Sites

  • A nod to the Reds former home, Crosley Field, a monument was created in front of the main entrance to highlight the park’s left-field terrace. Statues of Crosley-era Reds Joe Nuxhall, Ernie Lombardi, Ted Kluszewski and Frank Robinson are depicted playing a game.
  • Reds Hall of Fame is located on the west side of Great American Ball Park and celebrates the Reds’ historic past.
  • Adjacent to both Great American and the Reds Hall of Fame is a rose garden that symbolizes Pete Rose’s 4,192 hits.
  • Keep an eye out for The Great Eight & The First Nine mosaics upon entering the Ballpark. These 16×10 foot panels honor the Reds Big Red Machine of the 1970s and first professional baseball team, who called the Queen City home in 1869.
  • The Power Stacks in right center field, two smokestacks with 7 bats on each, to honor Pete Rose’s jersey number 14, are reminiscent to the steamboats that were common on the Ohio River.
