Construction News: Workers continue to make notable
progress on all areas of Great American Ball Park. Following are some
highlights.
|
 | Crews have focused their efforts on the Cincinnati Reds Administration
Building. Workers are now setting up light fixtures and cabinets, as well
as putting in ceiling and flooring tiles. The Reds will move into their
new offices in October.
|
| The Motz Group is continuing preparation work on the field. They are
currently installing drainage pipes and irrigation lines. Crews also are
working on the area below the Batter’s Eye, beyond the left field wall.
This area will serve as a sod nursery.
|
| Installation Solutions continues to install seat posts and backs along
the upper levels of the ball park. Great American Ball Park will be one of
only a handful of Major League Baseball stadiums that will feature a cup
holder and team logo on every seat. Crews will begin setting the chairs
after the seatbacks are installed.

Fun Fact – The club seats will be upholstered with a 2-inch
padding, and the scout seats behind home plate will be fully upholstered,
similar in design and comfort to a chair in a movie theater.

glasswork on the Machine Room brewpub has been completed.

area below the main scoreboard.
