 | Crews are installing the ballpark’s exterior speakers this week. There
will be 56 speakers lined along the upper deck canopy. Speakers also will
be installed in bathrooms, concession areas and concourses. Workers
estimate that sound system testing will begin in early December.
|
| Workers are installing seat standards in the upper deck behind home
plate. These standards will serve as bases for the seating frames.
|
| Banner pylons were erected on the north side of the administration
building, along Second Street. These decorative steel pylons will serve as
miniature flagpoles for Reds banners and signage.
|
| Planter boxes were laid out in Crosley Terrace. These boxes will grow
and shape the grass infield of the entrance. This is also where the
statues of Joe Nuxhall, Ernie Lombardi, Ted Kluszewski and Frank Robinson
will be prominently featured.

| Masonry on the administration building, brewpub and pedestrian ramps
nears completion.
|
| Initial work on fire protection, telephone and security systems is
underway.

| Aisle rails were put in last week in the left field seating area below
the scoreboard.
|
| The suites are starting to take shape. Glass installation work is near
completion. There will be 60 luxury suites at Great American Ball Park, 57
of which will be sold via annual leases. The remaining three will be
available for rent as party suites for individual games through the Reds'
group and season sales department. |
