I see 5 lies in a row.
I was so happy that I walked out the start of the 8th inning at yesterday’s game. Good job Reds 👏
The owners need to go!!!!
Attending yesterday’s game felt like a slap in the face as to my usual game routines. Each typical ballpark moment sapped of value. The last few games I’ve been to, the East Garage has been pre-paid only, even as I’m seeing that the top deck is completely open and waited in traffic for 15 minutes, for some a-hole cop to shout at me for being in the wrong lane. I get that it was oktoberfest, but I’ve been doing this routine for 15 years. I’m not paying $8 in fees to buy $15 parking online.
So we park downtown then walk up to the box office (again, I refuse to pay nonsense fees if I can avoid it), just to find that not every ticket is even available. I expected to pay $80 for 4 Fioptics tickets, but nope, only in advance. So then I’m looking for 4 upper view level seats, and nope, not even available. The cheapest to even get in was $100 total for lower view level.
My son asked for Dippin Dots, which is fine, he only gets them at reds games 3-4 times a year. He and my wife were gone for 3 innings(!), searching for freaking Dippin Dots. The garbage AI in the ballpark app didn’t have updates as to what concessions were open or stocked, and it seemed like none of them were. And for the announced 34k in attendance, that’s bullsh*t. Don’t get me started on the tip screen, when it’s grab-n-go.
All that to say, seeing Paul Skenes vs. Hunter Greene was cool, but the park-going activity was completely devoid of fun. I’m not sure they’ll want to come back. I’m a die-hard, of the type who are 100% exploitable by the Castellinis. I’ll make the drive from Lexington 8-10 times a year regardless. But the rest of my family isn’t. & I have the Castellinis to thank for potentially ruining a nice family activity. But that’s a $200 day that’ll go to Kings Island, extra cash or something else fun.
F*ck the Castellinis. Do us all a favor and sell the team, Bob. Then GTFO of town.
I look at my framed tickets from my first ever game with my dad as a kid in 2000 and weep 😞 I love the Reds so much but damn they have sucked for 90% of my time watching them
They should have just been honest and said “We promise we won’t say nice things about Hitler but aside from that the Reds will be mostly the same but a little bit worse overall.” That’s basically what we got after Marge.
Glad to see this posted today. It’s not the fact that they are so cheap and so cynical. It’s that they are exactly what they said they wouldn’t be and refuse to ever acknowledge it.
