Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I grew up in the Cincinnati metro area and always cheered for the Reds. I moved to the Milwaukee area about a year ago and my goal is to try to go to one game every series they play in Milwaukee (last picture in that sequence was from last week when the Reds played in Milwaukee).

That’s awesome!! How was it?

Thanks! I’ve always really liked it and it’s sad now with how many empty seats there are at every game due to the club’s poor performance and ownership.

Interesting. I always go for the “big red smokeys” instead of a regular hot dog. I remember doing that the first time I was ever at the ballpark and never looked back. It’s a beautiful ballpark though.

Thanks so much! I’ve got quite a few other baseball episodes out and lots more on the way! Visiting some college, minor league, MLB, and summer collegiate league stadiums this summer.

Thank you so much for the support! I appreciate you!

Haha! That’s brutal. When your ownership openly admits that they don’t care about the team, it’s kind of hard to want to give them money and show up for games.

Thanks! I think it’s a great park. Oh! It’s going to be tight for the last wild card spot. I can see it coming down to the final day. No offence, but I’m clearly cheering against your Padres! Haha!

Hey @Neet I’m heading to a Padres game tomorrow night. Any suggestions?

@@SACSportsAdventures Hey man! I hope you have a great time there. I suggest you go in from the outfield gates near Park at the park for some good views of the field. Also in the 4th inning behind home plate, fans from Padres twitter meet up and There's usually some great people there. I might advise you to take the trolley there to avoid some outrageous parking prices around the park. And you can't go wrong with any of the food choices there, especially the nachos, pizza port and hodads burgers (a bit spendy tho of course) Also at the very top of the park on the right field side has some great views of the bay and the Coronado bridge! Good choice to see a game where they're wearing their new city connects too. I hope you enjoy!!!!

@@neet2083 thanks so much! That’s the fantastic insight I was looking for! I’ll even been cheering for your Padres!

Yes! I totally forgot to talk about the Machine Room Grill. I’ve eaten in there once and it was super cool.

Club level seats are the best in the house. View is great and the food is ridiculously good.

Yeah, I’m only 25. Haha! I grew up playing and watching and had a falling out with baseball for a while but got back into it a lot recently and I love visiting different ballparks and taking in games. It’s a much different pace than other sports and the younger generation has a shrinking attention span so I think that’s a major contributing factor.

@@SACSportsAdventures Thats actually very interesting. I have a somewhat similar story. When I was a little kid I was into baseball and played t-ball and regular little league for a couple of years. Then after an incident where I was hit in the forehead with a fly ball and had to go to the hospital, it sort of traumatized me, being just a kid, and I got completely out of baseball and VERY into basketball for a good 12 years. But after a while, I felt like pro basketball was changing in ways that I didn’t like, becoming less traditional, much more corporate, and the players focusing less on the game and more on money. Which I suppose you could argue happens in any pro sports, but baseball seemed like it was more tradition, has more history (which I love), and the players had to work harder to get to the pros, with the various levels of minor league ball. So since I was about 19 or 20, it’s been the main pro sport I’ve really been into. I grew up in the Midwest though, even though I’ve lived in Florida for several decades now, so I’ve been a Cubs fan for a long time, with the Tigers being sort of my secondary and American League team. In retrospect, I wish I hadn’t lost a lot of years missing baseball like I did, mostly over one incident. When you’re just a very little kid though, things like that can have a huge impact on you. I’ve been so glad the past 25 years or so that I have rediscovered baseball. I’ve been trying to get to all 30 ballparks, but living in the southeast, it’s difficult. I’ve been to 9 of them so far, but I’m working on it.

@@cgimovieman thanks so much for sharing! Hockey has always been my number one sport with baseball typically at 2. Have you seen my video from Wrigley Field yet?! I’ve been to 9 MLB stadiums as well (and one that’s no longer in use) and at planning on a 10th this summer!

@@SACSportsAdventures Spencer, yes, I've watched all of your MLB ballpark videos. Including Wrigley. Of which I'm obviously VERY partial to, and have done some pretty cool stuff there. I've been trying as best that I can to get to at least 1 new ballpark I've never been to each year, but it's tough being in the southeast and on a tight budget. I'm always up to Michigan each year to visit family, but usually around the holidays when the baseball season is over. I'm also a huge distance runner, and in Chicago for the marathon each year the first week in October. But unfortunately that's usually only about 1 week after the Cubs have stopped playing. But in 2016 it obviously wasn't, and I was able to get to the first postseason game there. So glad for that. Something I'll never forget, even if it wasn't the World Series that year. I've actually been to the cities where a lot of other ballparks are, but it's either been outside of baseball season, I just haven't had time on the visit, or the team was on away games at the time. And I really don't count having been to a park unless I actually see a game there.

That’s awesome! Thanks so much, I’ve got a lot more videos on the way! Be sure to check out my video from the Brewers stadium and let me know what you think. Do you live around the Milwaukee area? I moved to the area about 2 years ago and have made it to a lot of Brewers games but the Reds will always be my number one.

Thanks so much! I’ve got 17 Stadium Reviews posted so far with lots of more on the way!

I’ve always loved the dimensions and different height of the left field wall. It’s unique enough to have its own style but not crazy random like some ballparks.

That’s a ballpark on my list to get to someday. Seems like a super nice place.

I don’t think I could still support the Reds if they did that. I’m a massive Browns fan and we like to joke that they’re the “Kentucky Bengals”. The “Kentucky Reds” would be too much for me to handle. Haha!

@@SACSportsAdventures Although many teams play outside their city. The Jets/Giants play in NJ, Cowboys in Arlington, 49ers in Santa Clara, Rams/Chargers in Inglewood, Rays in St Pete, etc so they could still be the Cincinnati Reds if they put a future stadium in Covington facing the Cincinnati skyline.

Sorry for the delay. I’d think that even if there is glass, you’d be able to see through it fine.

Great question! They took away the beautiful view of the river! Really takes away a lot of the charm the upper decks had.

Prob cause you could see the game and shows free at a distance

Hmmm… my only guess is Pete Rose… I took a stadium tour in 2009 and now that you say that, I totally remember them saying something about that but don’t recall what exactly it was.

That’s extremely true. It’s a difficult time to be a Reds fan now when the owners don’t even pretend to care about the club.

@@SACSportsAdventures Yeah i got free tickets to today's game with some nice seats, so that is where im going lol

@@blockbuster9610 nice! Enjoy! As much as I’m frustrated with the organization I’m still going to support them. I live in the Milwaukee area and they’re going to be in town soon so I’m still going to go and support them.

Not at all. Last night they beat the beat team in baseball in front of a smallest crowd in the ballparks history.

@@SACSportsAdventures One game does not a season make.

It was paid for by the tax payers of Hamilton County. I normally don’t discuss how the stadiums are funded because that can bring up some awkward politics and Cincinnati is a great example of that since there was a tax increase to fund the stadium. It’s something that I can definitely consider adding in moving forward though.

The pizza sucks but the calzones are amazing! Haha!

or decatur claiming the bears.

Yes, you are correct. I agree that it’s a very odd thing to do since it’s technically not the same franchise (this one founded in 1881) but I think it’s more of the City of Cincinnati claiming “we had the first professional team”.

That’s correct! Haha!

@@SACSportsAdventures we’re gonna go have a chat …… near the river…….

@@Bigunk-hc2ri haha! I’m also a Browns fan so………………………

@@SACSportsAdventures you’re going in the river maybe it’ll take half of you to Cleveland with the browns

I’ve for sure had better elsewhere. They don’t really offer anything too unique.

@@SACSportsAdventures you forgot the Penn station stands

@@Bigunk-hc2ri ah! I do love Penn Station!
