	Great American Ball Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Great American Ball Park is located in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio on the Ohio River between U.S. Bank Arena and the site of the former Cinergy Field.
		The park record for the longest home run is held by towering outfielder-first baseman Adam Dunn, who, in the fourth inning of the Reds' August 11, 2004 game versus the Los Angeles Dodgers, blasted an estimated 535-footer off of Jose Lima that bounced off Mehring Way and into the Ohio River.
		Great American Ball Park, along with Paul Brown Stadium, has been credited as revitalizing the look of downtown Cincinnati.

		While the parking lots may be full of that famed Milwaukee tailgating activity, this does not change the fact that those parking lots are very far removed from the stadium.
		Specialties in the park include a train, a hill in play, the giant scoreboard, the flagpole in play, and it is also the first ballpark to have a visual announcement board for deaf and hard of hearing fans.
		And when you imagine this park without that skyline you are left with a rather average venue highlighted mostly by a shockingly crystal clear scoreboard and the delicious Primanti Brothers sandwiches.

	Ballpark Digest -- Ballpark Visits -- Great American Ball Park / Cincinnati Reds
		Oriole Park at Camden Yards is correctly hailed as a trendsetter in ballpark design, the first retro ballpark in the major leagues.
		The horseshoe design of the grandstand provides great angles for fans, and our photos are perhaps a bit misleading: in reality, the foul ground isn't as spacious as these photos would indicate, and the folks sitting in the sections down the lines must constantly be on their guard against foul balls.
		Statues of former Reds greats Joe Nuxhall, Ted Kluszewski and Ernie Lombardi dominate the area, which is reached after passing through a limestone giant bas relief entitled "Spirit of Baseball." Past the front gates are two large mosaics honoring the original 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings and the 1970s Reds of the "Big Red Machine" era.

		But when the Great American Ball Park (they’re not just boasting, they have a naming rights agreement with Great American Insurance Company) opened, some fans were surprised to discover another theme: riverboats.
		Yes, the Great American Ball Park is located on the Ohio River, and yes, the river plays an important part in the city of Cincinnati, but the flashing smoke stacks intended to mimic a riverboat in the outfield seemed a little Disneyesque and over the top.
		And then there’s the most unique part of the Great American Ball Park’s design—the Reds call it a “notch,” some people just call it a “hole.” Whatever you call it, it’s a large space in the upper deck behind third base that breaks up the upper deck.
