If you find yourself envious of those who are able to set foot inside the ballpark, you shouldn’t be
A reflected view of the fan-free Great American Ballpark on Saturday.
But there is a certain sound that surrounds and envelopes a baseball game, and it is a sound that has little to do with the crack of a bat or the pop of a glove. It is the sound of clamor, of activity, of people. The best baseball stadiums, like Cincinnati’s, are in heavily trafficked areas, often downtown, and a baseball game being played isn’t so much a sporting event as it is a civic call to action. It is an announcement that things are happening. Bars fill up hours before a first pitch.
But there was no stir outside the stadium during the opening weekend of the long-awaited season. Five minutes before first pitch, an outdoor table at the Holy Grail Tavern — which, located directly across the street from the Great American Ballpark, is as fine a place for an establishment called the “Holy Grail Tavern” as you will find in the entire state of Ohio — was readily available.
This has reportedly been the case around baseball stadiums all throughout the country, even famously raucous Wrigleyville, and it of course makes sense: It doesn’t exactly feel like a fun or responsible time to be out in public brandishing your Guy Fieri hat and root, root, rooting for your team. And to be clear, it is definitely weird inside the stadium too.
