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.
