Pros: The Braves were in town
Cons: About everything else
Summary: Surprises can be nice, and this is what I got when Susidee showed me two tickets to the Braves game last night at Cinergy Stadium, with the hosting team the Cincinnati Reds. Being a die hard Braves fan to say I was excited would be an ... read more

Pros: the Braves won, the stadium was imploded in 2002
Cons: a multitude
Summary: We took a trip in the final season of Cinergy Field [previously Riverfront Stadium] to watch the Braves beat the Reds. This was a short 5 months before this field would be imploded to make way for Great American Ball Park. The Bengals had already ... read more

Pros: baseball- an american pastime
Cons: we pay when the players get greedy
Summary: Cinergy is now gone. 30+ years of history becomes a pile of rubble in mere seconds. We all watched it on television as the stadium imploded this past December. In September, I was there to watch Pete Rose and Johnny Bench come back and play for ... read more

Pros: Nice enough, Roomy
Cons: Going Bye-bye
Summary: If there's one stadium that I didn't want to see go it would have to be Cinergy Field. It was a nice enough baseball diamond and it's football field was OK when there was one. However, I would hate going to Bengals games and watching drunk painted people ... read more

Pros: History, Location.
Cons: Outdated and boring.
Summary: Riverfront Stadium has been the home to some pretty good sports over the years. But, like the Reds and Bengals, it has seen its better days. The Bengals moved on to a beautiful new stadium and the Reds will do the same next season. I have never really ... read more

Pros: Cheap Ticket Prices,
Cheap Prices on Food/Drink,
Baseball Field - Baseball is always fun
Cons: Boring Stadium, No Atmosphere, Fickle Fans,
Summary: I have grown up in nearby Northern Kentucky and have been in Riverfront; now Cinergy Stadium many times. I can tell you, first hand, that the stadium adds nothing to the quality of play on the field.
The field is a fish bowl with ... read more

Pros: Now has Grass! Many useless outfield seats gone. And as always: Cheap
Cons: Old stadium, nothing special. Fans can be quite dull. Big black wall in center field.
Summary: After being the home of the Bengals and the Reds for years, Cincinnati's "Riverfront Stadium" is going down with style as it makes some improvements for its last games as the home of the Reds.
The crummy Bengals have moved into their new stadium: ... read more

Pros: Great View
Cons: Low Variety Of Food
Summary: I am fifteen years old and have been a huge Reds fan all my life. I have been to Cinergy Field about 30 times. Since I only live about 20 miles from the Stadium it is very easy to get there and when I get a car Cinergy will probably be like a second home ... read more

Pros: parking, fans, the Reds
Cons: dirty, falling apart, lack of concession/food stands
Summary: When the Reds and Bengals opened up Cinergy Field (then Riverfront Stadium) in 1970, every baseball and football team wanted one of these bad boys. They all got together in the little pow wows, and agreed that pro sports needed more of these ... read more

Pros: fewer useless outfield seats!
Cons: past it's prime, lack of modern amenities
Summary: I managed to catch the CIncinnati Reds at Cinergy for their second game of the season against the Pirates. It had been years since I have been to the ballpark, and I was looking forward to seeing some of the changes. Anyway, as I was approaching the ... read more

Pros: They have some good players.
Cons: The stadium.
Summary: Don't go to Cinergy if you want to see a nice ballpark. Astroturf is it's biggest mistake, the perfect symetry of it is it's second, and the third is the atmosphere at the stadium itself. The astroturf makes the stadium increasingly hot in the summer ... read more

Pros: history, location, no frills
Cons: plastic Field
Summary: Cinergy Field--built in a time where multipurpose was the way to go, was state of the art in 1970. Triple decked and perfectly round, this stadium brought pro football into Cincinnati and kept the reds from moving. 30 years later, the concrete walls of ... read more

Pros: Missing pieces and sections from stadium will provide welcome change from old symmetrical layout / Economic place for the whole family to check out a quality baseball team
Cons: Extensive riverfront construction hinders accessibility, parking
Summary: The stale, nondescript, concrete-hulk of perfect symmetry-- also known as Cinergy Field-- is undergoing extensive changes throughout the winter of 2000. The entire Ohio riverfront is an expansive construction zone with groundbreakings already completed ... read more

Pros: Stadium Layout
Cons: Lack of parking
Summary: I attended a Pre-Season game against the Chicago Bears. The stadium is very well laid out. A good view can be had from any seat in the stadium. Sound system was excellent, however the Jumbotron's location was a little hard to see. The seating is ... read more

Pros: concrete, REAL baseball feel, high seats
Cons: that this place will become rubble soon
Summary: I'm sorry, but I find stadiums like these and the other, multipurpose stadiums of the 70's to be impressive. True, places like Cinergy aren't cozy, but they carry a powerful prescence, plus the view from the outside is outstanding, as it sits in the ... read more

Pros: Exciting Team, Griffey, Reasonable Prices
Cons: Traffic

Pros: Beautiful sight, perfect location, short drive.
Cons: Possibly a waste of money? Perfectly good stadium next door?
Summary: I have been fortunate enough to see the construction of the new NFL stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio. Strange to see two large, very capable stadiums so close together. Sometimes I ask myself why spend that much money building a new stadium, when the ... read more
