Saw many Reds games there as a kid. Had a Pete Rose homerun shot come right at us in the right field seats.

I HATED Reiverfront. Spent much of my first game there roaming the stadium looking for a bratwurst and all they had were hot dogs.

I am from the Atlanta area, but the Reds were my favorite team as a kid, simply because Pete Rose was (and still is) my favorite athlete of my lifetime.

Around 1990 I made a work trip to the Cincinnati area and got to see a Reds game. What surprised me was how much it looked like the old Atlanta-Fulton County stadium.

I spent over half the game circling the walkway in the stadium, reminiscing about my own childhood memories. I thing another old stadium or two were built from the same general blueprints.
