The state has appropriated $73.35 million for two Cincinnati professional sports stadium projects: Paul Brown Stadium; and the Great American Ball Park, including the Reds Hall of Fame. The Commission has reimbursed Hamilton County, which manages the projects, $73.35 million in state appropriations to date. The Legislature has established a combined funding cap of $81 million for the two facilities.
The new home of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team opened in March 2003. The facility is an open-air, natural-grass stadium with approximately 42,000 seats and 57 luxury suites. The facility also includes the Reds' administrative offices and some structured parking. In 2004, the Reds Hall of Fame, Fan Plaza, Team Store, and additional entrances were completed and opened to the public. State funds totaling $23.35 million have been invested in the project.
