Great American Ball Park

Notch and all

The Reds opened the Great American Ball Park (GABP) in 2003, and to say it was an improvement over sterile Cinergy Field would be a definite understatement.  Still, it doesn't quite measure up to, say, PNC Park, but it does contain some novel design elements.  One is "the notch" which permits pedestrians to see into the stadium from downtown Cincinnati.  This shot shows the opening, which is behind the third-base on-deck circle. For much more, see the BASEBALLPARKS.COM Review on this stadium.
