Great American Ball Park

To Host Group Tours

Public Opportunity to See Progress Firsthand

 

July 5, 2002 – Representatives from Hamilton County have announced a group tour plan for Great American Ball Park. This opportunity will give civic organizations, professional societies and public groups the chance to tour the construction site and see the immediate progress of the ball park and although tour opportunities and size will be limited, Hamilton County wanted to give the public some access to the project.
 
The group tours will occur the third Wednesday of every month, with the first tour beginning on August 21. Each tour will be 30 minutes long, and each group will be limited to 30 participants. There will be a total of three tours each day with the first tour of the day beginning at 3:30 p.m. The group tour dates are as follows:
 
  August 21
September 18
October 16
 
November 20
December 18
January 15 (2003)

 
“Our main goals are to complete the project safely, on time and on budget,” said Mike Sieving, Construction Project Executive for Hamilton County. “We are now planning events that will allow the public to tour Great American Ball Park upon its completion in March 2003. At this time, we are pleased to announce that we are offering tours to small groups to see the work in progress.”
 
Groups interested in signing up for a tour can do so by calling 513-564-0700. Each group will then be required to fill out a group tour registration form. All forms must be returned by noon on the first working day of each month. A random drawing will determine winning entries on that day. The winners will be notified that month. Groups not selected for one month will remain eligible for subsequent tours.
 

Great American Ball Park will be open for the 2003 season.
