		All in all, despite the extensive construction and demolition of the entire left field, Cinergy Field promises to be a fine facility to catch a Cincinnati Reds game next summer.

		The Crosley field I remember was a natural red brick structure tightly woven into the fabric of a working class neighborhood known as "The West End".
		Paul Munsey suggests a theory: Paul thinks that because of the change in configuration of the field from NE aligned at Crosley to SE aligned at Riverfront, the dugout switch from third base side to first was made to keep the Reds on the shady side of the field.

	Cinergy Field makeover: Stadium becomes ballpark
		Since 1970, the 55,000-seat facility known first as Riverfront Stadium was a classic example of the circular, steel-and-concrete behemoths built in the late 1960s and early 1970s to accommodate both baseball and football on artificial turf.
		Taking the bite out of the eastern part of Cinergy required moving the entire playing field 11 feet closer to the stands and creating a new outfield wall that varies from 8 to 14 feet high, culminating in a 40-foot “Black Monster” in dead center field.
		There is work yet to do — a 10-foot addition to the center-field wall is not yet in place, a chain-link opening to allow umpires to see inside the bullpens behind the right field wall hasn't been installed, and the protective padding on the outfield walls remains to be hung.
