Great American Ball Park Seating Chart
Home of the Cincinnati Reds since 2003, replacing the multi-purpose Riverfront Stadium. The Ohio River views beyond right field, the Power Stacks (replica smokestacks) that fire after home runs, and the Crosley Terrace statues honor the team's deep heritage.

- Sun/Moon Deck — right-field outfield
- View Level 400s — upper deck
- Riverboat Deck — left-field outfield

Diamond Seats 4 behind home plate. Sun Deck (right field) seats are the cheaper way to catch Joey Votto-style left-handed home runs.
Tips before you go
The Power Stacks fire for every Reds home run — sit in left field for the best view of the pyrotechnics. The Reds Hall of Fame next door is included with most ticket packages; allow 45 minutes pre-game.
How to read the Great American Ball Park seating chart
Great American Ball Park seats 42,319 fans around a baseball diamond, so reading the chart starts at home plate and works outward. Field-level sections ring the infield and outfield: the lower-number sections behind the plate and along the baselines sit closest to the action, while outfield and bleacher sections are farther out but usually cost far less. Above field level the club and upper decks climb in tiers, and the section number tells you which way you face — in toward the infield or down a foul line.
Three things decide a Great American Ball Park seat: how close you are to the diamond, whether you sit behind the plate or out toward a foul pole, and how high you are. The value sweet spot at a ballpark this size is usually the lower outfield or the first rows of the upper deck behind the plate — close enough to follow the game, cheap enough to justify. Shade matters too, so check which sections fall under the overhang for a day game, and cross-check the official Great American Ball Park map against your ticket before you buy.
