Not sure if this will actually happen or not. I’m bummed they’re taking the lot where Bengal Jim tailgates. That’s my go to spot for Reds games.
Damn they turned the river blue.
Paint that ugly bridge
Looks great
Surprised it took this long to get posted. Saw this this am. It’s supposedly $900 million, they didn’t cross the $1B threshold. Jot sure how i feel about it. I’d be ok if they build it off that new interchange on i75 south of monroe. Could possibly get butler/Warren counties to pay for it. Tear down the current stadium, build a new arena/convention center as well as streets/interchanges for the Brent Spence replacement. Tear down the current arena and build new development around the reds stadium/former arena site.
That practice facility looks really good. Re-routing Mehring Way makes sense, as does expanding the north plaza. I wish there would be a ramp from the 2nd street walkway to the north/northwest plaza. Right now, if I walk over from Covington I basically have to go all the way to the east entrance before I’m on the plaza.
I’m also unsure from these renderings if Central Avenue between the stadium and practice fields will remain open to traffic. I would think they would want to close that down.
This would be great
Renovations will cost about the same as a new stadium. I don’t see much of this happening.
Ruler of the Jungle platform is a great idea.
Would the players still have to walk across central?
We’re finally going to clean up the river!
I didn’t think I was going to be as angry as I am about this. Other than the covered practice field, there’s literally no point to any of this. We don’t need gigantic video screens on the outside of the stadium for anything. We don’t need to reroute Mehring Way for green space. And we don’t need to force an established business to move, for more green space, especially green space that’s going to somehow double as a parking lot. Reducing parking is the worst thing they could do down there.
The good thing about renovations: time. They can be done in pieces. And the infrastructure doesn’t need to be overhauled.
Love this. It’s Cincinnati. It’s sun, the river, architecture, and being outside. Screw domes.
Bush league. That’s a fuck ton of money for…not much of anything.

None of this outside the stadium is needed. It’s just doing renovations to do renovations. If you want to reno the inside fine. Also who the hell is paying for this? You know it sure as hell won’t be the Bengals
