The Cincinnati Reds want fans to come back to Great American Ball Park.

Cincinnati submitted an official plan for the return of Reds fans this season to Major League Baseball, the state of Ohio, the city of Cincinnati, and Hamilton County

Both the city and county have approved the plan, albeit "with lots of conditions," a source told Rosecrans. MLB and Ohio have yet to respond.

The plan, if implemented, allows a portion of fans to return in either September or for the playoffs, the source told Rosecrans. Details of the plan, such as to how many fans are allowed into the stadium, are unknown. Great American Ball Park's capacity is 42,319.


Reds are 1st

Red Stockings, precursors to MLB's Cincinnati Reds, played baseball's first pro game on May 4, 1869, against the amateur Great Westerns of Cincinnati

quote:

May 24, 1935, the first night game in major league baseball history was played at Cincinnati's Crosley Field, where the home team defeated the Phillies, 2-1.


quote:

On August 26, 1939, the first televised Major League baseball game is broadcast on station W2XBS, the station that was to become WNBC-TV. Announcer Red Barber called the game between the Cincinnati Reds and the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn, New York.

Anything that brings back the norm I will support. I know this will be shut down though quickly because everyone in this country is nothing but spineless cowards though.

It should work. The Cincinnati Reds and Bengals fans have been practicing social distancing at games for a few years

Edited to change to the Bengals Paul Brown stadium. The Brown's fans weren't as socially distanced as the Bengals

reds are desperate and need the fans cash, as does the downtown area near stadium

that's why they are brain storming to get fans back

Meanwhile what happens when you have to shut the Cardinals down for the season. No way they will be able to catch back up.
