But maybe they will become more endearing over time.
    Glitzy garbage is smoke stacks and a truck in the OF.

    The design is not elegant at all

    I watched an interview with Cam Miller a few days ago and he said he might put it on YouTube

    Does anyone remember when the Riverfront fans would chant “We. Want. A Hit!” or “We. Want. An Out!”

    So many memories
    Parking on Public Landing
    Buying a top six ticket, then jumping the railing from the green to the blue seats
    Frosty Malts, with the wood spoon that gave your tounge splinters
    25 cent I-Bold cigars that came with a book of matches
    $1 hot dogs that tasted like they were warmed up in somebodies arm pit
    Smoking weed in the red seats behind the scoreboard
    Walks will haunt
    Took my future wife to a game vs. the Mets for our first date, she stayed for the whole game and didn't get bored, thats when I knew she was a keeper
    Sat front row in the blues right in front of the Reds bullpen mound, Jeff Reardon is warming up, Said to my wife "Thats Jeff Reardon, I liked him better with the beard" He looked at me and said "Yeah me to"
    the concouse in the blue section being as dark as midnight
    and so many more

    Re: Riverfront Remembered: A Film By Cam Miller

    I always found it interesting that they scheduled an All-Star game at Riverfront for literally just 2 weeks after it opened. I assume they had a backup ballpark in case it ended up not being ready.

    Looking forward to the doc, the trailer was great.

    I would guess they would have had it at Crosley since they played there till mid-season in 1970.

    According to the Wiki for the 1970 ASG, the game was going to be held in Atlanta if Riverfront wasn't ready. There's a source cited from the Chicago Tribune on the Wikipedia entry, so I assume it's true.

    - Top 6 and sneak into the blue seats, with sharpie and baseball cards. "Hey Mr. Oester!! Mr. Daniels!!!"
    - Better dodge those ushers though, when hopping the fence to blue. They had eyes in the back of their gray haired heads.
    - I don't recall a ball being tossed to a fan more than once or twice a game, if that.
    - There were these one seats, down the 3rd base line in the blue seats, in shallow left field. There were only two seats in the entire row, because of the angle. And you were right there up close and personal with the LFer.
    - The bathrooms were a different level of gross, and the toilet paper was scratchy.
    - The real fun was either, going around and sitting in as many different seats... which was the safer bet. Or, making a game of gradually moving down to the best seats you can sit in without getting busted by the ushers. I never made it behind the plate, but I got as close as front row right by the Reds dugout entrance. Not bad for a 5 dollar ticket.
    - In my older age, I now wonder if the ushers were really as bad as I thought they were. Or if we were as slick as we thought we were. We got away with a lot, and of all the games I went to as a kid, and I went to a lot of them, we never got kicked out once. The worst we got was "move on, kid..." I'm guessing the reality was, we got more eyerolls with nothing said or done from the ushers than anything else.
    - Walks do indeed haunt.
    - 1980s astroturf is hard. And hot, during the summer, even at night.
    - Sometimes it was nice to just stay up in top six, admire the views, and the summer breeze.
    - I thought those summers would last forever. Now I sound like a Bryan Adams song, great...
    The toilet paper was scratchy. You pooped at Riverfront? Ewwwww

    Old stadium documentaries are the best
