FIELD PROJECTS
As a part of the Reds 150th anniversary, the Reds Community Fund has taken part in two special field renovation projects in 2019. Historic Ross Park in St. Bernard has received a new synthetic infield, upgrades to the outfield, plus a renovation of the bleachers, concessions stand and surrounding park. The other project has taken place in Northern Kentucky at the Bellevue Vets complex, where the high school field has received a new synthetic infield and an expanded outfield, along with upgrades to the two adjacent fields.
Both renovated ball fields feature a seating and press area designed in the spirit of the original home of the Reds, the "Palace of the Fans." The design and construction of these unique elements was overseen by MSA Architects.
