I am going to be in Cincinnati next week for work. I am thinking about catching a game. The Dodgers are in town. Anyone been to that stadium before. Curious if anyone has any section recommendations.

I like the right field corner, right at the edge. You can look right down at the visters bullpen when they're warming up and the Ohio River is right behind you

I went once when I was in Cincinnati several years back for work. A couple of us walked down to the stadium and bought tickets from a reseller outside the stadium. We picked up seats about 15-20 rows up from the first base dugout. It was a good experience.

Go - you won't regret it. Don't need to buy from a reseller as there will be ample seats available. Just go to the box office and buy the day of. First base side is nice. Great ballpark, and great area around it with restaurants and bars.

the Reds HOF (next to the stadium) is worth the trip, went in October (LSU/Kentucky game)

Great American Smallpark...i have been a few times...i think the stadium is one of the most bland stadiums in MLB. That catastrophe in center field is a joke. You can probably sit in the front row since the fans have boycotted the team this year. Its just a meh ballpark if you ask me. To each their own...



This thing in Center Field is hideous...

Great ballpark. And it’s a hitters park too. Saw a game there last year - 7 total home runs. I agree about sitting in right field. Close to the river and can see the bridges. Really great view.

I like the reds stadium. If on a budget you can walk up and get five dollar seats. If you want great seats go stubhub and they are pretty cheap there

Check out the Reds HOF while you’re there. Area around the stadium is really nice to look around if you get there early. Plenty to do in Newport which is right across the river. Have fun.

I've been many times. Great views all around. I think it is a better venue than Houston or the old park in Arlington.

I've never been to GABP, but I would imagine a summer game against the Dodgers will be entertaining. The ball flies out of that stadium.

Great park as everyone else has said. Definitely check out the Reds Hall of Fame before the game, easy parking, and very cheap seats. An underrated park in my opinion.

I’ve only ever sat in a suite when there so I recommend that if you have the means.

Other than that, grab a beer pregame at Holy Grail or The Stretch. Reds HOF is top notch too.

Do order the Sky Rosa. But make sure you have access to a toilet for just in case.
