  • Great American Ball Park is a Major League Baseball park in Cincinnati, Ohio. It is the home of the National League's Cincinnati Reds franchise. It opened in 2003, replacing the Reds' former home, Cinergy Field, which was known as Riverfront Stadium from its opening in June 1970 until the 2002 season. In 1996, Hamilton County voters passed a one-half percent sales tax increase to fund the building of two new venues for both the Cincinnati Reds and the National Football League's Cincinnati Bengals. Previously, the teams shared occupancy of Cinergy Field, but complained that the aging multi-purpose stadium lacked modern amenities and other enhancements necessary for small market teams to be competitive. Great American Ball Park was built on a plot of land located between the site of the former Cinergy Field and U.S. Bank Arena informally referred to as "the wedge". Due to the limited available space and the site's close proximity to the Ohio River, one phase of the construction of Great American Ball Park necessitated the partial demolition of Cinergy Field. Originally, the address of the park was 100 Main Street. However, it was changed to 100 Joe Nuxhall Way in honor of the Reds' late pitcher and broadcaster who died in November 2007. Despite the patriotic tone of the park's name, it is actually the name of a company which holds its naming rights, Great American Insurance Group. Carl Lindner, Jr. , the chairman of the board of American Financial Group, the parent of Great American Insurance Group, was also the Cincinnati Reds' majority owner up to January 2005 when he sold majority interest to local businessman Robert Castellini. The first-ever Major League Baseball game in the stadium took place on March 28, 2003 against the Cincinnati Reds' upstate American League rivals, the Cleveland Indians. The first official Major League game took place in the stadium on March 31, 2003 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ken Griffey, Jr. had the first hit in Great American Ball Park, a double. Former President George H. W. Bush threw out the first pitch at the first regular season game against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates. Then vice-president Dick Cheney threw out the first pitch on opening day 2004 against the visiting Chicago Cubs. Then-president George W. Bush threw out the first pitch before the Reds' opening day game in 2006, also against the Chicago Cubs. Great American Ball Park hosted the Major League Baseball Civil Rights Game in 2009, in which the Chicago White Sox defeated the Reds 10–8, and is scheduled to host the game again in 2010 (in which the Reds will play a yet-to-be-named opponent).
  • Der Great American Ball Park ist das Stadion der US-amerikanischen Baseball-Mannschaft Cincinnati Reds, die darin ihre Heimspiele in der Major League Baseball austrägt. Der Name Great American Ball Park kommt von einer Versicherung, die als Namenssponsor auftritt. Die Cincinnati Reds sind in diesem Markt, der einer der kleinsten in der MLB ist, durchaus ein wichtiger Faktor, die Zuschauerzahlen liegen bei ca. 30.000. Mit dem Neubau rechneten die Verantwortlichen mit einer deutlich höheren Zahl, obwohl das einer Steigerung von ca. 7000 pro Spiel entspricht.

  • グレート・アメリカン・ボール・パーク（Great American Ball Park）は、アメリカのオハイオ州シンシナティにある野球場。MLBシンシナティ・レッズのホーム球場である。 レッズとNFLシンシナティ・ベンガルズはリバーフロント・スタジアムを共用の本拠地としていたが、それぞれの専用新球場の建設を要望。「老朽化したうえに兼用球場では客が呼び込めない。小さいマーケットでは致命的ダメージになる」と両球団は考えていた。 1996年3月に住民投票が行われ、シンシナティ市が両新球場の建設に公金を投入することが承認された。これにより、シンシナティ市民に特別消費税が課されることとなった。1998年11月に行われた住民投票では、いくつかの球場建設プランの中から、オハイオ川沿岸に建設する案が選ばれた。2000年10月4日に工事開始。ネーミングライツは、グレート・アメリカン・インシュランス社が30年7500万ドルで買い取った。 白い鉄骨や照明灯の形状など、同じオハイオ州内のプログレッシブ・フィールドに似ている箇所が見受けられる。
