vote ID : 380854 things just don't seem to tie all together...it looks like the design never quite got finished
Vote ID : 380857 Lack of decoration/architecture inside. Cannot see main scoreboard from some sections. Hate the long advertisement boards that could be used for more scoreboards.
Vote ID : 380858 quality of team
Vote ID : 380862 Concourse crowding can be an issue entering/exiting. The architecture is too busy, and rather ugly. Doesn't have an overall traditional feel to it.

Vote ID : 380868 The Reds team
Vote ID : 380869 The lack of the signature "boom" of fireworks after a Red's home run or victory (and the fact that we didn't have the chance to see much of either this year).
Vote ID : 380870 The AAA team we have filled it with. They are playing hard, but the fans deserve better. What a slap in the face.
Vote ID : 380871 We are senior citizens and I don't like the high prices of food and the long walk from parking lots and garages
Vote ID : 380873 I am a season ticket holder 2 rows behind Diamond. The walk to smoke a cigarette is much to long and not fair. Further the wait for food in lines (if I choose not to use in-seat services) are too long and the employees too slow. They need to offer mixed cocktails in our seats instead of just beer and Mike's Hard Lemonade.
Vote ID : 380874 Still appears to be a little too plain jane to me. Needs more Character items like coke bottles on the light posts or someting unique other than the smoke stacks. I wish they would change the law on the fireworks. The ones we use suck. The batters eye looks like .
Vote ID : 380875 It's ugly outside and wasted its proximity to the river.
Vote ID : 380879 The team that was put on the field in the 2nd half of the season. Injuries aside, it was an insult to the fans and the area to field a minor league team.
Vote ID : 380880 The team that was put on the field in the 2nd half of the season. Injuries aside, it was an insult to the fans and the area to field a minor league team.
Vote ID : 380881 The product on the field
Vote ID : 380883 The outfield stadium layout is very poor. The green building in center filed needs to be removed and more stand put in.
Vote ID : 380885 Prices of tickets, food, and drinks
Vote ID : 380886 The Seats have an ok view with the exception of the ones by the smoke stacks in right field. And There needs to be another scoreboard on the opposite side of the other one.

Vote ID : 380927 Not enough attention paided too the rich history of the organization. For an organization which was the first professional ball club and had one of the greatest teams ever in the Big Red Machine, you would expect a little more of a connection to the past. That is what makes baseball great, the rich history that it posseses. Please try to include more of the club's past throughout the ballpark.
Vote ID : 380928 Inadequate Parking closer to stadium, ticket prices
Vote ID : 380931 It's not Crosley Field. Miss the fireworks (but the smokestacks are cute). Except for outfield, stands look just like Cinergy Field to me. Should have been built at Broadway Commons. Doesn't have a real team playing there - especially since Aaron Boone and Jose Gielen were traded.
Vote ID : 380936 The black box out in centerfield, and the plain fake grass over the centrfield wall.
Vote ID : 380937 The fact that we traded the entire team.
Vote ID : 380941 There is nothing truly memorable about it. In other words, what is the "signature aspect" of the park? What is it that a fan would remark upon days after a visit? The view of downtown is better in Pittsburgh. The atmosphere in Camden Yards is far better. The architecture in Miller Park is stunning. Pac Bell park and Safeco Field have physical settings on which Cincinnati can't compete. Chicago has the skyline, Yankee Stadium has the city. There's even a grandeur factor to the ballpark in Arlington, with a team that has nearly zip for history. GABP is just new. But it is an island of newness in a sea of nothing much else. You guys have to figure out how to make the place special after the newness factor wears off, especially when the majority of the fan base realizes marketing hope with a AAA-caliber product is a loser's bet.
Vote ID : 380943 The prices of beverages, the wait in concession lines, MY GOSH...when are we going to get parking?
Vote ID : 380945 The ballpark is in an inconvenient location. It is cramped up against the highway on one side and against US Bank centre on the other. The could have chosen a better locale to build the stadium in.
Vote ID : 380952 we were unable to let elderly passengers out at front gate. the distance required for them to walk to and from the car was excessive. i should have had a wheel chair for each of them! i miss the covered yellow seats from riverfront stadium/cinergy field

Vote ID : 380967 Food prices, homeless people around the exterior panhandling before and after games.
Vote ID : 380971 The seats are to close together if your next to a larger person.
Vote ID : 380980 The smoking areas. It is impossible to avoid them. There should be no smoking anywhere inside the stadium.
Vote ID : 380993 The seating configuration does not seem to bring the fans any closer to the field than in Cynergy. It doesn't have an "intimate" feel to the ball park.
Vote ID : 380998 OVERPRICED FOR FOOD AND DRINK. I TOOK MY FAMILY OF 4 AND HAD FREE TICKETS AND STILL COST ME CLOSE TO $100.00.I THINK PEOPLE WORKING THERE SHOULD BE LITTLE MORE FAN FRIENDLY, MY FATHER IS IN A PHOTO IN SCOUTS ALLEY AND I TRIED TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO SEE PICTURE OF THEIR GRANDFATHER. IT WAS LIKE TRYING TO GET INTO THE WHITE HOUSE TO JUST LOOK AT A PICTURE IN SCOUTS ALLEY. I ALSO WAS UPSET THAT WE GOT SOME "THUNDER STICKS" OUTSIDE PARK FOR A CHARITY DONATION. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE COULD NOT TAKE THEM INTO THE PARK, AS THEY COULD BE INFLATED AND SOMEONE COULD BE HIT WITH THEM. YET VENDERS WALK UP AND DOWN ISLES SELLING INFLATABLE BATS (3 FOOT LONG), AND SMALL WOODEN BATS (1 FOOT LONG). A "THUNDER STICK" WOULD HURT SOMEONE LESS THAN EITHER OF THESE ITEMS. THE REDS MISSED THE BOAT WITH THESE AND WERE BEING IDIOTIC ABOUT THE WHOLE THING. MY SON EVEN COMMENTED ABOUT SELLING BATS AND NOT THUNDER STICKS. GIVE ME A BREAK.......
Vote ID : 381000 not enough wins
Vote ID : 381003 The limited number of ways to exit the park when the game is over. I don't remember it be so crowded on the concourses when exiting Cinergy field.
Vote ID : 381004 the bland outside architecture
Vote ID : 381007 too commercial. too much entertainment between innings, too loud. it follows the trend of all the other new stadiums.
Vote ID : 381009 Where are the retired players jerseys...i saw retired numbers but numbers are nothing without jersey's.
Vote ID : 381010 it's expensive! betweeen tickets, food, beer and parking, it can easily runn$100+ for 2 people.
Vote ID : 381011 Canned organ music! Given the rich and colorful of baseball in Cincinnati we deserve a real organ. Its an old time baseball tradition. I loved the one in Crosley it added so much to the experience.
Vote ID : 381012 Food prices
Vote ID : 381014 lines are too long at concessions, miss too much of the game
Vote ID : 381015 lines are too long at concessions, miss too much of the game
Vote ID : 381016 I miss the kabooming fireworks that would go off. Now, we have sissy roman candles! But, I would take no fireworks at all if we could up the payroll and put out a competitive team.
Vote ID : 381017 The Team lacks alot to be desired. The fire sale was a slap in the face of the fans and I won't be back until the reds ownership shows their commitment to the fans.
Vote ID : 381019 how bad the team is in its first year playing there....
Vote ID : 381026 I still thought the concession prices were a little bit steep. I wished the fireworks were louder during homeruns hit during the game. The smokestacks could you a little more power, etc.
Vote ID : 381028 Entrance plaza to the park is uninspiring and difficult to navigate. Overall design is bland.
Vote ID : 381030 All that money!!!! No retractable roof!!!!!!!!
Vote ID : 381033 food and concessions in general are ridiculously priced. seats are not big enough and arent too comfortable
Vote ID : 381036 Tiered pricing is confusing. The facade looks cheap. the concrete makes it look like "cinergy-light". Not a very good ball park, cincinnati. If you've ever left your provincial little town, you'd see that you've been out-classed by every new ball park in the MLB. not to mentioned, the river location is inconvenient and out of the way. There is no "tie" to downtown. Cincinnati messed it up again.
Vote ID : 381039 restrooms
Vote ID : 381041 The location
Vote ID : 381043 This stadium should never have been built on the river. Baseball is a neighborhood game and the stadium should have been built on Broadway Commons. Building it thee would have led to neighborhood bars and restaurants in proximity to the stadium, instead of the island between Fort Washington and the river that we now have. And, pleae don't tell me that the Banks is on the way -- I am done voting for tax increases for downtown development.
Vote ID : 381046 The prices for a seat and for concessions is overpriced for the quality of entertainment on the field.
Vote ID : 381047 The PA and sound system are far too loud; music, announcements, promotions and ads over the PA are a constant and unwelcome distraction from the game.
Vote ID : 381051 The total make over of the team.
Vote ID : 381055 it's not old school like the reds deserve. it's a hodge podge of design with each element trying to please a different group and it comes off rather poor and "cheap"
Vote ID : 381056 team & ownership
Vote ID : 381060 first base side of stadium is too cramped; rows are too close together and there isn't enough room to walk in concourse
Vote ID : 381064 Seems a bit cheap - not much care taken to make a very cohesive or satisfying design
Vote ID : 381065 Exterior looks like any other cheapo building that goes up now days. (Less like Wrigley, and more like Columbus Crew Stadium). Also don't like the view of the bridge beyond left center.
Vote ID : 381068 The Lines in the food Stands.
Vote ID : 381069 The Lines in the food Stands.
Vote ID : 381071 The product on the field. Embarassing. When are the Reds going to pay for some good pitching? We waited 5 years for the management to build this team? That's ridiculous. There is no plan and that's the most disturbing aspect. If the Reds spend some money for a 75-85 million dollar payroll, the fans will show up in droves. I'd go to more games. After the community anted up and paid hundreds of millions on a new ballpark, the Reds management could show some appreciation by putting a team worthy of the ballpark on the field. Take a look at Philadelphia this year and what the Padres have done getting ready to go into their park next year. Same with Cleveland when Jacobs field opened, everything was focused on putting a good team on the field when the new stadium opened. The Reds management has laid an egg on the community. They can make things right by bringing in some quality free agents, like Kevin Millwood and/or Javier Vazquez. We've had enough retreads, thank you very much.

Vote ID : 381121 The batter's eye must come down. It is, in reality, the batter's eyesore. The eastern exterior of the stadium is awful. It looks far too much like Cinergy/Riverfront.
Vote ID : 381122 They lied about MORE concessions. All they did was use the same amount of space and slice up concessions. More concession areas, same amount of space and poor service.
Vote ID : 381127 Leaving the staduim is terrible
Vote ID : 381128 the direct sun
Vote ID : 381129 The BLARING loudspeakers playing rock music and making announcements between innings. (Don't get me wrong; I play in a rock band.) In the left field bleachers, however, the volume of the speakers is almost unbearable.
Vote ID : 381138 the team on the field
Vote ID : 381140 The concourse area behind first base is to narrow.
Vote ID : 381141 seats- they are narrower than those at riverfront and the leg room between rows is less than the old one too
Vote ID : 381143 The auxiliary scoreboards are entirely too small, and don't have enough info. Reduce the size of the advertising boards to make room for more scoreboards info. It is strange to see fireworks but not have any noise. I miss the noise!
Vote ID : 381148 The ticket prices (not just Cincinnati) are hideous. To get cheap seats they are in the nose bleed section. How is a Mom and Dad with three child supposed to afford going to a game? There is NO way a middle income family can justify going to more than one game. If you want baseball to improve make it more family friendly!
Vote ID : 381151 the parking and walking
Vote ID : 381155 Those goofy double-hung windows in the pressbox.
Vote ID : 381156 Horrible...."Ushers" , they think they are there to Police the Stadium, uhh no, let folks do what they want to do in the common area venues of the stadium...
Vote ID : 381158 Not enough chili food areas. Lines for that were too long. Finding our seats once inside the stadium was a little confusing. Better signs inside the stadium to help others find their seats.
Vote ID : 381163 Not enough room along third base side concourse
Vote ID : 381165 Not enough exits in right field seats, it took to long to exit.

Vote ID : 381205 Compared to what PNC, Pac Bell are and what Cincinnati ":SHOULD" have I was disappointed when attending the games this year. There is nothing inside the part that really sets it off other than the smoke stacks. Seems like fans would have paid a little more to get a little nicer stadium. I just see it as a plain new stadium...

Vote ID : 381222 It could have been really a terrific park, truly a Great American Ball Park . . . . but they built it on the cheap. Figures.
Vote ID : 381226 Really nothing to complain about.
Vote ID : 381229 View past the outfield stands...i.e. nothing.
Vote ID : 381237 High prices for tickets to watch a AAA team. High prices for mediocre food.
Vote ID : 381238 THE TERRIBLE TEAM CARL LINDNER HAS PUT IN IT. HE NEEDS TO SELL THE TEAM TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO WIN.
Vote ID : 381246 Stadium is too "busy"! Too much advertising cheapens what little style the park has
Vote ID : 381247 The staff is not very friendly, most of them rarely smile. Too much bare concrete.
Vote ID : 381248 Carl Lindner's stench.
Vote ID : 381249 My chief concern is that many fans in the left field seats have no view of any scoreboard of consequence. The scoreboards that are visible offer virtually no information. That really needs to be addressed. Otherwise, enjoyed the park. Go Reds.
Vote ID : 381254 The minor league team we are forced to watch in a major league stadium.
Vote ID : 381257 Should of been built at Broadway Commons
Vote ID : 381259 That a minor league team plays there. That Carl Linder is involved, and that the tax payers payed for the Stadium under false pre-tenses.
Vote ID : 381261 Small concorse on the 1st base side. compared to the third base side is is cramped.
Vote ID : 381263 The lack of a scoreboard when seats do not face it...it is TERRIBLE...nothing to look at between innings---certainly no entertainment and when the players on the field are not entertainment enough, something must be done to entertain the folks during the between innings...ALSO the BLACK BOX in center field is TERRIBLE TOO...Why not make that resemble a sternwheeler and not the BLACK BOX...I feel somewhere NASA scientists are looking for this BLACK BOX...GET RID OF IT or give it a facelift and make it into something worth looking at.
Vote ID : 381266 The team that is left at the end of the year to play there
Vote ID : 381267 nothing
Vote ID : 381273 Foolish to have segments of music blasting over all the fine speakers. We don't want to take the family to a mini rock concert/disco. This is baseball.

Vote ID : 381278 Parking is horrible.
Vote ID : 381279 The weak fireworks that come out of the smoke stacks. When the Reds played at Cinergy, I used to be able to hear the homerun fireworks from my house in Anderson Twp.

Vote ID : 381303 Can't see scoreboard from Left Field seats.
Vote ID : 381304 The team is a loser!
Vote ID : 381305 I find the architecture to be messy and think that Cincinnati got a second-rate HOK ballpark. There is little cohesion, the nostalgia is forced, there are few elements that one finds truly clever and it will feel dated within ten years.
Vote ID : 381306 Confused architecture. This place could have used the river location to a much greater advantage. I don't care what "they" say. The enviroment feels disassociated not only from downtown but also from the unique river location. Sometimes it feels like "Cinergy light".
Vote ID : 381308 stuff
Vote ID : 381313 The flag pole.
Vote ID : 381315 long lines at food booth and people standing behind the seating talking and eating. Makes no room to walk between them trying to get to your seat ro the bathroom. seat size is about 2 inches too small. very uncomfortable seats.

Vote ID : 381336 SmokeStacks for HR Balls. REALLY A let down. Fireworks SHOULD shoot higher in the air. Really bad for them to go poof and not ZING. Really they should do better with that.. Food Prices were also really a rip off. WIth all the SAFETY stuff one has to go to today, One can not even bring in a baby bottle. I paid 17.00 for two soft drinks and a two hot dogs.. $17.00!!!!! I could have eaten before the game full meal with another person and had steak for that price!!!!

Vote ID : 381426 Can't see the scoreboard from left field
Vote ID : 381437 The smokestacks HAVE to go. They are way too cheesy? What are they, made out of plastic? Perhaps if they were real smokestacks, it'd be acceptable - but, now it's way too forced. C'mon, it's good to add something unique and distinctively "Cincinnati", but those are better for a shopping mall.
Vote ID : 381444 parking

Vote ID : 381505 after all the carping about being on the river, not much was done with the river itself. It's close enough to see, from the upper deck, but is still separated from the stadium itself.
Vote ID : 381508 didn't like the fact that i was sitting in my back roll seat and there was people behind me smoking and kicking me in the head
Vote ID : 381509 Need more parking closer to ballpark.
Vote ID : 381512 Too pickey as to what fans can bring into the ball park.
Vote ID : 381516 Sooo expensive...
Vote ID : 381517 the lack of a major league team.
Vote ID : 381524 Location - view of our best asset -NKY(?) Access to concessions along 1st base line - I thought the park was finished.
Vote ID : 381526 Cheesy/cheap looking outfield wall. Characterless interior. Bland exterior. Odd center blackout building....I could go on.
Vote ID : 381531 The concessions concourse on first base line. Their too narrow and overcrowded. Why did the designers not see the need to make the concourse the same size as the third base line. Now patrons are stuck with years of headaches getting food, going to the restrooms and/or just walking around the stadium. If you go to the games, get seats on the third base line, more room and flows much nicer.
Vote ID : 381532 The team playing in it.
Vote ID : 381535 Can't see the main scoreboard from most of the outfield seats, and side scoreboards are too small...not enough info.
Vote ID : 381539 The product on the field the last 2 months of the season
Vote ID : 381543 Not a big fan of the smoke stacks.. Cincinnatians love fireworks... bring them back
Vote ID : 381551 The ballpark really nothing special. Parking sucks. Seats aren't comfortable.
Vote ID : 381552 Need to fix the 1st base side concession stands. Wait and traffic flow. I hope when that side of the stadium is complete, it will fix this VERY BAD ISSUE? Maybe take away the rolling concession stands and help the speed of getting food. This will stop the lines to adding to the congestion.
Vote ID : 381554 scoreboard on the first base line!
Vote ID : 381555 The few times, the big score board was not working until the third or fourth inning.
Vote ID : 381556 tight seats( I'm not a large person)....poorly designed concouse on first base side....bahness "feel" of a ballpark....non descript....looks like it was built by a committee.....or a retired 1960 amusement park owner...cheesee smokestacks.....
Vote ID : 381558 Tough to see main scoreboard from right fiels line.
Vote ID : 381559 Very poor handling of retired numbers (reds officials should visit PNC Park)
Vote ID : 381563 The fireworks from the smokestacks should just be renamed the smokeworks. It is embarassing when the smoke hovers over the field.
Vote ID : 381564 The smoke stacks need to shoot fireworks that go "boom" when a homerun is hit. The plain red noiseless fireworks are pretty lame.
Vote ID : 381565 Upper deck seating
Vote ID : 381570 the seating arrangement on the lower level is terrible. If you have seats down the lines all you see the entire game is people and vendors walking in front of you. You miss about 40% of the pitches thrown. The vendors do not bend down when serving people and when you ask them to, they just stare back.
Vote ID : 381572 The lack of room between the seats and the concession. Gets to be a bottleneck when walking around the park.
Vote ID : 381573 that John Allen has a office there.
Vote ID : 381576 The food, too pricey, not that good, lines are too long.
Vote ID : 381581 Too many people smoking on the concourse.
Vote ID : 381585 The lack of real fireworks, like they had at Cinergy Field.
Vote ID : 381588 location is terrible. I cross 12 lanes of busy smoggy loud traffic to get to the "park". parking is hassle, and it's long walk from where ever you park.
Vote ID : 381591 parking
Vote ID : 381601 ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Vote ID : 381603 Seats, beer and food were expensive. $20/seat to sit in left field is a lot to ask.
Vote ID : 381604 accessability from city
Vote ID : 381612 The seats in the upper sections are not made for the bigger person. I'm 350 lbs. and was crampped in the upper seats.
Vote ID : 381616 IT COST THE TAX PAYERS TO PAY FOR IT
Vote ID : 381619 The cost of the food/drinks !!!
Vote ID : 381622 I sat in left field and could not see the scoreboard.
Vote ID : 381626 the lines and the waits...sometimes I miss Cinergy...
Vote ID : 381629 The Pepsi Powerstacks. Visually, they look fine in the overall scheme of the ballpark but the fireworks display after a win of homerun is EXTREMELY weak. Also - for the fans setting in left field, they are almost completely in the dark about the happenings on the field because there is no view of the main scoreboard. They have to listen to Marty & Joe on a radio to find out what's happening on the field or simply lose interest in the game.
Vote ID : 381630 A LITTLE PRICEY
Vote ID : 381631 the interior shows too much concrete over home plate; smokestacks; organ and/or music needs to be played between pitches and when runners are on base. It is very easy to to lose focus of game. Exterior is an eyesore.
Vote ID : 381639 The team playing in it. With such a great baseball history, and so much money spent on an amazing stadium, we need the team to back it up!
Vote ID : 381641 Not enough non-factory food. Need more ethnic food.
Vote ID : 381653 The side scoreboards are horrible. You can barely see the information pertaining to the actual game. (Runs, hits, errors) if you are sitting in left field.
Vote ID : 381655 Can't see main scoreboard in many seats
Vote ID : 381668 It has Uncle Carl's business name attached. He has ruined the Reds worse than ever in the history of the franchise, including the Dick Wagner era.
Vote ID : 381669 Unfortunately, the product on the field. Of the dozen or so games I attended this past season, I don't know that I went more than once or twice after the horrible June road trip. The concession area on the first base line is way too small. I hate the way the crowd demands a visitor's home run ball be thrown back. This isn't Wrigley Field. If we want to emulate a club that hasn't been to the World Series since 1945, we're in trouble.
Vote ID : 381672 The stairs to get to your seats in the upper deck. Not enough ramps like Riverfront! The price of the seats behind home plate and no chance of ever sitting there for that price, unlike Riverfront, where you could at least have a shot of blue seats sometimes. The seats in the upper deck where we sit are tighter than my old seats in Riverfront. Not enough concessions open late in the season, especially in the upper deck area!! We sit in section 434 and have to go down behind home plate area just to get something to eat or drink. Have at least one concession area open behind all sides of the field!
Vote ID : 381673 Need more concession seating areas. A place where you can sit and eat after you purchase food. The location - It should have been built in the city!
Vote ID : 381675 People always walking around blocking fans views. People should wait to get food, get to their seats, and get up from their seats between innings.
Vote ID : 381678 The smoke stacks look silly and the bloack box is ugly! I'm vegetarian and dont drink beer (I drink wine) - veggie food is hard to come by and wine can only be got from the Machine Room to my knowledge! The old ball park was better for this!
Vote ID : 381679 the architecture
Vote ID : 381680 Its proximity to the Coliseum.
Vote ID : 381683 the food!!!!!
Vote ID : 381684 Ft. Washington Way being so close.
Vote ID : 381694 Inability to get from one side to the other behind home plate.
Vote ID : 381706 Food prices and selection, and I like the smokestacks-but have a horn go off when the smoke comes out and some booms with the fireworks
Vote ID : 381708 Although it is a nice place to see a game, it is a bit derivative.
Vote ID : 381711 needs more references to team's history inside the ballpark - pennants, world championships, etc. this needs to be where it can be seen from the seats, and by television cameras during a game.
Vote ID : 381712 The batters eye in centerfield. They need to readjust the configuration.
Vote ID : 381714 There are no World Championship banners visible inside the stadium viewable to the opposing teams. The retired numbers of the players are weak. The cut-out jerseys with numbers at Cinergy looked much better, especially "Big Klue's." Also the red hamster wheel in center is an eyesore.
Vote ID : 381718 The fact that you can not enter the ballpark when the home team is taking batting practice.
Vote ID : 381719 Lack of Character too much concrete
Vote ID : 381722 My LORD, but the food is expensive.....A beer costs almost what a six pack would cost outside. For the cost of three dogs and beverages, I could make a nice dinner at home. WHich I do now, then only snack at the park.
Vote ID : 381728 Well, the beer is overpriced and the $70 million team we're paying for somehow got lost in the translation
Vote ID : 381731 The smoke stacks are okay but the only thing I remember about riverfront that made it unique was the fireworks after a win or homerun. Then you take that away for smoke. Please put together a winner I do not want to be a Brewers fan and right now there is not much of a difference.
Vote ID : 381733 The first base concourse is way too tight, and the concession lines are way too long.
Vote ID : 381743 Parking.
Vote ID : 381744 3 words! The Batter's Eye Disgusting obtrusion to an otherwise first class beautiful park!
Vote ID : 381750 1. Parking is too expensive. 2. The climb to the upper deck.
Vote ID : 381755 scoreboard view obstructed from left field seats
Vote ID : 381762 food
Vote ID : 381772 Homreplate to right field fence traffic on the concourse is very bad. Concession lines interfere with people trying to get to setas, restrooms, etc. Wlaking ramps on left field side are ridiculous. Who uses them? (I did once.)
Vote ID : 381774 Parking
Vote ID : 381775 The AAA team playing in it.
Vote ID : 381785 The price of the tickets make it unaffordable to go....
Vote ID : 381790 The smoke stacks have potential but are not being used as well as they could be. When a Reds pitcher strikes out an opposing batter smoke filters from the top. Most people don't even notice. It would be cool to have a steam whistle that could blow loudly to get people excited. It could also be used in conjuction with the fireworks at the end of a winning effort. How they can seel seats in the upper right field deck next to the batter's eyes is unbelievable. You cannot see any of left field or the big score board. The smoke stacks are too close to the field for these seats to be usefull. The other thing I really dislike is the angled handrails on the steps at the south end of the field. I'm sure they relate to something if you're flying over in an airplane. I'm surprised somebody hasn't fallen down trying to use them. My wife's biggest complaint, "There is never any soap in the women's restroom". Maybe they should be checked periodically throughout the game.
Vote ID : 381793 Location, I would prefer it in the city more or at the very least opening up to the city. Why does our ballpark feature Northern Kentucky?
Vote ID : 381794 Too damned expensive. Nothing around it. It's an "island" of sorts. Too far to walk to. I know that will change ion time,but, will it?
Vote ID : 381800 The Team??? Auxillary billboards are just ads, little game info on them. Lack of beer choices - where is the Hudy!? Smokestack video "eyes" and corny sound effects.
Vote ID : 381803 The left field seats under the big scoreboard. You can't see anything as far as scoreboards go except the thin "ribbon" scoreboards along the fac of the upper decks, and those boards give fans nothing as far as game information goes. They're just big advertising boards. They need to have the info of the batter at the plate, and the pitcher at least.
Vote ID : 381810 If you sit out in left field you are not able to see a lot of information on the main scoreboard. The lessor scoreboards need to have at least batting average, rbi, and home runs for the guy at bat.
Vote ID : 381812 the price of food is outragous I HAD FREE TICKETS AND IT STILL COST ME 50DOLLARS
Vote ID : 381818 the fireworks suck
Vote ID : 381819 I do not like that in left field you cannot see a scoreboard with game statistics on it.
Vote ID : 381824 Price of concessions
Vote ID : 381825 The left field seats can't see a darn thing on the scoreboard; which would be okay if the ribbon boards showed stats of players at bat, but they show Pepsi ads the whole time.
Vote ID : 381833 we need back the kahn's graphic from riverfront where ther hot dog runs around the bases. that commercial on the scoreboard had become as much of a part of the game as the seventh inning stretch. The same goes for the original Mr. Red race, with just the simple heads racing. Less is more, and the new Mr. Red race has no character.
Vote ID : 381836 The food and drink prices are outrageous.
Vote ID : 381841 has some good history, but does not do justice to the vast amounts of legends and history of the Cincinnati teams
Vote ID : 381843 I really like the home run smoke stacks, they are complemented by the big red pattle wheel outside of the park. The fireworks however, STINK. Bring back the big boomign bombs for the home run. I live about seven miles from downtown, and I use to be able to here the fireworks from hone, or while out on the boat. Whenever I herd the boom, I new that the Reds hit a homer, or won the game. I wuold run over to my raido to fine out who hit the home run and find out the score. Those fireworks were a tradition. Its a shame that that tradition has been taken away. It use to be so cool to here the booms an run over to the raido to find out what just happened, even several miles form the staidum. Please bring back the real fireworks. The Boomers.
Vote ID : 381846 Long lines to enter the ball park
Vote ID : 381851 I do not think the park captured the history of Cincinnati baseball. I was very disappointed because I was hoping that the tradition of Crosley would be captured with the new ballpark. It is a beautiful park but it just does not have that old traditional feel to it that I was hoping it would have.
Vote ID : 381868 The noseBleed section
Vote ID : 381873 Advertising signage overdone. Everywhere you look, something is being sold.
Vote ID : 381876 beer prices
Vote ID : 381877 Batter's Eye
Vote ID : 381878 The thing I least like the most about GABP is the gap in right field.
Vote ID : 381879 I could go on and on about this, I will just mention a few. The prices of tickets are HIGH. I understand the Reds have Jr. and as fans we have to pay the price. I also understand with a new stadium comes higher prices but if your going to built a new stadium do it right or not at all. I have been to Safeco field in Seattle,Jaccobs in Cleveland and The Ballpark in Arlington and all 3 of these "retro stadiums are nicer. As they are more fan friendly. You did an article before the season started with some architects who said that this stadium is not a stadium that just stands out and grabs you. I couldn't agree more! If I knew 7= years ago that this is what the final product was going to look like I never would have voted to increase our sales taxes! I still and will always believe that "Broadway Commons" would have been the best site for the new stadium. Finally, I would rather play in a dome than have the team the Reds have now. Don't get me wrong the guys out there now are giving it their all. I can only hope the team does something about that in the off season!
Vote ID : 381880 If you are sitting in the outfield seats, the scoreboards along the 1st and 3rd base lines do not indicate the number of the player at bat. If a person is not that familiar with the visiting team's line-up, it can be difficult to identify the current batter.
Vote ID : 381885 I go to a lot of games at Pac Bell Park and THAT is the way GABP should have been done. The next level of seata are too high up and too far away from the field. It's too much like the red seats in old Riverfront. They should be lower and hang out over the lower leve seats more bring them closer to the game and providing more shade for the lower level seats. On an August day game there is almost nowhere to hide from the sun.
Vote ID : 381886 Access and parking problems.
Vote ID : 381887 Access and parking problems.
Vote ID : 381892 Price of food and especially drinks.
Vote ID : 381893 How difficult it is to find your way around- especially to the bleacher seats.
Vote ID : 381894 Too ordinary, much like Cinergy Field. They needed to make the actual park more quirky.
Vote ID : 381896 too much poured concrete, the color of concrete all over the place. other stadiums have painted their concrete facings, but here it's bare concrete, like looking at a freeway overpass. all of the handrails are a bare aluminum, with no color. look at pittsburgh's stadium and notice the color. or most any other stadium and notice the variety of design, the nooks and crannies. it's too damn plain! and there's no place to walk to after the game for entertainment, there's no community feeling, the stadium is isolated from the city.
Vote ID : 381901 some upper deck seats view are blocked when fans come up the steps
Vote ID : 381903 Seats down the lines are turned so that people walking through the aisles block view of the field. Seats are also too close together. The Reds are the only organization in baseball that does not print a scorecard that lists the pitcher's numbers from other games, making the out of town scoreboard almost useless.
Vote ID : 381904 Seats down the lines are turned so that people walking through the aisles block view of the field. Seats are also too close together. The Reds are the only organization in baseball that does not print a scorecard that lists the pitcher's numbers from other games, making the out of town scoreboard almost useless.
Vote ID : 381910 The minor league team on the field.
Vote ID : 381921 That it cost too much money to build for a team that can't win. Cinergy was fine, try to let the players earn the next multi-million dollar stadium that the tax payers pay for.
Vote ID : 381930 The team stunk!! Bring back the fireworks!!
Vote ID : 381944 Home run smokestacks. People used to know all over Cincinnati when the Reds hit one and when they won a game. I could hear the fireworks from Embshoff Park. Now? They're just lame.
Vote ID : 381946 The ballpark has a very artificial feel to it, they worry too much about entertainment between innings, although I love the Kiss Cam.
Vote ID : 381947 nothing really special about it the team
Vote ID : 381955 The batter's eye. It could be the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
Vote ID : 381968 weak fireworks display
Vote ID : 381969 Exiting from the first base side of the field was extremely slow. Hopefully, will be improved as they finish Hall of Fame building and open that side of the field.
Vote ID : 381976 The home-run smokestacks are a disappointment. I can't even hear the fireworks from my office in the Midland Building. Many times I have been with people who missed the fireworks at the end of a game because the fans was cheering so loud and drowning out the dinky fireworks. The existing fireworks are great for homeruns, but not when the Reds win. The fireworks for a winning game need to be big, loud and high above the stadium!
Vote ID : 381979 Smokestacks - real fireworks would be much better; ie, ones that can be heard/seen from outside the stadium (as Riverfront's fireworks were).
Vote ID : 381987 If you are sitting in certain sections, you have absolutely no view of the main scoreboard. Why are there not two Jumbo screens in the stadium, one on each side so everyone can see what is going on?
Vote ID : 381992 auxiliary scoreboards are horrible
Vote ID : 381994 I want more entertainment between innings.The only wntertainment was men screaming ice, cold beer in different ways. Take a look at how the Dayton Dragons entertain the fans. Ticket prices are a bit steep, especially, close to the first and third baselines.
Vote ID : 381997 THE STUPID MASCOT GAPPER HAS GOT TO GO..What idiot in the front office decided to get rid of Mr. Red? What Cincy needs now is a reminder of the glory days. GAPPER is not going to get them there.
Vote ID : 381998 If you're sitting in the bleachers out in the field you only get to see the auxillary score boards which are over taken with advertising and not enough game information.
Vote ID : 382011 I dislike VERY much the fact that the Reds make so many announcements between innings. To be frank, I go to the ballpark to watch the game...I don't NEED to be entertained betweej innings, however, if you're going to try to entertain me...DO IT RIGHT!!! Go to Pittsburgh's PNC Park and see how they do it. They do it RIGHT!!!!
Vote ID : 382016 As a family experience, it would be expensive.
Vote ID : 382022 THE PRODUCT!
Vote ID : 382025 Online ticket buying is a hassle.
Vote ID : 382027 It's just not all it could or should be. See PNC Park for comparison.
Vote ID : 382033 Lack of close parking
Vote ID : 382034 x
Vote ID : 382041 the fact that it is even there
Vote ID : 382045 navigating the web site to try and buy tickets online. (I realize this is not a GABP problem, but I think the word needs to be passed on to the webmaster, none the less)
Vote ID : 382048 Poor traffic flow around food areas - lines extend into walkways making it hard to move through.
Vote ID : 382054 It's very plain. Not close to the river. No local accents. Just a new stadium, nothing exciting.
Vote ID : 382057 What happened to the scoreboard we were promised! No longines clock! How much more money could that have been. And I know that Great American paid money but why cant the Reds scoreboard say "The REDS" on it! All in all i think we had our chance to make a great ballpark - but we got a mediocre one. Not to mention that the Bungels have a nicer one. And the first and one of the greatest teams in baseball history should definately have a nicer feild than Mike Browns losers!
Vote ID : 382059 No fireworks after a homerun. The smokestacks are fine, but the sparks that shoot out after a homer are lame.
Vote ID : 382060 Too much poured concrete everywhere. Outside of the main scoreboard in left, the other scoreboards and graphics were tiny and unhelpful. Prices for the Montgomery Inn BBQ sandwich were too high and there were no 3,4 or 5 ways to be had. Spaghetti with chili is a unique Cincinnati tradition and its abscence is a crying shame.
Vote ID : 382061 It would have been perfect @ Broadway Commons! If I remeber a bunch of us voted to have it built there, but nobody listened. No we pay a so called consultant to figure a way to make Main st. thriving agian. The staduim would have done mor than that. Take Jacobs field for example.
Vote ID : 382063 Crappy team playing in it
Vote ID : 382065 The way the exterior is so massive and is like a wall between the city and the river. Inside the ballpark, there is no connection to downtown or the waterfront. This prime real estate location was mis-used.
Vote ID : 382066 Lack of places to go before/after games
Vote ID : 382071 The fireworks. They are weak and unexciting. I used to be able to hear them from my house in Oakley. Now they sort of fizzle and then alot of smoke and ash blows on the poor saps in the bleachers. Shoot off some real firworks.
Vote ID : 382078 Good luck taking a family out and buying food unless you win the lotto
Vote ID : 382080 the narrow seats. I dont like rubbing shoulders with the person next to me.
Vote ID : 382089 Parking
Vote ID : 382112 Price increase for the seats I've had every year.
Vote ID : 382122 Most of the seats are too small and too close together. If you are on the third base side, it is too hard to see the scoreboard with the angle of the seats. Also, if you're a child or 100 pound woman, you have plenty of seat and leg room, but for most men, it is very uncomfortable.
Vote ID : 382126 The interior architecture is very bland - lacks character and the black box needs to be dressed up
Vote ID : 382131 Not enough exits....way too crowded as people try to leave the stadium....Poor view of scoreboards/field from walkways....Right field bleachers not handicap accessible....Poor display of retired jerseys (very plain background) Poor maintenance/construction (unrepaired damage to entrance in right field bleachers/broken concrete in same).
Vote ID : 382132 Long lines at concessions, our lousey seats, long lines in the bathrooms(men), Huge pile up of fans trying to get food and drinks along the first base seat line that keeps us from our seats at the beginning of the game. Starting time for night games is too early. The city moved the Southbank Shuttle stops 2 blocks west of GABP. YUK. Why???It seems like Cincinnati/Hamilton County has designed a government facility that they will force the community to like. Also, before and after the game, there is NOTHING else to do down there on the riverfront. No businesses, restaurants, bars, pavillions etc. The season ticket parking is atrocious. The ticket prices for the good seats are criminal.
Vote ID : 382134 Prices of concessions. $3.25 for a bottle of water!? $5+ for a beer? How much for a regular soft drink? At those prices how many games do you think a family can afford to attend? I'm weighing the value against other entertainment or staying home with family.
Vote ID : 382135 The narrow concourse on the first base sidebehind sec 130 area
Vote ID : 382139 I would like to be able to see the game from the Men's room urinals. Just like at Pee & See park.
Vote ID : 382144 the prices are a little expensive
Vote ID : 382150 the price of the tickets and food
Vote ID : 382153 The team.... after the injuries & trades ruined any shot to compete.
Vote ID : 382156 improve the team inside the park
Vote ID : 382157 There are some seats in left field that have a completely obstructed view because of the thick railings.
Vote ID : 382159 The upper deck seats behind home plate are at such an angle if the person infront of me sits just a bit forward, I can not see home plate at all without leaning either left or right of the person. Either home plate should have been moved further out (but wasn't so the $225 seats would be closer to the batter than the pitcher) or the upper deck angled higher to see over the person infront.
Vote ID : 382160 There's very little I don't like.
Vote ID : 382161 no close parking
Vote ID : 382163 Parking. My wife has trouble walking but is not disabled but we cannot park close. At Riverfront we were always allowed to buy parking passes in the garage to accomodate this problem.
Vote ID : 382164 Stadium could have been closer to the river to allow for homerun "splash landings"
Vote ID : 382186 High food prices.
Vote ID : 382203 needs more elevators
Vote ID : 382205 The soap dispensers in the rest rooms are all broken and have been almost since the beginning of the season. I also feel like to concessions are extremely over priced. I have no objection to the ticket price but the concession prices are terribly high.

Vote ID : 382223 nothing
Vote ID : 382224 Smoke stacks should produce more sound
Vote ID : 382234 The smokestacks are hideous. They need to be removed. The fireworks were much better before the smokestacks, anyway.
Vote ID : 382236 inability to bring my childs FORMULA BOTTLE with FORMULA into the game---it was emptied because it was a 'threat to security'? I don't think so, maybe a threat to my family having a good time with my son fed, without feeding him hotdogs at such a young age!
Vote ID : 382238 The ty Team
Vote ID : 382242 Fewer exits make leaving the park a hassle.
Vote ID : 382245 They need more info on the auxilliary scoreboards. If you're sitting in left field you don't know who's up to bat, his hitting avg, etc. The old statdium at least had this info on it's auxilliary scoreboards. GAPB auxilliary scoreboards should at least have the same, if not more info on them.
Vote ID : 382247 they need to make the fireworks off of the smokestacks bigger. love the smokestakes, really feel like the fireworks are something i could light in my backyard.
Vote ID : 382253 Stairs!!!
Vote ID : 382255 The angle. The outfield should face the city skyline instead of the filthy brown river.
Vote ID : 382257 losing,trading our good players,no future playoffs in sight,prices,parking,food.
Vote ID : 382262 prices on souviners and drinks is out of line.
Vote ID : 382263 Food selection, and the secondary scoreboards, the smoke stacks are unneccessary and very cheesy.
Vote ID : 382271 The product inside it or the management running (ruining) the team. By management I mean beyond Bowden, I mean the ownership and upper-management.

Vote ID : 382369 The color scheme. Cannot put my finger on it, but the white and red does not cut it.
Vote ID : 382414 Parking, Slow service, handicap access
Vote ID : 382425 That there is no continuity. Looks like too many people had a say in the final outcome. It's visually "noisy".
Vote ID : 382437 the crowds at the concession stands 1. for the wait to eat2. because it disrupts crowd flow through the stadium
Vote ID : 382457 Not being able to see the game when the people in front of me stand up. The left field line between 3rd base and the foul pole is terrible. If someone stands up from 1 to 10 rows in front of you, the entire field of play can be blocked. Of course, the food is too expensive. I would also like to see a competitive team on the field. Having to spend $100 to sit outside the Machine Room during a game is a joke!
Vote ID : 382482 hard to view the main scoreboard (and especially to view the NL scores on the outfield wall -- in the corner) from the lower level seats on the third base side
Vote ID : 382494 Overall, it is bland and the outfield wall's average distance to homeplate is too close and well as being uninteresting in it's design.
Vote ID : 382500 ugly scoreboards, some seats in the bleachers are obscurred by the Pepsi smokestacks, the interior is not decorated very well.
Vote ID : 382504 ugly scoreboards, some seats in the bleachers are obscurred by the Pepsi smokestacks, the interior is not decorated very well.
Vote ID : 382511 Food/Beer prices too high. Gates should open more than an hour and a half before game time.
Vote ID : 382526 How in todays age of ballparks, can we build a $300 Million Stadium with obstructed views ? I recently took my daughter to another game and we walked to the top of the right field seats to look a the river....and to my surprise, we have obstructed views, thats a sin for tha kind of money and planning. I think we need more entrances to get into the ballpark. And the first base concourse is way too narrow compared the the third base concourse.
Vote ID : 382533 Stupid smokestacks.
Vote ID : 382548 The concession aisle on the first base side is to narrow, which makes it difficult to get around.
Vote ID : 382551 - First base concourse is too narrow - Can only get pretzels ap 1 concession stand on first base side. Need pretzels at every stand or at least add them to the corner stand near right field.
Vote ID : 382555 no scoreboard viewing in all areas. On opening day that was a real negative to us.
Vote ID : 382571 Can't see the scoreboard from many thirdbase side seats!
Vote ID : 382574 seats under the score board are bad. They are uncomfortable, the score board is distorted and the remote score boards are hard to decofer.
Vote ID : 382586 PRICE (ticket prices are very high, food and drink prices are outrageous)!!! Costs a fortune to attend a game (with snacks)!
Vote ID : 382588 Please do something about the first base concourse area. There is barely enough room to walk, because of all the people standing in line to get food.
Vote ID : 382598 The seats...too crowded and uncomfortable.
Vote ID : 382601 The stupid sound effects that are played after almost every pitch REALLY take away from the game-day experience.
Vote ID : 382607 Batters eye looks like and after thought to fill space. The smoke stacks. Where are the flags that use to show the league standings? What are the ribbon score boards about. They are very tasteless
Vote ID : 382608 The commercial atmosphere. It seems more like Kings Island than a REDS game.
Vote ID : 382609 The seat are to small, I thought they be roomier
Vote ID : 382617 x
Vote ID : 382638 the cost
Vote ID : 382640 the team
Vote ID : 382641 It's a little difficult to find things in the concourse for newbies.
Vote ID : 382655 The concession cost is ludicrous and entirely unwarranted.
Vote ID : 382659 Ongoing construction, void between Paul Brown and GABP, high cost of the better seats, batters eye is an eyesore.
Vote ID : 382663 not enough room to walk
Vote ID : 382669 Restrictiveness of access to the "special" restaraunts.
Vote ID : 382670 I do not like how the red seats along the first base line look like the old stadium seats.
Vote ID : 382681 centerfield "black building" is an eye sore, some other dark background structures could be placed there
Vote ID : 382684 No consistency of design
Vote ID : 382693 How it's all crammed into a small area.
Vote ID : 382697 I cant afford to take my whole family buy tickets buy snacks and other things at the ball game. It would be nice if a family could afford to go to the ball game and not be broke and we have a decent salary.
Vote ID : 382714 crowds on the first base side, field level
Vote ID : 382719 Seating--even the pricier seats are small and too close to the row in front.
Vote ID : 382728 The team on the field..I think it's a crime..
Vote ID : 382730 If you sit in a bad spot for the main scoreboard, you have noplace else to see who is batting...HOW ABOUT LISTING PLAYER AND BATTING AVG. ON PART OF THE ADVERTISING BANNERS DOWN THE BASE LINES?!?
Vote ID : 382737 The aisles where the concession stands are, are too close to the seats. When the lines are long it is hard to get to your seat.
Vote ID : 382740 Getting in to the park and to my seats. As well as exiting after the game. Concourse is to crowded. I think this will be corrected as new gates will be constructed next by next season. My Seats are in section 142.
Vote ID : 382748 The parking was horendous. We arrived 90 minutes early. Then had to wait in the sun.
Vote ID : 382752 concession lines are poorly placed into main aisles-wait time too long. Food over priced. vs. quality-quantity. Seats are way to narrow. Sitting on-top of person on either side.
Vote ID : 382770 All the trash that you have to encounter outside and on the bridge wanting a quarter
Vote ID : 382774 CONCESSION LINES
Vote ID : 382784 -Seating is too far from the field. Views would be better if closer like Jacobs field. -Although I like the idea of giving older peoplethe opportunity to work, it was easier and quicker for me to find my seats by myself than to rely on the ushers. I also feel that if a serious incident was to occur in the stands they would not have been capable of helping. -Beer is way to expensive.
Vote ID : 382807 The Crowd behind the right field seats. You can not move when you are getting something to drink
Vote ID : 382813 Too difficult to exit stadium after game is over. I felt like I was in a herd of cattle as everyone tried to use the main exit when the game was over. Also, the lights were turned out within five minutes of the end of the game, making it difficult to see as your left your seat.
Vote ID : 382819 The seats in the upper areas, toward the river down the first base line.
Vote ID : 382824 The architectural review was right. The overall architectural design is very poor. Considering the rich history of the Reds, park does little to inspire. It is obvious that the Bengals robbery of most of the stadium dollars left the Reds with little to work with. The simple concrete and steel structure is bland. They obviously looked at this late in the game and added doo-dads (smokestack, murals, graphics) to spice it up, but it makes for an uninspiring structure. We deserved a palace. We got an out-house. People love it now because its new, see what they think 6 years from now.
Vote ID : 382834 The auxiliary scoreboard stinks out loud. Actual scoreboard portions are way too small to be seen comfortably, advertising is way too large. Move the ads somewhere else - make this a true scoreboard. This would be my only real negative impression from GAB, but it's a big one.
Vote ID : 382863 Getting down town and parking
Vote ID : 382866 Seats in the Outfield are poor - sun in your eyes, can;t see the main scoreboard without straining your neck. Secondary scoreboards should be labeled secondary advertising boards - tough to see any of the game information.
Vote ID : 382867 product on the field lacks charm
Vote ID : 382886 I hate the red seats. The ballpark lacks a the cozy feel of other new ballparks.
Vote ID : 382898 The price of the beers, and smaller fireworks, we use to sit on our patio and listen to the game and fireworks. You can't even hear them anymore. Pretty wimpy!!!
Vote ID : 382900 Some of the seating is very poor. Seats that are slanted toward home plate do not work the farther away from the plate you are. I felt like I was sitting on the person's next to me lap. Don't like the arrangement in the $50 seats of ordering from someone. I missed more of the game trying to find somebody to order from than going in standing in line. It is more disruptive to the people around you. Now I have two people to tip! Between inning entertainment is minor league. I'm there to watch a baseball game. The game appears to be second fiddle.
Vote ID : 382902 I miss the fireworks. What we currently have is the equivalent of some road flares. I miss the big explosions - it's just not the same. Food and beverage prices are rediculous - the prices have gone up much, but the serving size sure has gotten smaller. Not much value there.
Vote ID : 382909 I had to wait two innings to get something to eat!!!!
Vote ID : 382916 the long lines for food the the first base side and trying to get down from the upper level on the first basebase side
Vote ID : 382932 PARKING
Vote ID : 382936 The batter's eye looks completely out of place.
Vote ID : 382939 The right field line concourse is a bit crowded.
Vote ID : 382940 No televisions like Cinergy field, Food way too expensive!
Vote ID : 382950 The overall ballpark is OK, but there's nothing really exciting about it. Out of the approx. 10 new ballparks which were built in the last 10-15 years, this one is probably at or near the bottom of the list.
Vote ID : 382966 It is totally undistinguised. There is nothing special about it and the smoke stacks are beyond tacky.
Vote ID : 382974 I don't like the fact that there is only 1 big scoreboard. I think they need 2 of them.If you are sitting on the side with the bleachers you have to turn your head all the way around to see it and those sitting in the sections below the bleachers can't even see it. They need one on the other side of the field for those fans to enjoy. I don't like the auxilliary scoreboard. You can hardly read it and it doesn't tell you who is at bat.
Vote ID : 382980 Hotdogs on hoagy buns - what a joke!
Vote ID : 382986 The lack of restrooms in the right field bleacher area. Also, the Machine room is pretty small. The outside area doesn't give a very good view of the field unless you are at one of the tables. Seems like it would have been smart to raise that area up a little so you could have a better view of the field.
Vote ID : 382991 Would have been nice (and more comfortable) to have wider aisles for legroom and making way for people to get to their seats.
Vote ID : 383005 The west side of the stadium including the concourse down first base line. It is too crowded. I think it will be expanded once the Reds hall of fame building is built but I'm not sure. I also am looking forward to that HOF being built so the west side of the building looks more complete with the extension of main street to the river. Then it will feel more like a neighborhood ball park
Vote ID : 383008 The fireworks from the smokestacks could be bigger and louder.
Vote ID : 383015 The entire stadium should have been shifted to face either the downtown skyline or like Pittsburgh the Suspension Bridge. Looking at the Licking River and a mound in Newport adds nothing to the park.
Vote ID : 383028 Lack of escalors
Vote ID : 383031 fun stacks and center field batter's eye
Vote ID : 383048 price of food
Vote ID : 383056 Cramped seats compared to old park. Fireworks are wimpy.
Vote ID : 383068 found it difficult to navigate. for example, rode all the way up the escaltor only to find the level I needed was below it. Then, the usher sent us in the wrong direction.
Vote ID : 383071 There's no real style or theme to the interior. Looks like it was done by a committe instead of one person or group of persons with strong ideas.
Vote ID : 383072 concession prices - too high
Vote ID : 383074 The increased prices.
Vote ID : 383083 The drink and food prices.
Vote ID : 383085 Where do I begin? All red seats - yuck! Terrible food selection at high prices. I had to seek out separate concession stands for brats and hot dogs - ridiculous! The outside of the "ballpark" is nothing more than a collection of concrete, steel and glass. Riverfront was criticized for being vanilla. With the exception of being circular, GABP looks much more akin to Riverfront than to a true ballpark. It's nothing more than a stadium where baseball is played. Nothing special about the place at all. Where are the classic brick walls that would give the place a "ballpark" feel? Where are the traditional dark green seats? The place looks like it was constructed from an Erector Set. The zig-zag walkways to the upper levels remind me of ramps that lead hogs into slaughter houses. GABP is a tremendous disappointment. A game there is no more than a game - nowhere close to being an event. For a team with such tradition to be playing in such a contemporary-looking stadium is just plain wrong. How sad. I'm 43 and have followed the team since I was 10. I so much looked forward to a stadium similar to Fenway, Wrigley, Camden Yards, etc. GABP, on a scale of 1-10, rates a 0 for aesthetics.
Vote ID : 383088 There are not many areas that I can go to get out of my seat a) to watch the game b) get out of the HEAT c) mingle with friends d)have a bite to eat AND watch the game without an obstructed view or mean ushers telling me to move. There should be more signs of where different consessions are and places like the "cool zone". We actually have a place called the "cool zone"???
Vote ID : 383100 why did they not include the ol'fashioned theater organ as part of the entertainment? since we're all about baseball history, that seems like a no-brainer -
Vote ID : 383102 why did they not include the ol'fashioned theater organ as part of the entertainment? since we're all about baseball history, that seems like a no-brainer -
Vote ID : 383106 the homerun smokestacks are lame
Vote ID : 383124 Seats other than in the diamond and club level are way to close to each other....heavy people would never be comfortable in normal seating
Vote ID : 383129 The seating. I sat in the outfield to the right of the smoke stacks (when facing them) and i had a obstructed view of the score board. Whoever decided to put the smoke stacks there and not move them back a bit, did some very poor planning. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if the side score boards were actually score boards and not advertisting bands. You can barely see the score and you see no stats or what batter is up to bat. Those score boards need to focus more on the game and not the sponsers.
Vote ID : 383132 No atmosphere.
Vote ID : 383133 the design
Vote ID : 383135 FOOD PRICES!!! And trying to find parking
Vote ID : 383141 The over-priced food
Vote ID : 383143 parking, high prices of food and concessions
Vote ID : 383145 The resaurant in centerfield looks like a barn, very unattractive and out of place.
Vote ID : 383146 The resaurant in centerfield looks like a barn, very unattractive and out of place.
Vote ID : 383149 The high (annoying) volume of the so-called music before the game and between innings. You can't even carry on a conversation!
Vote ID : 383152 Angled seats make for uncomfortable seating & cramped feeling. Also, should have made use of better outfield view options, i.e. Mt Adams or Downtown.
Vote ID : 383154 If you are sitting in the leftfield stands, you can't see a scoreboard with any useful information other than the score.
Vote ID : 383157 1) The product playing inside the park. 2) The ushers are the most unhelpful, rude and inconsiderate bunch of elderly men I have ever encountered.
Vote ID : 383160 I think it should have been in Broadway Commons
Vote ID : 383164 parking
Vote ID : 383171 1) The Reds 2) Charging major league prices for minor league baseball 3) Concession prices are outrageously expensive
Vote ID : 383181 Get rid of the weak fireworks. You could use hazard flares and get more excitement. How about a return to the old fireworks from Riverfront that actually made noise? A little noise after a homerun or a win might wake the fans up.
Vote ID : 383190 Homerun fireworks are more like sparklers now.
Vote ID : 383198 I miss the fireworks from Cinergy field.
Vote ID : 383199 the team on the field was brutal
Vote ID : 383200 The smokestack display looks like a slot machine, it needs to be toned down or torn down. The machine room is too small to handle game day demand. The riverview club is only 10% utilized at the most crowded why dont they open it to all season ticket holders instead of charging a $750 dollar premium.
Vote ID : 383201 The prices of the concession stands are ridiculous, and of course the quality of the team as a whole is embarassing.
Vote ID : 383214 The AA team that occupies it, the cheapskate owners that are not willing to invest in the team, lack of vision on the part of John Allen
Vote ID : 383215 Lack of adequate, nearby parking.
Vote ID : 383224 The concourse traffic, particularly down the right field line, was ridiculous. Too many specialty vendors set up near regular concessions with lines from both back-to-back.
Vote ID : 383238 if you are seated on the third base side you can not see the score board and it seems like you are always having problems with the auxilery scoreboard on the first base side
Vote ID : 383240 IF you are sitting under the bid scoreboard, you cannot see a scoreboard that shows who is up or any of the batter's stats. It would also be nice to see the pitch speed from there too.
Vote ID : 383247 the smoking policy
Vote ID : 383248 if you are seated on the third base side you can not see the score board and it seems like you are always having problems with the auxilery scoreboard on the first base side
Vote ID : 383260 The Reds! Really though, the only problems are that the upper deck steps are too steep....I hate seeing older folks struggle climbing up to their assigned seats.
Vote ID : 383265 Entry points. The first game I went to, I entered at Crosley Terrace. It was like a funnel. I found it odd that they made this setup. Maybe it is for security. I also do not like the architecture. The bar/party room in outfield is blah. It sticks out oddly. Why don't stadium designers make the stands overhang each other? There was nothing better than being under cover during a hot day or rainy day at Riverfront. Get rid of the smoke stacks and bring back the fire works! I would have also liked a more classic exterior instead of stands rising from nothing. There is no outside facade, just the underbelly of the stands.
Vote ID : 383277 quality of team
Vote ID : 383278 Price of everything. Hard to take family.
Vote ID : 383279 Entry points. The first game I went to, I entered at Crosley Terrace. It was like a funnel. I found it odd that they made this setup. Maybe it is for security.

Vote ID : 383304 I wouldn't change a thing. It was perfect
Vote ID : 383308 outrageuos prices of food and drinks
Vote ID : 383310 I wish the home run/game winning fireworks could be as good as those from Riverfront/Cingery.
Vote ID : 383316 The long walk to get to the upper sections! The ramp is too long! and the right field concourse is WAY to skinny!
Vote ID : 383318 Nothing
Vote ID : 383331 not a bad seat in the house
Vote ID : 383332 The auxiliary scoreboard does not give enough information about the batter. When sitting in left field the main scoerboard is not visible and the scoreboard on the first base side gives little information about the batter or scoring information. A few less ads and more game information is what is needed.
Vote ID : 383333 It's still bland. I've been to sefveral other newer parks, and there is nothing to set this one off from the others. It's like we took some elements of other stadiiums that the Rds liked and put them together in the new park. the Reds had a chance to do something special with this park (like move it right on the river) but missed their chance. Also, too much concrete. From the outside, the upper deck looks just like Riverfront's did.
Vote ID : 383334 The auxiliary scoreboard does not give enough information about the batter. When sitting in left field the main scoerboard is not visible and the scoreboard on the first base side gives little information about the batter or scoring information. A few less ads and more game information is what is needed.
Vote ID : 383339 If you sit in the left field corner, you only get to see the little crappy scoreboards and their are not enough T.V.'s in the concession area.
Vote ID : 383342 SEATS AREN'T VERY COMFORTABLE AFTER A COUPLE OF INNINGS
Vote ID : 383347 It feels pretty generic and inconsistent. They have done things to try to provide character (smokestakes) but those things feel forced and cheap. It is a far cry from Jacob's Field, Camden Yards, or even Detroit. Lacking class.
Vote ID : 383359 employees in the shop can be rude.
Vote ID : 383396 THE TEAM THAT IS FIELDED. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIELD A WINNER.
Vote ID : 383403 in between innings entertainment, needs more fan involvement
Vote ID : 383404 poor scoreboard statistics when you sit outside the outfield wall
Vote ID : 383406 in between innings entertainment, needs more fan involvement
Vote ID : 383410 Hard to get from one area/level to another. Batter's Eye in center field is an eye sore. It is a dead area that stands out too much. It needs to be less obtrusive and blend in with the ballpark better.
Vote ID : 383425 The restrooms could be more adequate, user friendly (partitions between the urinals needed). Not enough escalators (but I think they're supposed to add another in the 2004 expansion). Signage is not big enough.
Vote ID : 383427 The soccer moms behind the consessions. They are way, way too slow. Get hired help that won't get scared of crowds and knows how to run the register. We were promised swifter moving lines and it couldn't be further from the truth.
Vote ID : 383443 service and customer care
Vote ID : 383456 bleacher section.
Vote ID : 383474 The food selection is repetative (you do not vary the type of hot dog and then say you have a wide variety of food. Upgrade the food to the genetal public and upgrade the BEER. The selection down there is terrible. (I consider Bud, Miller and any other beer of that grade to be one type)
Vote ID : 383479 The ridiculous smoke stacks!
Vote ID : 383488 upper deck, on the ends there is a glass partian, it just doesn't look safe not enough knee roon between seats, this is always a problem, why can't architects get it....
Vote ID : 383492 not enough room for the line at the concession stands, viewing is terrible from lowest level because of people walking up and down the isles in front of you the whole game. I never saw one whole inning, it was better the watch from a screen somewhere or watch from home!
Vote ID : 383495 Nobody managing the queue lines at the concession stands. They back up all the way to the last row of seats leaving no room to walk. Stupid. Whoever said the concourses were wider than Riverfront is lying.
Vote ID : 383504 I do not like the lack of organization during special events (ie bobblehead day, concerts, the half-price ticket promotion, etc...). Red's management does not appear to communicate well with it's employees.
Vote ID : 383505 *concession prices
Vote ID : 383507 concession prices very high
Vote ID : 383549 The lower concourse is way too crowded. It's nearly impossible to get food/beverage and return to your seat in less than an inning.
Vote ID : 383556 The prices are too high. You can't take a family or a date to a game w/o spending a fortune! It's ridiculous that, even though it's an outdoor park, you can only smoke in a special, inconvenient part of the park and not along the outter areas.
Vote ID : 383577 Baseball games are a great activity for families and food prices are a little high for families.
Vote ID : 383582 sterile, cold feel of all the white stuctures
Vote ID : 383583 It is obviously cheaply done compared to other new parks.
Vote ID : 383591 The stadium structure and footprint itself is fine. What is lacking, however, are the architectural detailing and finishes that give a building character and feel. At GABP you see no brickwork, no detailing, no architectural touches that give a structure charcter. All you see in that place is a bunch of dri-vit and painted concrete block. It really looks like a high school gymnasium. (Heck, even high school gyms use more expensive finishes these days!) Even the concourse is plain and uninteresting. All you guys did was rebuild Riverfront Stadium and gave it a different footprint -- No character at all. CHEAP! CHEAP! CHEAP!

Vote ID : 378685 Keep it how it is, too much is hard to keep up with.
Vote ID : 378686 ??
Vote ID : 378687 If we renew ... low-fat items. Also, open the concession stands near our seating area (Section 434). We must walk a great distance to retrieve food and drinks, so we choose not to do so after the game starts because we pay to watch the game. It takes to long for the service and standing in-line. Pay people to run the stands, not volunteers.
Vote ID : 378690 None, but lower prices
Vote ID : 378693 none - good selection
Vote ID : 378696 I love the food you have to offer.

Vote ID : 378710 different beers....what is it with Cincinnati, a historical beer epi-center, that you must search to find something other than a lousy national brand? This seems to be another cog in the "Reds get money for exclusive rights wheel." I have been to 20 other "sports" stadiums and they revel in the multiple varities of beer. Terrible.
Vote ID : 378711 More low-fat items, such as Oriental or low-fat Mexican food. Also, I would like an option other than french fries with sandwiches.
Vote ID : 378712 Anything at a reduced cost.

Vote ID : 378803 Potashnik's Chicken Phili Wraps
Vote ID : 378809 nothing new just cheaper prices, after each game I am amazed at the number of pretzels, hot dogs and other food itmes being thrown in garbage cans, can't they work a deal with a homeless shelter to pick up or bring these items to those in need

Vote ID : 378837 chili, cheese for hot dogs. AND LOWER THE DAMN PRICES!! Baseball cries about poor attendance, but it is hard to go to many games with a family when it becomes a $200 night. The corporate owned diamond seats are half empty most of the time. Give something back to the fans, like Marge did when she sent people out to give tickets to people, or give blue seat tickets to families in the parking lot who had driven all the way from W Va or Columbus.
Vote ID : 378839 chili
Vote ID : 378840 Hot dogs should be high quality, like Nathan's - the only decent dog is the kosher one served behind first base - can't tell you how many nasty pink and grey dogs I witnessed. Pizza should be branded like Donatos or LaRosa's or Papa John's - befuddles my mind that Papa John was willing to put their name on every cup holde but couldn't get the pizza concession Burgers behind visitors dugout are good

Vote ID : 379000 N/A
Vote ID : 379009 None, I think the selection of different foods there was comparable to other parks.
Vote ID : 379014 burritos
Vote ID : 379015 It is a shame that the main reason some people go to games is for the food and the beer. They are the loudest to complain when the team's not winning...like they really know why!
Vote ID : 379017 Sell wine at the upstairs concession stands.
Vote ID : 379018 A regular sized hot dog for kids and seniors.
Vote ID : 379023 better selection of beer

Vote ID : 379033 krispy creme donuts and easier access to dippin dots
Vote ID : 379038 Burritos
Vote ID : 379045 graeters ice cream...locally made beer...more import beer selection
Vote ID : 379047 I would like to see tacos brought to the balpark next year.
Vote ID : 379050 crow...because that is what the cincinnati taxpayers are eating right now. That doesnt taste to good right now, does it?
Vote ID : 379056 I'm happy w/ the current selection.
Vote ID : 379057 egg rolls
Vote ID : 379059 I will not be going next year

Vote ID : 379065 more varieties of beer
Vote ID : 379066 3 ways

Vote ID : 379099 Um, i like the food items
Vote ID : 379100 N/A
Vote ID : 379101 Hot pretzels
Vote ID : 379104 penn station
Vote ID : 379106 Include traditional items from other stadiums and cities'. The only one that I really know of is the Chicago Style Hot Dog from Wrigley. It might be something different, but neat! Kinda like a MLB Foodcourt or something.
Vote ID : 379109 cheese coneys
Vote ID : 379110 water bottles for a $1.00 would be wonderful. What is the mark-up for what they sell inside?

Vote ID : 379155 Fried Chicken.
Vote ID : 379156 I think the food selection is good as it is. I don't usually eat at the park because of the outrageous prices and inefficient service.
Vote ID : 379159 Garlic fries.
Vote ID : 379160 normal hot dog buns
Vote ID : 379163 Nothing, there is plenty to choose from.

Vote ID : 379170 I heard they had fried bologna sandwiches, but I never found them
Vote ID : 379172 $1 hot dog.
Vote ID : 379173 Cincinnati-style chili and spagetti.
Vote ID : 379191 Food selection and taste are very good.
Vote ID : 379193 A hot, shaved beef with cheese hoagie (with fries and slaw on the sandwich), similar to what they serve in PNC Park and Bar Louie's (Newport on the Levee). A hot roast beef sub would also be nice.
Vote ID : 379194 fish tacos
Vote ID : 379195 Goetta sandwich; funnel cakes; more locally brewed beers and more places to find them.
Vote ID : 379196 The beer selection stinks, especially in the 4192 club. Cincinnati has several micro brewerys in the area and there should be a wide selection of those hand crafted beers.
Vote ID : 379198 i go to the nice stadium to watch nice baseball and go to a nice restaurant to get nice food.
Vote ID : 379199 have no preference
Vote ID : 379204 Hofbrahaus beer
Vote ID : 379206 Doesn't matter to me.

Vote ID : 379238 Graeters ice cream
Vote ID : 379245 Montgomery Inn Pulled Pork
Vote ID : 379246 nothing
Vote ID : 379249 None really, they need more ice cream booths or stands
Vote ID : 379252 Undecided.
Vote ID : 379259 Philly beef and swiss subs
Vote ID : 379260 LaBamba "Has Big as Your Head" Burritos
Vote ID : 379261 None.. I am happy with the selections.
Vote ID : 379266 A "tailgating atmosphere" like that beyond the outfield of Camden Yards with food supplementing that.
Vote ID : 379280 Larosas Pizza. I think that instead of the generic foods, the Reds should have Cincinnati staples in the park. The Skyline booths are awesome, now how about getting Larosas or Montgomery Inn or other Cincinnati food traditions in the concession stands. This city is so attached to its food, so get it in the games too. Less of a profit for the team, but the fans would love it!
Vote ID : 379281 Skyline Chili and Montgomery Inn BBQ are great additions to this ballpark, but unless I'm mistaken (I haven't really spent the time to look for it, but I never saw anyone with them either), they don't have the ice cream sundaes in the upside-down mini-helmets anymore. That was always a big thrill for me when I was younger to get the sundae AND the helmet. To make that item even better, it would be neat to give fans the choice between a home helmet, an away helmet, or even a throwback helmet, so they can collect them, thus making the ice cream inside more desireable.
Vote ID : 379282 Do not know

Vote ID : 379355 No opinion...
Vote ID : 379356 Hot Wings. Hot wings with a variety of different sauces(Mild, Medium, Hot, Very Hot, BBQ, Honey BBQ, Teriaki, etc). We usually go to Hooters before the game for Wings. If we could get high quality wings at the park there would be no need(Well, maybe I should say NO need). Wing, Beer and Baseball would go together quite well.

Vote ID : 379372 great steak and fry
Vote ID : 379373 More local offerings -- LaRosa's pizza, Izzy's, etc. so fans from out of town would get a better feel for Cincinnati cuisine. More local beer would be nice too (Barrel House, Main St. Brewery)
Vote ID : 379374 zip burger

Vote ID : 379447 Real Bar-be-que (like Boog Powell's in Baltimore). Montgomery Inn is good, and a local tradition, but it could be augmented by some smoked type BBQ as well.
Vote ID : 379448 Just make sure the coneys don't go anywhere
Vote ID : 379452 tacos
Vote ID : 379454 ?
Vote ID : 379456 sub sandwiches, roll-ups
Vote ID : 379460 Same items, but at ALL stands. I shouldn't have to stand in three different lines to get a bratt, a slice of pizza and a beer.
Vote ID : 379464 Seafood!!!!!!
Vote ID : 379466 The food selection is good in my mind, but certain stands have very long lines because there aren't as many that have the burgers and grilled items. If you want two items you may need to go to two different stands and wait in line because of the way the stands are now set up.
Vote ID : 379470 wine & wine cooler options on the upper level. Not all of us are beer drinkers and I really missed this option esp. since it had been at Riverfront. We were told it was coming...so is Christmas.
Vote ID : 379471 Forget the food, put a championship product on the field......America is too fat anyway, there are enough variety of food choices already......New Concept: win 100+ games!

Vote ID : 379538 I love that Skyline is back
Vote ID : 379539 It appears we have pretty much the same selection as always. Although, I have to admit I have NOT checked out the complete menu yet. I would just like to see some unique and different items. We have some great food traditions here in Cincy (especially with the German background) and I would like to see more of that. Other than Skyline, I don't really see any "homegrown" food items like that at the Park.
Vote ID : 379540 Sunflower Seeds
Vote ID : 379541 Some sort of Montgomery Inn rib sandwich.
Vote ID : 379542 While not a NEW food item, I would like to see more hot dog vendors in the stands like there used to be when I was a kid. Where did they go?
Vote ID : 379543 none
Vote ID : 379546 - more just plain hotdogs, brats, mets, burgers at MORE CONCESSION STANDS (I often have to cross 1/2 the stadium just to get my kid a dog and me a burger). In other words, the most common food items should be "everywhere".
Vote ID : 379547 I thought the food selection was good. Maybe more of the Skyline Chili stands. If the one near my seats was closed, I had to walk halfway around the park to find another.
Vote ID : 379549 Chipotle' Burritos.
Vote ID : 379550 Why isn't wine sold on the second level???? You have to go to the restaurant, which is a long walk. My wife is especially upset about this. I asked some suits early in the year, and they said it would be on a cart later in the year. Still waiting.
Vote ID : 379553 KFC OR FAMOUS RECIPE CHICKEN.
Vote ID : 379558 More quality ethnic foods
Vote ID : 379563 jambalaya
Vote ID : 379564 I went to the concession stand and waited forever for nachos, a sausage and coke. The workers seemed a little rude and DEFINITELY SLOW.

Vote ID : 379614 Graeter's Ice Cream, Deweys Pizza
Vote ID : 379615 cheaper priced hot dogs - same quality. Maybe some Coca-cola products instead of Pepsi.
Vote ID : 379616 Something unique to only Cincinnati.
Vote ID : 379618 A wider variety of beers, particularly local ones.
Vote ID : 379624 Horseradish. What is a Cincinnati Brawt without it? Naked.
Vote ID : 379630 UDF shakes and malts
Vote ID : 379632 Nothing new.
Vote ID : 379636 Ribs or anything besides normal ballpark food.
Vote ID : 379640 Regular Hot Dogs (small, not 1/4 lb.) for $1
Vote ID : 379641 Who cares about the park. The product on the field sucks and the ownership SCREWED the fans. I'm done as a Reds fan.
Vote ID : 379643 Steak Sandwich
Vote ID : 379644 The food is fine, leave it the way it is.
Vote ID : 379646 If not already available, Cajun food.
Vote ID : 379647 nachos with real melted cheese and sour cream, not cheese sauce, and straws
Vote ID : 379651 Skyline should serve three, four and five ways and should retitle the items to be triples (three ways), homers (four ways) and grand slams (five ways)
Vote ID : 379652 Brain sandwiches!!! Just kidding, I think the variety is pretty good as is.
Vote ID : 379655 shrimp
Vote ID : 379657 You must vastly improve on the NACHOS.
Vote ID : 379658 More Low Fat Food!!! Maybe some crab cakes, or something no other field has except Chilli.

Vote ID : 379704 funnel cakes
Vote ID : 379705 Something unique. San Fran has garlic fries and everyone seems to be eating them (you can tell if they are next to you) Not suggesting garlic fries but something that could become a signature item besides coneys.
Vote ID : 379706 Dont care
Vote ID : 379710 I am ok with the food.
Vote ID : 379713 CHICKEN WINGS
Vote ID : 379717 I'd like to see more hot dog and other sandwich vendors in the stands.
Vote ID : 379722 Actual Montgomery Inn Ribs to take to my bleacher seats.
Vote ID : 379730 Make Montgomery Inn's ribs available throughout the park. I know you can get them in the suites and at the Machine Room, but the average fan ought to be more easily able to take the ribs to his/her seat and eat them while watching the game.
Vote ID : 379734 don't care
Vote ID : 379737 I think rather than just the pulled pork sandwiched, the stadium should serve half racks of ribs from Montgomery Inn.
Vote ID : 379741 An affordable one.
Vote ID : 379748 "Best of" items form other stadiums - like their "signature" item.
Vote ID : 379751 None that I can think of.
Vote ID : 379754 don't know
Vote ID : 379756 Is Graeter's there?
Vote ID : 379758 garlic fries
Vote ID : 379760 I would just like to see more variety. I love mexican and the mexican options are a farce. I would also like to see some stand alone kiosks or turn a few of the permanant booths into specialty type places and actually have them themed in colors and atmosphere...all the concession stands are the same
Vote ID : 379765 The food is very good, but it is too scattered. I had one in my party that wanted a pretzel and one that wanted icecream and I had to walk to 2 different places that were not close to each other to get it. The lines were very long at both so I missed over an inning.

Vote ID : 379815 Meat added to the Nachos.

Vote ID : 379892 Corn Dogs. Gotta have the Corn Dogs. I figured with a stand called "Doggie's Dogs" there'd be corn dogs for sure. Alas.
Vote ID : 379893 Some sort of soft-shelled tacos, perhaps, and definitely barbeque. Better condiments for the sausage would be great, too.

Vote ID : 379903 Graeters
Vote ID : 379905 Graeters Ice Cream More Montgomery Inn products Better sausage products
Vote ID : 379907 more Montgomery Inn stands. If you sit in reasonably priced seats, it is a major journey to get a pulled pork sandwich - the best thing in the park.
Vote ID : 379915 Graeter's ice cream(I know that is a slim chance)
Vote ID : 379920 Penn Station subs
Vote ID : 379922 More beer selection

Vote ID : 379955 NOT SURE
Vote ID : 379956 Fine selections as it is
Vote ID : 379961 We need a signature food item at the park for folks who want something beyond Skyline and hot dogs. Most other ballparks have special dishes that are unique and high quality that are a "must-have" for visiting fans. Skyline is not what I am talking about here guys.
Vote ID : 379965 ?
Vote ID : 379967 real mexican--burritos! good coffee! indian food! is there any way you could lower the price on soft drinks? seriously, now. the overhead on that beverage is virtually zero. make your money on alcohol.
Vote ID : 379978 n/a
Vote ID : 379979 a little more of an ethic choice would be nice. Maybe some chinese or mexican or sushi maybe. Just to suprise people and give them options
Vote ID : 379981 Happy with what you have. I have no complaints. I am a Mett and Brat guy... that is all I ever want.
Vote ID : 379983 taco's

Vote ID : 380018 Chinese.
Vote ID : 380021 Forget the food, let's put some quality players on the field. If I had to guess though, I'd say I'd like to see more dessert-type items, like milkshakes and pie.
Vote ID : 380022 I like what they have. Maybe something like Graeter's Ice Cream or something else native to Ohio.

Vote ID : 380041 steak sandwich
Vote ID : 380056 Steak Hoagies, Ribs. Also they need to change the buns they serve hot dogs in they are too big for a plain hot dog, they are fine if you are having a big Mett with everything on it but they're too big for a plain dog with mustard and ketchup.
Vote ID : 380068 I dont know
Vote ID : 380070 Pasta
Vote ID : 380077 Hudy.
Vote ID : 380079 Can't think of anything.
Vote ID : 380086 Better selection of diverse vendors. Just because you can get a skyliner doesn't mean you have selection or quality. Take a page out of Camden Yard's book as far as diversity and quality.

Vote ID : 380109 We now have a great selection, no idea what to add
Vote ID : 380111 Here's a thought. Get some kind of burrito or similar item (maybe even a pretzel) that's available only on the second deck concourse and that's shaped like the arm, or elbow, of seating down the left field line. Call the food item "The Elbow", whatever it is. Maybe a giant piroge. Have it bent in the middle, like that seating section.

Vote ID : 380592 I THINK THE MENU SELECTION IS GREAT! I THOUGHT THAT THE BRAWTS WERE NOT VERY TASTY THIS YEAR!
Vote ID : 380599 I would love to see wine, salads,and cheese served somewhere in the park - not just the Machine Room.

Vote ID : 380632 Actually, I think you need to take a lesson from McDonalds and SIMPLIFY the menu.
Vote ID : 380639 NA
Vote ID : 380642 How about a competitive team? Many of the flaws of the stadium could be overlooked if there were any excitement on the field.
Vote ID : 380648 ? Funnel Cake ?
Vote ID : 380649 a 1.00 coke! I could buy 3,one litre bottles of pop for what they charge for a cup. Those are extortion prices but the lemmings, you see, keep paying it. So much for business ethics!
Vote ID : 380650 Go down to Memphis and check out the barbecue and chips from the "Rendezvous" that are served at Auto Zone Park. Montgomery Inn stuff is like eating library paste compared to Memphis style BBQ.
Vote ID : 380655 anything that costs less than $5
Vote ID : 380656 There is enough variety.
Vote ID : 380659 Don't really care. Couldn't tell you what's missing.
Vote ID : 380668 Ruby's Steakhouse???? Come on people its a ball park! They already have more than enough selections. Hotdog, brown mustard, salt pretzel, and a beer and I am set.
Vote ID : 380670 white castle

Vote ID : 380728 The food choices are fine but the prices are excessive.
Vote ID : 380730 Don't have a preference
Vote ID : 380740 none
Vote ID : 380743 Skyline chili, instead of just coneys
Vote ID : 380745 larosas, greaters, fried pickles
Vote ID : 380746 Goetta, a local staple, would be a nice touch.
Vote ID : 380747 Something unique to Cincinnati. I know there is Skyline down there and that is a start, but what about LaRosas, Graeters Ice Cream, etc. Even some of the local favorites like Price Hill Chili (or wherever the Eastsiders eat) for instance could lease boothes and I think that would add more food variety as well as adding that very important Cincinnati-feel to the park.

Vote ID : 380774 ?...they've got plenty.
Vote ID : 380778 None, the selection at the park is sufficient for a baseball game. If I want to eat a steak, I'll go to a steakhouse.
Vote ID : 380783 I would love to see more options for vegetarians. I would love to see meatless hot dogs or even veggie burgers.

Vote ID : 381248 cheap (less than $3.50/serving) beer

Vote ID : 381275 Not a big fan of ballpark food so it does not really matter.
Vote ID : 381276 Maybe a smaller (cheaper) nacho than the expensive one we have to buy now
Vote ID : 381279 A White Castle hamburger stand would be unique. For a local flavor, fried Goetta slices with onion on rye bread.
Vote ID : 381289 Dippin Dots ice cream or healthier choices.
Vote ID : 381298 Homestyle barbecue
Vote ID : 381303 montgomery inn ribs!
Vote ID : 381304 More and better pizza, papa Johns
Vote ID : 381305 It would be nice to have ribs (although messy) or perhaps something deli or some ethnic cuisine.
Vote ID : 381306 Don't care. I would ask that they make the quality of the cheese coneys equivalent to those that are sold in the retail establishments everywhere else in the city. Hey, they cost the same amount! The chili gets kind of watery at the ballpark. Burger Beer, Hudepohl and Weidemans would also be a welcome addition. (Kidding. Hey, can you get Little Kings there? Never thought to look. That would be nice.)

Vote ID : 381733 I would like to see a kiosk with Big Klu's right behind the Red's dugout on the first base concourse. There are plenty of food options, but the current set-up requires you to walk forever to find THE booth that has what you want. With kids, it can take forever to get everybody what they want because you have to go to 2-3 boothes that all have long lines.
Vote ID : 381743 Goetta Dogs.
Vote ID : 381744 More low fat, low calorie choices. Example TCBY or some other fat free yogurt would be great (look at Newberry's frozen soft serve desert). People like me would be willing to hike to anyplace in the park to get healthy foods, so why not make a single food service stand with multiple healthy choices.

Vote ID : 381833 the selection is already huge. is it really necessary to have such entrees at a baseball game? whatever happened to a hot dog and coke...its a baseball game. face it, people dont come to a game because of the food selection. i think any more added items is overkill.

Vote ID : 382045 Frisch's, perhaps
Vote ID : 382048 More local beers at more locations. It's a crime that we have such great local beers, especially Barrelhouse and they only offer one Barrelhouse beer and at only 1-2 locations. If I'm paying $5-6 per beer, I want a good one! Other than the Montgomery Inn food (and the Skyline), the food is pretty bland fare.

Vote ID : 382974 There are tons of hot dog stands but no hamburger stands. I'd like to see at least on concession stand on each side of the stadium offer hamburger. Not everyone likes hot dogs. Steakburgers are good, I'd like to keep them but I usually have a hankering for just a plain old hamburger like they have at the Paul Brown Stadium which I could doctor up with mustard, ketchup, lettuce, onions and a tomato.

Vote ID : 383171 A hot dog under $2.00 and a beer under $4.00
Vote ID : 383181 Chicken fingers basket. Should be easy to make since you just have to fry them up. Would be great with Montgomery Inn BBQ sauce and saratoga chips (or fries as an alternate).
Vote ID : 383200 The selection is adequate but the preparation and distribution need to be greatly improved. Why is the distribution so limited along the upper deck first base line ?
Vote ID : 383214 Really does not matter if there is not a quality product on the field, adding another overpriced food item to the menu will not help
Vote ID : 383224 Food selection was fine for the most part, but accessibility was not. The sun/moon deck didn't have some of the selections available that most patrons enjoyed; ie. ICE CREAM !!!

Vote ID : 377872 fireworks
Vote ID : 377876 lower seating prices
Vote ID : 377877 see 28
Vote ID : 377878 No, they need to spend the money and get us a winning product on the field. I would rather be in Cinergy and win.
Vote ID : 377881 Ushers need to let the fans live a little.
Vote ID : 377882 xx
Vote ID : 377885 Get rid of the between-inning interviews, louder music with more variety, get the crowd more into the game.
Vote ID : 377891 Please get rid of the silliness between innings and the music that is as loud as Bogarts. It's a baseball game not a concert!! I don't go to the ballgame to sit and listen to "Hot for Teacher" by Van Halenm, so loud I can't talk with my friends seated next to me.
Vote ID : 377896 NO
Vote ID : 377897 Nothing that you can change now. I would have turned it around so that you can see the city from the outfield, like PNC in Pittsburgh
Vote ID : 377902 Cheaper tickets and food.
Vote ID : 377903 no
Vote ID : 377904 Bring back the homerun fireworks to let the city know when a Red hit a homerun or when the team won a ballgame.
Vote ID : 377910 beer men
Vote ID : 377913 Pitching
Vote ID : 377916 More competitive team. If the team does not improve over the winter I probably will only go to one or two games compared to five to ten. New ballpark only goes so far when traveling over a 100 miles to see the game.
Vote ID : 377918 more fan participation events more music between innings...more current tunes anyway....
Vote ID : 377921 Smoking seating sections. Kids free sections. Cheaper beer and food.
Vote ID : 377922 It will be nice when the rest of the construction, including the Reds' Hall of Fame, is completed.
Vote ID : 377923 not really--its just a beautiful park
Vote ID : 377930 More entrances/exits, but I believe that is already supposed to happen.
Vote ID : 377931 See above.
Vote ID : 377936 The spots on the smoke stacks should be a target to hit in critical situations and not just a series of ads for companies. At the first game the targets happened to come up when Adam Dunn was at the plate, with a man on. I thought that was the plan. Later I found out it was just a random happening. Also remembering back to Crosley (I had season tickets there also) the player that hit the laundry signe won a new suit. What if a Reds player would hit something (like the targets) and all the fans would receive a coupon for a free Pepsi. If 30,000 people if would cost the sponsor about $60,000 or less depending on how much they would pay for drinks or maybe a ticket to get a free game ticket if you buy a game ticket (Buy one and get two). The fans would be very interested when the situation come up and the targets were lit.
Vote ID : 377939 Character. Where are all the penant banners in the rafters. Less Cement in the concourses more character. Oldest baseball franchize and you would never know it.
Vote ID : 377942 The Auxiliary Boards have great video capabilities but are only used for advertisements. That was a negative first impression that has stuck with me.
Vote ID : 377943 Eliminate the between innings sales pitches. I know this will never go away, but it's a nice thought.
Vote ID : 377944 Next time a game time on Sunday is changed from a day game to a night game it would be nice to give ticketholders a chance to exchange tickets.I couldn't attend the ESPN covered game because. I had to work at 3:30 A.M.Monday and there wasn't enough motice given for me to try to sell my tickets ,even at a loss.
Vote ID : 377946 more concession areas...get rid of the smoke stacks. the smoke settles in the field as if it was a cloudy day
Vote ID : 377951 Cheaper Ticket prices for the low payroll team that we have to watch.
Vote ID : 377954 how the reds play on the field...Just kidding. Focus on the team. Getting to know the team since we hardly do. Get the team more involved with the fans instead of the little "sideshows" that go on. Make a NICE place to have the retired jerseys. We have a great history why not embrace it?
Vote ID : 377955 no comment
Vote ID : 377956 Bring back the organ players between innings and loose the pre recorded music.
Vote ID : 377959 not really
Vote ID : 377964 make the fireworks in the smoke stacks as luod as the old stadium
Vote ID : 377966 No
Vote ID : 377968 less noise between plays! no kids "boing"ing noises for foul balls. it's overdone. some is ok, but this is excessive.
Vote ID : 377969 find something unique and start a tradition and not borrow between innings entertainment from everyone else. be original like the louisville bats
Vote ID : 377971 Get rid of Gapper. Get major league baseball players.
Vote ID : 377972 Let the kids run the bases WITH the players once in a while
Vote ID : 377974 I would have made better use of the outfield stands and the river. I think PNC Park and PacBell made better use of their nearby water. It would be cool if a batter could actually clear the right field wall and splash one into the Ohio.
Vote ID : 377976 no
Vote ID : 377977 More kiss-cam type entertainment
Vote ID : 377979 More activities b/t innings, more chances for everyone in the park to win something; And more announcing, seemed quiet during and b/t innings.
Vote ID : 377982 Gladiator fights with Tigers and midget contests with Cubs to stay true to MLB themes. Maybe we can fill it with water for mock sea adventures with Devil Rays and Marlins...
Vote ID : 377983 #14 on the retired numbers wall.
Vote ID : 377984 Better music between batters and innings
Vote ID : 377999 Open the gates a little earlier
Vote ID : 378000 I would add some more tributes to former players, or banners, or something to liven up the inside of the stadium.
Vote ID : 378002 lower ticket prices so that we can afford to take in more games.
Vote ID : 378003 Institute variable pricing based on how well the team is doing. I'll be holding my breath on that one.
Vote ID : 378004 Need loud fireworks back. Also need more TV's or more smoking areas in the concourse area, so I can follow the action while smoking a cigarette. Except for the outfield there is no place to smoke and watch the game. My seats are behind home plate (upper deck), and technically not allowed to smoke there. I also think that the past history needs to be displayed more in the ballpark and not outside. I would enjoy seeing banners representing our past accomplishments whilw watching the game, instead of having to walk outside and go find them.
Vote ID : 378007 provide cushions for all the seats.
Vote ID : 378008 Take away all the stupid noises and between innings "entertainment".
Vote ID : 378013 better entertainment between innings, make Gapper more accessable, play some better music
Vote ID : 378020 Louder Fireworks
Vote ID : 378022 too crowded on the lower deck between 1st and 3rd
Vote ID : 378025 Can't think of any right off.
Vote ID : 378026 NOTHING AT THIS POINT. I PARK IN KENTUCKY AND WALK. IT'S A BIT DIFFICULT GETTING TO THE BALLPARK FROM THE BACKSIDE BUT I'M SURE THAT WILL CHANGE IN TIME.
Vote ID : 378031 EXTREMELY charismatic aisle vendors... completely outrageous sorts.
Vote ID : 378033 yes the parking and i would like to have the organ played more often.

Vote ID : 378049 Add/go back to the aerial fireworks!!!!
Vote ID : 378050 Better food; cheaper food
Vote ID : 378051 more comfortable seats
Vote ID : 378052 between innings is cheesy, my friends agree, my parents agree, and even my 18 month old little girl agrees.nobody cares if bob is from west chester or fairfield unless he's going to do something entertaining and predicting who will get a hit next inning is not entertaining. entertaining feature.

Vote ID : 378073 Allow people to move up seats after the 5th inning or so when the game is not close to a sellout.
Vote ID : 378082 how the team is being managed
Vote ID : 378084 The product put onto the field
Vote ID : 378086 OWNERSHIP !!!!!!!!!!!!
Vote ID : 378088 Make between innings a little less annoying. The volume of that chick is TOO loud! Maybe have Mr. Red and Gapper race. and bring back the old Mr. Red Race.
Vote ID : 378094 I GO TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS ON THE FIELD, AND ULTIMATELY HOW NICE THE STADIUM IS DOES NOT MATTER. LOOK, I'VE BEEN TO SHEA. BUT IT IS NICER WHEN YOU'VE BEEN TO A NEW STADIUM SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS CLEANER.
Vote ID : 378100 Turn down the volume on the between inning festivities for those of us who are there to be entertained by baseball and not all the other stuff . Sometimes it's so loud I can't hear the person next to me. At Cinergy, it was so nice to see old clips of great baseball plays between innings. Now it's poeple kissing or cartoon characters racing. It's a baseball stadium, I want baseball.
Vote ID : 378103 no
Vote ID : 378105 I DON'T KNOW OF ANYTHING
Vote ID : 378107 More give aways
Vote ID : 378111 Stop all the smoking on all the concourses, especially first base side, you can't even walk past there without 2nd hand in your face. Plus the gift stands have smokers all around it as well. Basically ya can't breathe while shopping with your kid. Need a large gift shop enclosed area on the lower level instead of the upper deck area, it's too small. Show some real history in the stadium, the retired #s look too modern? Get rid of the smokestacks and replace them with large pepsi bottles?
Vote ID : 378112 Open the gates in time to watch the Reds take BP.
Vote ID : 378114 Let the fans move down to better seats late in the game.
Vote ID : 378116 too numerous to mention
Vote ID : 378117 Loud fireworks, like we used to have.
Vote ID : 378118 More access to the players, they need to be more fan friendly without having to be forced to.
Vote ID : 378119 Great
Vote ID : 378123 Bring back the oldstyle feel of the games. Knock off the Pepsi crew etc.. Last I knew it was a Major League game.. not the Toledo Mud Hens.
Vote ID : 378125 please give us some lively music
Vote ID : 378127 Finish the Hall of Fame, Rose garden and statue in Crosely Terrace ASAP, move the Dugout shop, bring more vendors into the stands.
Vote ID : 378129 The grumpy ushers
Vote ID : 378132 Better traffic flow down first base line
Vote ID : 378137 More historical, more personal with current players.
Vote ID : 378138 More between inning activities. I know that there are activities each inning, but only in one or two sections.
Vote ID : 378141 good park.
Vote ID : 378142 how the reds play on the field
Vote ID : 378147 LESS ROCK MUSIC, MORE ORGAN MUSIC
Vote ID : 378158 retractable roof
Vote ID : 378162 Trying to walk around the park during the game is a nightmare. The lines at the concession stands are ridiculous, causing people to not be able to walk around comfortably.
Vote ID : 378166 Lower some of the lower level seat prices.
Vote ID : 378167 Center field-loose all the BS between innings-music is great-highlights are great-I don't like all the promo's and advertising between innings
Vote ID : 378172 to much to list
Vote ID : 378173 Less expensive seats
Vote ID : 378174 NO!
Vote ID : 378175 Build a parking garage close!
Vote ID : 378176 Seats for children
Vote ID : 378182 The management
Vote ID : 378183 Drinking/non-drinking sections. Team on field is so poor many fans are drunk by 4th inning and their display is not good for young children.
Vote ID : 378187 More entertainment between innings
Vote ID : 378190 lower food prices. Have real fireworks for the homeruns. Better mid inning entertainment. Show off the history of cincinnati reds baseball better. Create something that actually stands out(i.e. McCovey cove, center field in minute maid).
Vote ID : 378191 No
Vote ID : 378192 Ushers keeping people from walking up and down the aisles when I'm trying to watch the game. They should actually work during the game instead of standing around talking to each other. No lines when entering. Open more gates! Ban umbrellas. How about some adult only sections (no kids allowed).
Vote ID : 378194 Find a way to make the players more accessible to the fans.
Vote ID : 378195 Prices have gotten to the point were at best I can only go to one game each year. I used to go to as many as 15 each year. Where is this money going? We have no salaries to pay for any more, shouldn't prices come down some?
Vote ID : 378198 I'm not worried about the Reds play on the field. Rather, the Reds who are playing on the field is what I would like to change. If I'm going to pay money to go see the Reds there needs to be some money invested in the Reds players.
Vote ID : 378199 I'm not worried about the Reds play on the field. Rather, the Reds who are playing on the field is what I would like to change. If I'm going to pay money to go see the Reds there needs to be some money invested in the Reds players.
Vote ID : 378202 not sure
Vote ID : 378205 FIREWORKS DAMNIT
Vote ID : 378209 fix the long lines at the concessions. Add a second big scoreboard. People in left center can't see the scoreboard!!
Vote ID : 378210 Have a set inning and location where Gapper and Mr Red are meeting fans and signing autographs. At a couple of the games that we went to, my three year old son was very disappointed that he did not get to shake Mr. Red's hand. We were in the view level box and the mascots never came up there and we were never able to see them when walking around the concourse of the main level. Several other clubs do this especially in the minors.
Vote ID : 378211 a new CEO & owner, the Park itself is fine
Vote ID : 378214 I GO TO THE PARK TO ENJOY A GOOD GAME I COULD CARE A LESS ABOUT THE STADIUM GIVE ME WINS.
Vote ID : 378218 no.
Vote ID : 378219 Like I said earlier, just a better color scheme woud work wonders. It's a nice little park that serves it's purpose well. It's fan friendly and clean....Although at times it reminds me of Riverfront, and that's a place I would like to forget about when I'm at the Great American Ballpark.
Vote ID : 378220 Fire works that make some noise,and an owner that is committed to WINNING!
Vote ID : 378225 You could open up the same day ticket counter earlier than when you open up the gate and open more than 2 counters when they do open up. You could also open up the gates earlier than 5:45 on 7:05 games and at least let the fans that want too see there home team finish BP.
Vote ID : 378228 Improve access to buses in leaving games departing for Covington, Newport, etc., providing opportunities near the park without hindering others who are trying to reach their cars.
Vote ID : 378230 More areas outside of the ball park to do stuff. More of a complex.
Vote ID : 378232 I heard that many of the Newer ballparks like the Padres, and Phillies that open next year have computers in the fist couple of rows in the stadium, and also in the concourse. I think that would be really cool. Also, I wish Homeruns could be hit into the river.
Vote ID : 378234 Yes. I would have more vendors selling non-alcoholic drinks. I don't drink beer, and rarely see a vendor selling anything but. If I want a soda, I gotta get up and go get one. Also, I understand there is a lot of construction right now, but I think it's silly to have all the available parking near the stadium be for pass holders only. Need some parking for the regular guys.
Vote ID : 378237 At $10 for parking, $42-60 for 3 seats, and $20 for refreshments, a family trip to see a ballgame is always a special occasion rather than something we can do just because we want to. I would love to be able to see 10-12 games per year rather than 4, 5, or 6.
Vote ID : 378242 autograph sessions for everyone from past and present Reds players
Vote ID : 378245 Finish it.
Vote ID : 378254 no
Vote ID : 378255 no
Vote ID : 378256 No, not really. It's fine the way it is.
Vote ID : 378257 No, not really. It's fine the way it is.
Vote ID : 378258 More color in the ballpark (reds, blacks, greens) to liven it up to make it feel like a home to a historic baseball team and not just a steel and concrete structure in Cincinnati
Vote ID : 378259 get rid of the Great American Ballpark Sign & Smoke Stacks
Vote ID : 378262 ball girls
Vote ID : 378263 I miss the thundering fireworks that announce a homerun and would like to see the smaller scoreboards used more for game info instead of advertising.
Vote ID : 378265 new stacks, more lifelike, get rid of the pepsi "eyes"
Vote ID : 378266 Yeah, fire John Allen, if I have to look at his or Uncle Carl's face I think I would puke. They make something like a new ballpark that should last for 30+ years into something that is substandard. It got bad reviews and I agree. How did Pittsburg build a better park in less time and for less money? Someone is making bad decisions and I think it Allen.
Vote ID : 378269 More in between inning stuff with Gapper. It seems like he hides somewhere most of the game.
Vote ID : 378270 Return the Mr. Reds race to its original 2-D, all-Mr. Red format. Put up some flags or signs for the Reds' various titles, as well as representations for the other NL teams (those half-hearted things in right field don't count.) BAN THE BLESSID UNION OF SOULS DISC ... it's soooooo lame, as is that silly "goooo" chant.
Vote ID : 378274 No.
Vote ID : 378277 better scoreboards for those people sitting where they can't see the main one
Vote ID : 378278 YES STOP ALL THE ING security bull hassels. No body cares about Cincinnati

Vote ID : 378300 fire works,food prices. 3 bucks for a coke ?
Vote ID : 378304 na
Vote ID : 378312 I think it is still a work in progress, there will probably be many more kiosks and the like, I am willing to be patient
Vote ID : 378313 More music between innings
Vote ID : 378320 NO, I THINK THEY DO AN EXCELLENT JOB BETWEEN INNINGS AND TO GET THE SPIRIT OF THE CROWD GOING. THEY ALSO DO A LOT TO INVOLVE THE FANS BETWEEN INNINGS.
Vote ID : 378321 Cheaper prices for tickets, if the Reds aren't serious about putting a good product on the field.
Vote ID : 378323 no
Vote ID : 378325 please consider attempting to recreate the sepia pictures of former reds that were a fixture at Crosley Field. I always remember them as huge and terrific.
Vote ID : 378328 more smoking areas

Vote ID : 378347 no
Vote ID : 378348 Funny how you worded this question, since you already KNOW that fans WANT a WINNING, (NOT just competitive), a WINNING TEAM to watch.
Vote ID : 378353 More history items that I can show/share with my kids. At Comerica, they have Kiosks showing the highlights for each era from Ty Cobb to today.
Vote ID : 378356 No alcohol
Vote ID : 378358 I would like it to be easier to get to the Machine Room Grille. There should valet on non-game days.
Vote ID : 378360 Bring back the old fireworks when homeruns are hit.
Vote ID : 378361 Again, make sure everybody can follow the game through some sort of scoreboard. It is frustrating if you can not see how is at bat etc...
Vote ID : 378362 cheerleaders
Vote ID : 378364 A peanut free section. I'm allegric to peanuts and I have left every game I've been to feeling a bit ill. I recognize that peanuts are part of baseball but that will limit the number of times I come to the ballpark in the future. And it's not just me that I'm concerned about. Peanut allergy is not rare and it is shared by many kids.
Vote ID : 378365 no
Vote ID : 378370 See 28
Vote ID : 378371 NONE
Vote ID : 378374 NA
Vote ID : 378375 The common area behind first base is jammed and cluttered; making it almost impossible to walk through when there are medium to large crowds
Vote ID : 378376 I hesitate to judge it until it is all complete. I have been to several parks the last couple of years, The Jake, Detroit, Seattle, KC, Atlanta, Milwaukee..I like the newer look of GABP. But what I don't care for it is the lack of overall walking space around the park. It needs more common areas, similar to Atlanta or Detroit. Other than that..it's different than the others..nothing stands out tremendously from the other new ones except the smokestacks. But a fine place to watch a game. And tickets are reasonable, I think.
Vote ID : 378378 make it easier to get out when game over
Vote ID : 378383 Less hoopla between innings.
Vote ID : 378386 Put more game info on the auxiliary scoreboards
Vote ID : 378387 I would ask the ushers to be a bit more courteous.
Vote ID : 378388 Fire the ushers and hire young friendly employees. They already have some, the young Reds employees working the Club Seats.
Vote ID : 378391 turn down the volumn on the speakers
Vote ID : 378392 be able to get into the ball park earlier so you can see the Reds take batting practice also.
Vote ID : 378395 not really,.....it's a great place to watch a game,...I went to about 15-18 games this year, sat in every area of the park and that it was done real well.
Vote ID : 378396 More between inning fan entertainment. Pepsi group stinks. Kroger Fan Cam is silly. Kiss Cam and Flex Cam were fun. More player accessability (autographs, etc.).
Vote ID : 378398 Move smoking area down steps to behind visitor bullpen. Move some vendors to free space in right field concourse. Lower ticket prices for some seats. More historical displays.
Vote ID : 378401 don't know
Vote ID : 378402 no
Vote ID : 378408 Get me on the field
Vote ID : 378412 The scorebaord should entertain you before the game and in-between innings. Show famious plays from the Reds glory days.
Vote ID : 378415 move that black thing in center field linder sell that team
Vote ID : 378418 More discount nights, especially against lesser teams or on less-popular nights(Mondays, etc.)
Vote ID : 378420 N/A
Vote ID : 378422 Give season ticket holders some benefit to buy season tickets. There wasn't a big enough discount or incentive to buy them this year or next.
Vote ID : 378423 No.
Vote ID : 378426 No
Vote ID : 378427 no
Vote ID : 378429 If the team played better, the stadium becomes almost irrelevant. Sorry, but the team matters most.
Vote ID : 378432 Get rid of gapper.
Vote ID : 378436 no
Vote ID : 378437 -
Vote ID : 378439 No
Vote ID : 378440 WHEN THE ENTIRE FACILITY IS COMPLETE IT WILL BE MUCH MORE ENJOYABLE BUT I LOVE IT NOW. Never really cared for Cinergy/Riverfront. With all the history, it was just too sterile.
Vote ID : 378441 better fire works
Vote ID : 378444 Better entertainment between innings. Better sound system clarity. I can't make out the words much of the time.
Vote ID : 378445 The play on the field is really the most important thing that would make GABP more enjoyable...and until I better understand what this organization is trying to do with this team I and my family will not attend any games.
Vote ID : 378452 Cheaper ticket prices
Vote ID : 378453 Better entertainment between innings (like minor league ball parks)
Vote ID : 378454 Easier access which I am sure will come next year
Vote ID : 378457 Lower prices on food. You can't take a family there and feed them. It's a shame.
Vote ID : 378459 Easier access to the upper level seats. It takes forever to get an elevator.
Vote ID : 378460 Prices!
Vote ID : 378461 Better players.
Vote ID : 378464 Hopefully, next year when the first base side is complete, the concession lines will be shorter and there will be more room to walk after the game.
Vote ID : 378468 Install monitors behind the field level seats in left field above the visitors scoreboard. You can't see the main board from there, and there is no place to see a replay
Vote ID : 378471 Better in between inning entertainment. And those side scoreboards are useless for baseball information. They are just advertisements the whole time. At Safeco Field in Seattle, they have a section on the side scoreboards that lists the last 3 plays. This is convenient if you are in line or at the restroom (or not paying attention) so you can catch up on what happened in the inning.
Vote ID : 378472 Make it affordable for a family
Vote ID : 378475 Make it affordable for a family
Vote ID : 378477 More in-seat concessions, turn down the volume on the between-innings music - it's hard to talk to anyone
Vote ID : 378478 the ramps to levels are to narrow
Vote ID : 378480 I think it's too late for most good suggestions. But at least restrict the vendors in the aisles.
Vote ID : 378481 Get rid of that obnoxious, distorted "GOOOOOOOOO" sound clip that the PA system seems to play every inning.
Vote ID : 378482 Other than consession waiting waiting time...I would like to see more of the Reds' history on display. I know they're building the museum, but there should be more of that stuff in the ball park. More pictures of former players, or some Cincinnati history in general. Something to make the park more indicative of the City. How about selling some Hudey beer?
Vote ID : 378483 Just add more Davey's cones stands! Oh yeah..and more stands need to sell Budweiser. On the upper deck there are only two stands that sell it, and sometimes one or both of them are not even open if there is a smaller crowd.
Vote ID : 378485 When there is a bobble head give away, quit being cheap and only giving it to the first 10,000. I have a three hour drive to get to a game. Hard to get there early enough to get in line for 5 hours to make sure you get one of the give-aways that you came for. REALLY POOR TASTE!!!!
Vote ID : 378489 Aside from the previously mentioned price issues, have WLW playing outside the stadium as people are coming in and leaving.
Vote ID : 378491 No, I think it's a very nice place great atmosphere and what a way to spend a summer evening with family and friends.
Vote ID : 378497 On field activities after the game. i.e. kids run the bases, etc.
Vote ID : 378499 parking
Vote ID : 378500 No
Vote ID : 378501 lower the ticket prices a little.
Vote ID : 378503 Unfortunately the game alone isn't as interesting to people anymore, so to put people in the seats there will need to be more between-inning entertainment. Also, hold more promotions.
Vote ID : 378505 More entertainment between innings. Flags for the standings in each division.
Vote ID : 378506 Reduce the concession lines, particularly along the first base side, and increase number of beer vendors roaming the seats.
Vote ID : 378507 I would put in another scoreboard.
Vote ID : 378512 none
Vote ID : 378513 More recognition of the team's rich history. The Hall of Fame and Museum will do part of this, but it should also be an active part of the field.
Vote ID : 378514 I would come to more games if the prices were a little lower but otherwise I enjoy things the way they are
Vote ID : 378518 More entrances and exits.
Vote ID : 378523 Not allow unsupervised children and teens to move from seat to seat to find unoccupied better seating.
Vote ID : 378532 Yes concession prices and should have free parking since we not only paid for the stadiums we should be able to at least receive something for our money.
Vote ID : 378535 See above comments on the long scoreboards. Jesus, they're annoying!
Vote ID : 378538 The Park is fine.
Vote ID : 378539 More access (ramps, stairs, elevators) to the upper Deck. Extend Canopy over most of the upper deck.
Vote ID : 378548 make wheelchair seats available for sell on the internet. I am in a chair and it is easier than having to go the ticket window and I can get the tickets in advance.
Vote ID : 378549 No
Vote ID : 378550 Play more music, turn up the speakers and play to the crowd. Makes it more fun.
Vote ID : 378551 No. If the ownership gives up, so do I. I haven't been there since Boone was fired, I will give them another chance next year, but if do the same thing, so will I.
Vote ID : 378552 In 2003, I was surprised to see flush handles on the urinals. Where's the Autoflush that we have all come to love!
Vote ID : 378553 No.
Vote ID : 378558 The Mr. Red race on the scoreboard should be the same at the new park as it was at Cinergy Field.
Vote ID : 378559 Lower beer prices.
Vote ID : 378561 Take away the pepsi guys, and the stupid guy doing trivia between innings.
Vote ID : 378565 sell it to lindner
Vote ID : 378567 same as above
Vote ID : 378569 Cheaper food prices
Vote ID : 378571 All in all, the park is acceptable...but I would prefer a winning club in Crosley Field than a Single A Team in Great American. Uncle Carl is going to have to sell one hell of a lot of milkshakes to make up for the lost revenue if he puts another dog on the field next year.
Vote ID : 378572 Ticket prices are still too high, and I think the policy of not tearing tickets at the gate could lead to fraud.
Vote ID : 378573 I would implode it.
Vote ID : 378575 NO
Vote ID : 378578 I go for the game not what the park has to offer.
Vote ID : 378579 More excitement after homeruns and victories; better fireworks!
Vote ID : 378584 lower prices
Vote ID : 378585 The fireworks from the smokestacks are pitiful. Everyone has remarked on how tame they are.
Vote ID : 378586 The quality of the team makes the experience enjoyable, not the surroundings. That has worn off.
Vote ID : 378591 Small kids have a hard time seeing if an adult sits infront of them (Boosters would be nice).
Vote ID : 378600 No
Vote ID : 378602 If the Reds are going to put an inferior team on the field and expect fans to still come and watch the AA team, Carl needs to cut ticket prices as incentives should the Reds fall 15 games out of first place. I would still come because I love baseball, but not pay full price to see what I can see here in Dayton with the Dragons, and have more fun doing it.
Vote ID : 378603 More wins = fans in seats.
Vote ID : 378607 cheaper drink prices!
Vote ID : 378612 Get that parking lot finished ASAP!
Vote ID : 378619 Make it a little more colorful inside. Both GABP and PBS are vanilla stadiums.
Vote ID : 378627 I would get rid of Gapper. Show more baseball highlights, especially old Reds highlights, between innings. Make it a baseball experience. The Reds could do alot more to increase the baseball entertainment bang for the buck.
Vote ID : 378628 I'd like to see selection at the concession stands be less confusing. Several times this year, I've waited in a long line at the concessions only to find they don't sell some of what I'm looking for. Like nachos are available only some places, then you have to wait in a different line for soft pretzels. Why is that? Just sell all the basic items at all the concession stands. Don't make me walk from stand to stand trying to figure out who has what. Plus, the wait times are too long. I admire that you get volunteer groups to man the booths, but every time I've gone to the same stand, it has a different group of people. And, while they try hard, they aren't competent and take waaaay too much time to fill orders.
Vote ID : 378631 I don't know. Somethings missing, but I can't put a finger on it.
Vote ID : 378632 management
Vote ID : 378633 The team sucks and if the team sucks why would you go to the park and watch them play? Isn't this the same stupid question that the Bengals asked last year on their survey to suiteholders? Didn't the Reds learn anything from that fiasco?
Vote ID : 378634 bigger secondary scoreboards
Vote ID : 378636 It takes a full inning to get from the upper deck to the lower deck because there is no slope in the ramps and the escalators are only running up. You can't see the scoreboard from half the third base line. The smoke stacks are pitiful and the fireworks lame. When you are watching the game on TV, there is no distinct characteristic of the playing field that tells you that you are in GABP.
Vote ID : 378641 N/A
Vote ID : 378643 Get rid of those smoke bombs that emit from the stacks when a home run is hit.......nothing was neater than the Kroger fire works.
Vote ID : 378644 lower concession prices, especially the beverages.
Vote ID : 378651 Make sure the ushers are friendly! This is so key, and for some reason in Cincinnati we have a problem finding friendly ushers!
Vote ID : 378653 in-between inning entertainment could be a bit more exciting and creative
Vote ID : 378657 maybe a speed pitch
Vote ID : 378658 The design is too bland and has no real unity. You can't change that at this point. I much prefer PNC park in Pittsburgh.
Vote ID : 378661 Make the fireworks shoot higher, improve the wait for food in the first base concourse, and paint the concourse area with something other than white...it looks like Riverfront.
Vote ID : 378663 I love the way you phrased that question.
Vote ID : 378665 Change some of the women's restrooms to men's
Vote ID : 378666 none
Vote ID : 378668 Cheaper Beer prices - it makes it difficult to o to games when you know you are gonna drop $100 on food and beer atthe game.
Vote ID : 378669 More banners, monuments, etc.inside the stadium to hi-light the Red's past history. Eject fans earlier if they are drunk and interferring with other fans from watching the game. I witnessed a fan in left field be ejected in the 8th or 9th inning when he probably should have been gone alot sooner.
Vote ID : 378670 Would there be anyway of getting Gapper more involved in between innings and befor the game. Hate to use this example, but Slider of the hated Indians, plays around with the infield crew. Other mascots are seen more. I think Gapper only shows up for 1/2 inning.
Vote ID : 378671 Keep it festive before the games and in between innings
Vote ID : 378673 Left Field Scoreboards, and food.
Vote ID : 378674 Left Field Scoreboards, and food.
Vote ID : 378675 I truly enjoyed my season there, it was nice to walk through the stadium and take in the murals and overall feel of the ballpark.
Vote ID : 378677 No.
Vote ID : 378679 Reduce the length of the lines and the wait for entering the ballpark when the the attendance is over 30,000. This is a terrible annoyance when trying to enter with young children because of the time standing and the rustling of other fans by your kids while in line.
Vote ID : 378680 Getting in is still a little tough. There is too much traffic hitting the main gate. If parking was more convenient to other gates, it would be better.
Vote ID : 378681 Good Fireworks!
Vote ID : 378683 Turn the music up and play longer snipits before Reds hitters dig in. The fact that each section has a different choice of beer is odd. I might not want Miller products, but there are certain sections where only Miller is sold. The seat angles are fine, but the cup holders get in the way and are angled so that you have to finish part of your drink before using them. What was so hard about placing your drink under your seat?
Vote ID : 378685 Have a college night. You have 5 college's in the local area. Have a Happy Hour for the first few innings where beer is $2 instead of $4 or $5. Have all the college kids in the left field bleachers. Try a $1 dog night where hot dogs are cheap. Or a family night where with a purchase of a ticket you get a hotdog and drink for free. The more people you bring in, the bigger profit you'll make.
Vote ID : 378687 Fix the scoreboards!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vote ID : 378693 Do something with the Btater's eye to make it more appealing.
Vote ID : 378696 Hmmm, I'd to think on that one but right now I cant think of anything.
Vote ID : 378697 i guess i'm out of the loop but i feel the game should entertain the fans...i detest all the shenanigans that go on between innings
Vote ID : 378698 Teach all the food vendors to be courteous - especially the skyline chili personnel.
Vote ID : 378699 Add another big scoreboard so that everyone can see it. There are a lot of seats that you can't see the scoreboard. Vote ID : 378700 Not fair that you would exclude the Red's play on the field...that is the only thing that would make it more enjoyable.
Vote ID : 378702 Build an entertain district around the ballpark - restaurants and bars. Newport and Covington doesn't count.
Vote ID : 378704 n
Vote ID : 378705 more player interaction with fans
Vote ID : 378706 Bring back the old "big red smokeys" commercial. Also make the Mr. Red's race the way it was. you can have the digital people on the jumbotron but you need to have the heads moving across the scoreboard as well, Like they had at cinergy
Vote ID : 378708 Another scoreboard for the folks in the 3rd base side of the field.
Vote ID : 378709 Let the kids walk the field and meet the players after the games.
Vote ID : 378710 For goodness sakes, get Marty's "and this one belongs to the Reds" saying up on the outside of the building. It is glaring in it's absence!
Vote ID : 378711 Bring back the "big bang" fireworks of the Riverfront/Cinergy era. Also, replace the "pitch count" scoreboard on the facade of the left field upper deck with a regular auxiliary scoreboard.
Vote ID : 378712 This is a terrible question. You cannot simply say "aside from how the Reds play on the field". This is the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....10 priority for making the experience more enjoyable. Don't discount this as if it is nothing that can be controlled. Make the investment in the team, and fans will come.
Vote ID : 378715 Need more auxiliary Scoreboards to track R H E and each innning.
Vote ID : 378717 Keep doing the bobble head give aways and other good ones, like the "Opening day" baseballs and the replica stadium.
Vote ID : 378718 -
Vote ID : 378719 Lower prices on food
Vote ID : 378720 Nothing comes to mind.
Vote ID : 378722 See above comments regarding food.
Vote ID : 378726 Not really
Vote ID : 378728 yes, a team that wins.
Vote ID : 378729 I understand the machine room is only open to season ticket holders? I don't know if that is true. I hope it could be open to others.
Vote ID : 378732 Had to word it that way, did you?! Concession lines are really the only problem we have.
Vote ID : 378733 The ownership.
Vote ID : 378736 no
Vote ID : 378737 More game used equipment for sale at the ballpark-now that the game used equipment has mysteriously dissapeared from the Dugout Shop.
Vote ID : 378739 Better food and drink choices and better service.
Vote ID : 378741 Better and closer parking.
Vote ID : 378743 Friendlier ushers. Also you shopuld be able to set where you want if no one is claiming that seat. Take some advice from other ball parks. They are a lot more fan friendly. GABP is to0 restrictive with too many don'ts and rules. Take some lessons from Wrigley, now that is what fun baseball truly is! Doesn't anyone in Cincy know how to make baseball fun? Why is that? I wish Ihad the job! This should not even be a problem!
Vote ID : 378745 Changes I would make would have to be taken into consideration when the next ballpark is buildt.
Vote ID : 378747 More organ music and pennants in order of division race on top of staduim.
Vote ID : 378749 Have a certain time before and after the game where the players will sign autographs - or have players hand out their signed picture. All kids want is a ball or autograph.
Vote ID : 378750 Winning/competitiveness is everything....put all efforts towards the personnel. The stadium is fine.
Vote ID : 378751 Have a "live" Mr. Red race in costumes on the field similar to the "Sausage" races in Milwaukee. The old Mr. Red race on the scoreboard at Cinergy was old fashioned looking, but tradition. The new graphic enhanced Mr. Red race is too hard to follow. Let's watch'em on the field..... Maybe we could put big "Mr. Red" costume heads on the Hooters girls and let them run and jiggle around the outfield... and when you do it, say it's because Chuck Johnson at US Bank downtown said so....
Vote ID : 378752 Batters eye. I know they don't want to tear something down already but it impedes the view of river and Newport for those on the lower lerels. From foul pole to foul pole could have been much more appealing.
Vote ID : 378753 Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?
Vote ID : 378754 xxx
Vote ID : 378755 More areas designed just for kids like a playground and some sort of mascot race like the sausage race in Milwaukee and the perogee race it Pittsburgh. The Reds could have a live Mr. Red race instead of the jumbotron version.
Vote ID : 378756 Cut down on the advertised events between innings.
Vote ID : 378757 it's location--to broadway commons
Vote ID : 378761 Have Gapper perform like a Major League Mascot (i.e. like the Chicken or Philly Phanatic). Re-design Mr. Red, he's hideous. Bascically, re-tool the whole in-between innings entertainment. I find it currently to be very sub-par.
Vote ID : 378764 More between inning on field promos
Vote ID : 378765 Fireworks
Vote ID : 378766 I sit on the front row of section 527 and people always seem to stand by the rail if there isn't anybody sitting in the hadicap seats. I wish the ushers would be more consistant with their removing of people because they block the view for us that have paid in our seats from seeing the action.
Vote ID : 378767 I do believe the retired numbers need to be UPGRADED and made more OBVIOUS! It's an honor to be retired and it should be displayed as such!
Vote ID : 378769 Drop the ticket prices. The Reds are charging championship price for an over-glorified minor league team.
Vote ID : 378774 Bring back the real fireworks. The smoke stacks going off after a homerun is stupid.
Vote ID : 378775 lower ticket prices
Vote ID : 378778 The luxury box in the wedge-opening should be removed. The Stealth Bomber (the Batter's Eye) in center field should be given back to the Air Force.
Vote ID : 378779 I have a few changes I would make and would love to talk to management about them.
Vote ID : 378780 Put up two screens opposite each other so the people in the bleacher seats can see whats going on without breaking their necks turning around.
Vote ID : 378782 There needs to be a family section. In the section there will be no beer and hopefully language will be controlled. We shouldn't have to explain to the kids the reason that guy is acting the way he does is because he is drunk. The seats do not have to be in the lower level but in the upper deck and discounted for buying in mulitple tickets. Example you can get 5 tickets for the price of 4 purchase on the day of the game. This encourages walk-up sales and gets you in the park to make additional purchases.
Vote ID : 378783 A moving walkway to downtown or a "people mover" like Detroit to move people to downtown so they're not "lost" after the game is over. The other thing I'd absolutley change is to add some "pop" to the fireworks. It used to be that when the city heard the fireworks you know to turn on the radio cause something good was happening. I live in North Avondale and all the neighborhood misses them.
Vote ID : 378786 I wish there were more people in the stands. It's no fun to go to a game where there are only 20,000 fans. But, obviously, that means the Reds have to play better.
Vote ID : 378788 A BETTER TEAM
Vote ID : 378789 Make it so you can see the river like the Giants stadium
Vote ID : 378790 Real fireworks after homeruns. Less time spent in line waiting for food. It basically takes us the same amount of time sometimes more than 2 innings) to get the same quality food we got at Cinergy. I think the only folks getting better food faster are paying $250 a seat.
Vote ID : 378791 I think it is a fine place to enjoy a ballgame. Ingress and egress is very easy.
Vote ID : 378792 More kids or activity areas like those at PBS. Don't believe I just wrote that!
Vote ID : 378793 If you're going to have artificial anything, be more creative. I say tear the Smokestacks out and replace them with an artificial tree similar to Disney's "Tree Of Life" in Florida. You could still have the 'cool zone' and shade, plus you could have concession stands or a restaurant inside the trunk of the tree. Imagine how a huge (artificial) Oak tree would look standing there with the river behind it. Don't forget the tire swing.
Vote ID : 378797 Ownership and John Allen then the play on the field even would be better
Vote ID : 378798 I think more brickwork, more ironwork, and more color. The Machine Room is good. I've been in the 4192 Club and it is nice, but that doesn't necessarily impress me, but I know stuff like that is important to a lot of people.
Vote ID : 378803 Kept riverfront with its blown-out wall and built an awesome new outfield seating/dining/lodging/bullpen/hall of fame complex to fill it out
Vote ID : 378806 Food value. $12 for a sandwich and a beer? Pitiful!
Vote ID : 378809 a kid's area like they have at Turner field in Atlanta or even as small as the one at Louisville Slugger field
Vote ID : 378810 NA
Vote ID : 378811 Move it to Broadway Commons.
Vote ID : 378813 cheaper ticket prices, of course
Vote ID : 378814 Maybe a post-game activity would be fun once in a while, like a concert or autographc signing.
Vote ID : 378815 More affordable eats and drinks.
Vote ID : 378817 More Marty & Joe on the concourse speakers. It's great that they have the specialty food concessions named for the oldtime Redlegs but they need to have more types of food available at every stand. There's a huge line to get dogs and such right next to a large concession area where all you can get is ice cream. If you could get your dogs at the ice cream concession too, it would help cut down the long lines.
Vote ID : 378820 Tell the scoreboard team to visit PNC Park and take notes. That have got it down perfectly.
Vote ID : 378821 See #28 above
Vote ID : 378824 I would like the scoreboard to keep track of each pitchers number of pitches, broken down by balls and strike. I would also like to see the speed of each pitch shown on the scoreboard.
Vote ID : 378826 Yes - less of that loud, annoying music. I want to go to a ballgame, not a music video.
Vote ID : 378828 Aside from the Reds' play on the field, there isn't much more I would change, except maybe the high cost of concessions.
Vote ID : 378829 no
Vote ID : 378830 have bars/entertainment nearby (ESPN Zone?)
Vote ID : 378833 FREE BEER
Vote ID : 378834 Better access to the upper deck.
Vote ID : 378835 Better access to the upper deck.
Vote ID : 378837 See question 29 for suggestions
Vote ID : 378839 better gift shops
Vote ID : 378840 The entry bar code readers are not intuitive - which is why the ushers have to do and it slows everything down on a busy game day. I say a reader that makes you want to stick you ticket under it rather that a reader that makes you want to shove your ticket in would help this.
Vote ID : 378844 Get more entertainment between innings... local bands, etc.
Vote ID : 378850 Nice disclaimer. Better fireworks.
Vote ID : 378853 No.
Vote ID : 378856 Have 3 players sign autographs before every home game at a designated area for 30 minutes
Vote ID : 378859 "tit" cam would keep me entertained
Vote ID : 378860 food and drink prices
Vote ID : 378862 "tit" cam would keep me entertained
Vote ID : 378864 in between innings entertainment
Vote ID : 378865 See number 28.
Vote ID : 378866 no
