I confess that I was somewhat disappointed upon attending my first game in this park. There should have been more things paying homage to the Reds long and storied history. The smokestacks are cheesy and minor-leaguish. The views to the outside from inside the stadium are dull; it should've been angled towards downtown Cincy(which has one of the most beautiful skylines in the country). More landscaping is needed around the ballpark. Parking is crap. Aesthetically it IS a big improvement over Riverfront/Cinergy, so why do I find myself missing that old cookiecutter?
