Opening Day Essentials at Great American Ball Park
As the Cincinnati Reds take on the Boston Red Sox at Great American Ball Park, fans are gearing up for an exciting Opening Day. If you're headed to the game, here's a handy guide on what you can bring along to ensure a smooth entry.
Bag Policy
The Reds are sticking with their 2025 bag policy, allowing the following items:
- Small Purses: Perfect for carrying essentials.
- Soft-sided Coolers: Bring your own food and non-alcoholic drinks in sealed plastic bottles.
- Food Bags: Snack away!
- Medical and Infant Care Bags: Necessary items for health and baby care are welcome.
- Reds Heads Bags: These have been a staple since 2020.
Remember, all bags must not exceed 16" x 16" x 8". Backpacks that don't fit these criteria won't be allowed.
Banners and Signs
Bring your team spirit, but keep these rules in mind:
- Location: No banners in the Lexus Diamond Club seating.
- Visibility: Don't block the batter's view or hang over fences.
- Content: Keep it clean-no commercial, political, or offensive messages.
- Safety: Use foldable materials to comply with size requirements.
Cameras and Recording Devices
Capture the memories with cameras and video recorders under 16" x 16" x 8". However, recording game action is a no-go. Leave the drones, tripods, and monopods at home.
Beverage Rules
While glass bottles, cans, and alcoholic drinks are off-limits, you can bring soft drinks and water in clear plastic bottles with intact safety seals. Leave the insulated cups and restaurant containers behind.
Cooler Guidelines
Soft-sided coolers within the size limit are fine, but hard-sided ones aren't allowed.
Prohibited Items
Here's what you should leave at home:
- Aerosols (except spray sunscreen and bug spray)
- Alcohol and illegal substances
- Animals (service animals are okay)
- Backpacks with multiple pockets
- Beach Balls, hoverboards, and drones
- Explosives and weapons
- Glass bottles and opened plastic bottles
- Inflatables, laser pens, and noisemakers
- Obscene clothing and derogatory signs
- Selfie sticks and camera support pods
Stay informed and enjoy the game! The Reds can update these policies anytime, so it's always good to check before heading out.
