Ballpark notes... (Dimensions: LFL-328, LF-355, LC-379, CF-404, RC-370, RF-350, RFL-325 / Capacity-42k) Cincinnati Park is gracious and unassuming - a sturdy, comfortable configuration that may be lacking in glitz but not in functionality. This classic ballpark offers pleasant summer evening views of the city skyline as well as luxery boxes between the first and second decks in the infield grandstand. One of the more unique occurrences in all of baseball takes place in Cincinnati Park before and after the game. Both home and visiting team's clubhouses are located behind the right field stands. The players have to walk through a public area, usually full of fans, to reach the playing field from the club-house and return to the club-house from the playing field. This is an old fashioned touch that adds to Cincinnati Park's charm. Day games start at 1pm, Night games start at 7pm.
City/Fan notes... Through the years, Cincinnati has attracted new businesses and new groups of people. Considering its long history of commercial success, the city has invested time and money on developing its cultural resources, a task to which it has devoted itself with special care. The goal of this community has always been to achieve excellence in city living. In fact, the citizens of Cincinnati became known as 'Excelsiors' long before they bestowed the nick-name upon their beloved pro baseball team. Excelsior fans are encouraged to be loud and quirky. As noted above, Cincinnati Park was designed so that the teams have to pass between the main grandstand and the rightfield stand in order to enter the playing field. As the enemy walks through, the fans greet them with a loud chorus of boos and heckles. However, once the game begins the hostility subsides and the fans are well behaved. But, when the game ends the opposition is subjected to more hostile treatment as they exit the field.
