Construction News: Workers continue to
make notable progress on all areas of Great American Ball Park. Following
are some highlights:
|
 | Crews have installed the Great American Ball Park sign along the west
side of the structure, above Club 4192. Upon the demolition of Cinergy
Field, fans will be able to see the sign from Elm Street.
|
| The press box is beginning to come together. Unlike Cinergy Field, the
windows of the press box will open and the spacious work areas will be
writer-friendly with a better ergonomic design. The Great American Ball
Park press box will feature four tiered levels for better viewing.
|
| The home team locker room is starting to take shape. Workers are
currently installing the ceiling. The locker room will feature two
Cincinnati Reds wishbone “C” logos embedded in the ceiling. Monitor stands
will be mounted in the next couple of weeks.
|
| Technicians will begin outfitting the scoreboard room. Once completed,
this room will serve as the scoreboard operation control center.
|
| Workers are finishing up with the installation of the entrance gates.

Ball Park traveling display, featuring photographs, renderings and
