ballpark review: great american ballpark
GREAT AMERICAN BALLPARK- Cincinnati, OH
reds vs pirates- april 06, 2007 - game time temperature: 32° F. by far the coldest game i have ever attended. this white and red gem on the ohio river is far more quaint than its 42,000 capacity would suggest. it's unabashedly "river" themed and unique enough to stand up to any of the other chic parks built as of late. despite the cold, the small crowd was rowdy and energetic. there were mascots running amok and some dude won a year's worth of pizza thanks to brandon phillips. now if someone would just tell the sound guy to stop playing lame, canned sound effects after EVERY foul ball...this place would be a great park to call home.
atmosphere: 8
viewability: 8
architecture: 7
peanuts: 5

Hopefully you were more prepared for the cold than we were last year at Shea.
prepared? yes. still colder? yes.
It looks so warm in the photo. Thanks for getting our tickets by the heated team shop so I could warm up between innings. :)
