While the ballpark should have been built in Broadway Commons, it is still cool on the riverfront. Too much politics kept it out of BC (the city's getting a skyscraper next to the park in exchange for it being on the riverfront). Located on the winding banks of the Ohio River in downtown Cincinnati, Great American Ball Park serves as the home of the Cincinnati Reds, baseball's first professional franchise. Although praised for its innovative features, breathtaking views and affordable seating options upon its opening in 2003, Great American Ball Park also pays tribute to the Reds rich history. Crosley Terrace statues, Italian-marble mosaics, famous-dates banners and a nostalgic Sun/Moon Deck are just a handful of features that give this modern marvel a truly historic influence.
