Great American Ball Park is a wonderful place.
Maybe it doesnāt quite have the charm of a place like Camden Yards. Maybe it doesnāt have the stunning views beyond its outfield walls that PNC Park has. But with the possible exception of that dang riverboat in dead-center, itās an aesthetically pleasing venue, one thatās easy to access and move around in, with no poor views of the action on the field. It doesnāt get filled close to capacity often these days, but when GABP is full, it is among the most vibrant places you could watch sports.
It also might be one of the Redsā biggest obstacles to winning.
