| Final Media Tour: Media are invited to
attend the final quarterly tour of the Great American Ball Park construction
site. On Tuesday, March 11, at 2:00 p.m., project managers will deliver a
progress briefing, conduct a site tour and answer questions regarding
construction of Great American Ball Park. This also is an opportunity to
obtain sound, b-roll, interviews and photographs.
Because Great American Ball Park is still considered a construction site,
media attending the tour must be in proper attire. All participants must
wear sturdy, flat-soled, closed-heeled and closed-toed shoes and long pants.
Dresses, skirts, high heels and gym shoes are considered inappropriate
attire. The Project Safety Manager reserves the right to deny entry to
anyone not properly dressed for the construction site. |

| Construction News: The Cincinnati Reds
decided to switch bullpen locations. The Reds bullpen is now located beyond
left centerfield, between the Batter’s Eye and bleachers. The move was made
to give coaches a better view of the Reds as they warm up. |

| Open Houses and Dedication: There are 15
days until the gates open for the Great American Ball Park Open House
presented by RE/MAX, which takes place on March 22 and 23. The formal
dedication ceremony begins promptly at 9:00 a.m.
The Saturday tours will follow the dedication ceremony with the first
tour beginning at 10:00 a.m. and the last tour of the day starting at 6:30
p.m. Tours will begin again at noon on Sunday, March 23, and the last tour
will begin at 4:30 p.m. Tours are self-guided and fans may take as much time
as they like to visit the new ballpark. Concession stands will be open for
fan convenience. Hamilton County also will provide free parking at
County-owned riverfront lots to accommodate those attending the dedication
and open house. |
