Play-By-Play

 

Picture Day: On Tuesday December 10 from 3:00-4:00 p.m., the Great American Ball Park project team will host another media opportunity for still and video photographers. This month’s Picture Day will give photographers the chance to “shoot” the ball park from the southeastern portion of the outfield, next to the Batter’s Eye facility.

As with every Picture Day opportunity, proper attire for those attending is required. Individuals wearing dresses, skirts, high heels, open-toed shoes or gym shoes will not be allowed onto the job site. Participants must wear long pants and hard-soled shoes to proceed. Prior to entering, individuals are required to sign a waiver of release. Everyone must wear a hard hat throughout the duration of his or her time in the construction zone. The Project Safety Manager reserves the right to deny entry to anyone not dressed properly for the work site.
