Play-By-Play

 

Out With Old, In With the New: The Cincinnati Reds front office staff has begun the transition into the new administration building. They will officially occupy the building October 7. The media relations, clubhouse staff, coaches and trainers are the only departments not located in the administration building. They will move into the their respective work areas within the main superstructure upon completion.
 
Upon completion of Great American Ball Park, visitors will enter the building from Crosley Terrace or from the parking decks below. The glass-enclosed lobby reception area will greet the incoming visitors, where a Reds’ concierge will assist them. Ticket offices will be located on the first floor. Marketing, sales, human resources and financing departments will be on the second floor. Jim Bowden, John Allen, and baseball operations (i.e. scouting, travel, business and communications) will occupy the third floor. The main boardroom also will be on the third floor.
 
Group Tours: The Great American Ball Park Group Tours have been a successful way for public societies, civic organizations, and community groups to catch a glimpse of a work in progress. Eight groups have successfully toured the construction site since August. Tours run the third Wednesday of every month through January 2003.
 
Community Displays: The Great American Ball Park traveling display, featuring photographs, renderings and riverfront development information, will be on display in the 525 (Downtown Post Office) Building, 525 Vine Street, through October 3.
