The Cincinnati Reds are one of the most storied franchises in all of Major League Baseball. They are also the first-ever professional team and now play in the National League Central Division, against such rival teams as the Houston Astros, St. Louis Cardinals, and the Chicago Cubs. They are best known for their championship teams of the 1970s, the Big Red Machine. Those teams were led by Hall of Famers Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, and the controversial Pete Rose. The last championship they won was in 1990, under the management of Lou Piniella.

In 2003, after years of playing in Riverfront stadium, the Cincinnati Reds moved into a brand new baseball-only facility, the Great American Ballpark. Great American Ball Park is a 42,000-capacity facility that combines the charm and allure of historical ballpark venues with the cutting-edge technology and all-inclusive amenities of today's sports superstructures. The ballpark is located on the river in Cincinnati, Ohio and has many distinct features that make having a ticket to a Red's game a unique experience. One of the features found only at the Great American Ballpark is "the gap" located along the third base line. This gap in the stadium provides fans at the ballpark a view of the Cincinnati skyline. The stadium also has the widest video screen in all of Major League Baseball.

The Reds will continue to compete in the National League Central at the Great American Ballpark for years to come. Tickets to the baseball games should be hot commodities every season. Order yours today!
