A key anchor for Cincinnati's burgeoning riverfront development, the Great American Ball Park celebrates both the past and the future of Cincinnati's premier baseball team, the Cincinnati Reds. Features of the new ball park include a grass playing field, open concourses, a Reds Hall of Fame, and a majority of seats situated along the baseline sides of the field.

An exciting new attraction at the Great American Ball Park will be the Reds Hall of Fame, located in the northwest corner of the ball park. This facility will be one of the largest in baseball with room for a wide variety of permanent and traveling exhibits. The Hall of Fame also will house the official Reds retail store. Both facilities will be open year-round.

Just inside the ball park's main entrance is Crosley Terrace, the design of which was inspired by the Red's former home, Crosley Field. This landscaped grass area will be built at the same elevations as those at old Crosley and house statues of Crosley-era greats Ted Kluszewski, Ernie Lombardi, Joe Nuxhall and Frank Robinson.

The Red's administrative offices will be housed in buildings running parallel to Second Street. These buildings will also house concessions, restrooms and other conveniences. Between these buildings is "the Gap." A design feature unique to the Great American Ball Park, the Gap allows seating to wrap more closely around the ball park's baselines providing spectators with better views, and giving fans outside the park a great view straight down the first base line.

Most main concourses at the new ball park will be more than 40 feet wide - 20 feet wider than most Cinergy Field concourses. Fans walking around the field level of the ball park will enjoy views of the field. The number of concession areas also will increase by 60% as compared to the current facilities at Cinergy, with one concession window for every 190 fans.
